"You used your intellect in a way that was as negative as possible and could well have a ripple effect that could be catastrophic in many communities," the judge said in passing sentence."

Like their politicians don't engage in hate campaigns all the time.

But they don't use their intellect in a negative way (or any).

So happy to read this was done in Canada. Thought it was USA for a second.

Don't worry, even if our Congress never passes these laws, our Federal courts might start enforcing the Canadian laws for us instead.

It's also like thoughtcrime as characterized in Orwell's 1984.

A world populated by the thoughtpolice, a telescreen in every room, and off to the dreadful Room 101 if your thoughts are not in order!

Excellent post!

Isn't Canada already legally declaring the Bible to be "hate speech"?

Great post!

"Hate crime will be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted vigorously by the Crown's office," he said.

"You used your intellect in a way that was as negative as possible and could well have a ripple effect that could be catastrophic in many communities"

Scary.

Canada....AND THE U.S.:
PA passed a bill last Dec '02 that makes parts of the Bible hate-speech and illegal to read. The law is called "Ethnic Intimidation." You "offend," "harrassment by communication or address." That would include sermons.

I really honestly believe that a Leftist sweep of the Presidency and Congress would destroy this country (probably not without a fight- but we can't afford another Civil War right now).

(Sigh...) All I wanna do is live in peace and security enjoying my property and being left alone. But with every socialist, liberal and leftist scumbag conspiring to make it impossible I fear civil war will be inevitable at some point. Hope I'm dead and gone when it happens.

"and one count of possession of a weapon dangerous to the public..."

??? This could mean anything. Freedom lovers beware. It is with these words that they will convict you.
