Canadian Court Bans Flyer as 'Hate Speech'

[East of Eden]

From the link:

"In short, with this Whatcott ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada has held that nothwithstanding the ostensible guarantees of freedom of expression and freedom of religion in the Charter, a Canadian can be found guilty of violating the prohibition on hate speech in a human rights code by making a statement even if (a) the statement is true; (b) the speaker did not intend to express hatred; (c) the speaker was expressing his or her honestly held religious conviction; and (d), there is no proof that the statement has caused any harm."

Truly amazing, apparently free speech is now dead in Canada, and this from the same court members who earlier defended Nazis' use of free speech. More evidence for my theory that if fascism ever comes to North America, it will come from the left.

Anybody want to defend this?

I shouldn't be allowed to stand outside a Mormon Church yelling at the congregation that "I once heard of a Mormon High Priestess who molested a child and all Mormon High Priestesses are child molesters!!!" I shouldn't be allowed to do that... even if it were true. I bet if I did, I'd be arrested, and no Mormon would stop to tell the police to let me stay.

Well, given that Mormons don't have high priestesses.....goddesses, yes, but not high priestesses....

But this is an unfortunate example, you realize, because Mormons are rather used to idiots yelling stupid things outside meeting houses and Temples. Comes with the territory.

Just interjecting a factoid.
