The Canadian Charter of Rights, too, guarantees "freedom of the press," but it places "reasonable limits" on it. That's why the Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the anti-hate provisions of both the Criminal Code and human rights statutes.

Reasonable Limits is how we got “Campaign Finance Reform”.

Political speech is what the founders had in mind when the First Amendment was drafted.

What does Reasonable mean when we are talking about Free Speech Rights?

Well when it is your ox that is being gored as it seems to be with Mr. Haroon Siddiqui a more restrictive speech code would seem appropriate.

How ever I would be very surprised indeed if Mr. Siddigui would be in favor of monitors of hate speech entering a Mosque to see what kind of hate was flowing from the mouths of Imams and then hauling the Imams before a human rights commission.

Maybe this is the cure for the kangaroo court?
