    I see. You're fine with hate speech as long as its not published.
    Is "publish" the word you are hung up on?

    It's not hate if it's against Christians. Isn't that right addict? Don't deny it.
    I dislike all religions equally, skull.
    I sincerely believe they are mankind's worst invention

    If Canada is gonna have these ridiculous laws, at least apply them equally. That means that you can't offend religious folks. Are you for that? I doubt it, because you'd be in jail.

    Aww, that poor comedian who was charged by a conservative government and released by a liberal government. Is that the one?

    Tell that to the comedian. In Canada, the government's job is to keep folks from being offended. Grow a pair.

    Well, you have all the answers I guess. None of what you seem extremely concerned about affects 99% of the population.
    It only affects those who want to use hate to belittle others and then claim innocence.
    Maybe that's you, I don't know.

    Dummy, use your brain. Who decides what hate is? According to liberals, misgendering is hate. A joke is considered hate.

    That only matters if one wants to "willfully promote hatred". Most Canadians don't, unlike about 30% of the US.

    You’ll often hear Canadians talking about their fundamental right to free speech. But, as with many Canadian misconceptions, this is a case of them mistaking themselves for Americans.

    Yes, “freedom of expression” is guaranteed by our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but there’s a pretty big loophole nobody mentions. The preamble to the Charter explicitly mentions that this freedom is subject to “reasonable limits.”

    There’s also the other part of the Charter where provincial governments can steamroll any freedom they want, provided they publicly announce that they’re doing so.

    This is all very different from the US, where you just have the First Amendment.

    But in Canada, it means that you can get fined or even go to jail based on something you say. Say something on Twitter that “wilfully promotes hatred” and you could go to jail for two years.

    No, sir. This thread is about free speech. We have it, Canada doesn't. Trump might get Canada more of it like he did Britain. Keep your fingers crossed. Your little country needs all of they can get.
