From what I read of the bill being in Canada using the wrong pronoun once/twice or accidentally would not fall under the criminal code. In cases of repeated purposeful use it would be considered harassment.
This is a non issue because you don’t have to say he/her she/him ect at all.
One could say .. they, this person, ect .. so only if one WISHED to use a pronoun repeatedly to willfully harass someone it would be counted as harassment since they are now protected by anti discrimination laws.
The only actual change was adding gender identity to the groups protected by the human rights act.
So one can now not treat them worse than we treat other marginalized groups.
