"We're gonna open up the libel laws."

From your linked post / article:

Warman has been awarded more than $127,000 in general damages, aggravated damages, punitive damages and court costs because of 41 defamatory statements published on the conservative website in 2007.

Warman rose to prominence during the past decade by using the Canadian Human Rights Act to shut down the websites of people spreading hate speech; it made him the target of free speech advocates in the conservative blogosphere, and on websites such as Free Dominion.

Goodbye FR if Trump gets elected.

Good old FR. Everything around here is either
about Trump or Jesus.

Goodbye FR was my first thought. Let alone the lawsuits against individuals posting. Lovely, eh?

A little information on the aforesaid Richard Warman. He was employed by the Human Rights Commission of Canada. He had attempted to shut down websites for "hate speech". He pointed to scurrilous hateful posts by persons and left on these sites. A forensic check on the posts found they seemed to be from a computer of a young woman. She was horrified. Further checks indicated Warman had sent them HIMSELF and somehow the same ISP was used.

Warman fessed up. The Law Society of Canada then issued the statement that this was "disturbing". No action taken.
