Canada to make online hate speech a crime punishable by fine
&quot;Hate Speech&quot; is a super political term, and I would argue probably should have special protection at this point. It&#x27;s not much of a leap to see this used to enforce current political orthodoxy.<p>We already have laws about inciting to violence as I understand it, which is justifiable. This makes it an offence to &quot;expresses detestation or vilification of a person or group on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination&quot;.
