hi Big Glenn:  A reference to Chief Justice Brian Dickson is in the Volume 38, Number 1 (Spring 2000) in the Osgoode Law Journal, page 216, "Dickson described freedom of expression as "a crucial aspect of the democratic commitment, not merely because it
permits the best policies to be chosen from among a wide array of proffered options, but additionally because it helps to ensure that participation in the political process is open to all persons..."   On page 218, "In Keegstra,Dickson found that the CriminalCode prohibition of hate propaganda infringed freedom of expression. He also held that this legislative measure could be justified under section 1 of the Charter.I suggest that the significant feature of Dickson's Keegstra judgment was his determinative assessment of the democratic values at issue. In a collision between the right of freedom of expression and fundamental democratic values, the values of democracy prevailed..." so, a political speech if hateful is banned.
