There is free speech and hate speech, and we don't allow one of them... never have, never will, and that's not Trudeau, that's us being Canadians, being kind, and taking care of each other, and that's what makes us different from Americans.

Bullshit. Its gone far beyond that.

Clearly there's some passion here. Can you elaborate on this? As someone who is not Canadian, I'm not fully in the loop. Are there credible examples of anti-hate-speech laws in Canada being used to prosecute people for things other than hate speech?

This person is just upset because they are a bigot. Check the mod log, it's full of slurs and anti immigration rants.

Nailed it. John_McMurray is another joke of an example of someone on the right.

Elaborate before we all assume things about your reading comprehension.

I don't take orders from people playing dumb.

Okay, so basically you don't know where you are, what you're replying to or what you're trying to say.

Neat.
