Nope I disagree, a man in his position should not get away with uttering shit like that, I am comfortable with a law that protects us from people trying to get their message through by spreading hate towards others due to race or religion.
You are confused Claus. There is nothing protective at all about those laws. They are RESTRICTIVE. I feel sorry for you if you think it is OK for any government to dictate what you are allowed to say. I also think it is scary as to which situations and to whom these laws are selectively applied.
Do not feel sorry for me, I know the Canadian Government can not dictate what I say or do. But I am aware that If I spread hate through Racism in this Country I am liable to be procsecuted. This is NOT unique to Canada, but in effect in many other countries as well. I do not find it restrictive to my freedom as I am not paranoid but choose to live in a country that stands for promoting equality for all regardless of Colour, Race,religion.
There are MANY things about the way Canada is run I do not agree with. but by large when I compare life in North America to Europe (I have lived in Denmark,Gernmany and the Netherlands) I count my blessings.
