The Trudeau government is proposing legal changes intended to curb online hate speech and make it easier for the victims of hate speech to launch complaints.
The proposed Bill C-36 includes an addition to the Canadian Human Rights Act that the government says will clarify the definition of online hate speech and list it as a form of discrimination.
"These changes are designed to target the most egregious and clear forms of hate speech that can lead to discrimination and violence," said Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti at a Wednesday evening news conference.
"They do not target simple expressions of dislike or disdain that pepper everyday discourse, especially online."
The amended act would define hate speech as "content that expresses detestation or vilification of a person or group," including over the internet.
The new definition is said not to include offensive language more broadly. It also excludes content that hurts, humiliates or expresses dislike or disdain. Private communications are also exempt.

If some group X commits some atrocity and proudly takes credit for it, would it be hate speech to point that out?
Canada is just a giant province of the CCP so why shouldn’t it have the CCPs internet laws? Hmm was that merely offending Canadians or directing hate at them? Fascist laws are so confusing!!
Canada’s soft leftist fascism is steadily getting firmer.
#4. Comrade Chairman Trudeau learned well from his communist parents and their Cuban teachers.
The old Soviet-directed Communist Party of Canada will now be known as the Canadian Communist Party (CCP).
Vancouver Province and nearby regions will be known as the Canadian Provinces of Red China.
The legislation is so deliberately vague as to be both meaningless and extremely dangerous at the same time.
I guess Canada’s voters are just as idiotic as American.
Makes you want to go online and say things like: “I believe in three genders. Male. Female. and FREAK!”
Oh Canaduh
Or they have the same kind of vote fraud.
