If “Hate speech” is not protected speech then there’s no freedom of speech.

Idiot Canadians.

Who decides what is hate speech?

If “Hate speech” is not protected speech then there’s no freedom of speech. Idiot Canadians.

The Supreme Court of Canada has held that "hate speech" is not protected by the Canadian Charter of Freedoms. The U.S. Supreme Court, in contrast, has held that hate speech is protected by our First Amendment. (RAV v. City of St. Paul, 505 U.S. 377 (1992)).
