Canada as so many other places is notorious for not granting the freedom of speech to its citizens if that speech isn't flowery and full of goodness. Many have gone to jail for expressing views that the Holocaust didn't happen or that certain racial groups are hurting Canada. Such speech may be moronic but it shouldn't be illegal. A new ruling recognizes this. picked by 2manyusernames 3 months ago
