I can offend all the religious folks I want, and I have. I just can't publish hate. Sometimes you seem intelligent, and then we have conversations like this.Leave a comment:

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.👍 1Leave a comment:

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

It only affects those who want to use hate to belittle others and then claim innocence.
Maybe that's you, I don't know.Leave a comment:

Lets put it out here for you to see. We already know that a Comedian can go to jail,.
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.Leave a comment:

Although your knowledge of Canada is improving, it is still lacking in most areas. Keep up the good work though, I would never discourage anyone from learning. BravoLeave a comment:

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.Leave a comment:
