Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks as Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Bill Blair, centre, and Blair's parliamentary secretary Joel Lightbound listen at a news conference in Ottawa on Feb. 16, 2021.New legislation on hate speech and hate crimes should make major online companies accountable for their role in the dissemination of illegal or unsavory material on their platforms, activists say.
Effective legislation would need to make the companies responsible, he said, not just the users. “It’s like banning drug use but legalizing drug dealing.” Public Safety Minister Bill Blair said the government has taken previous steps to deal with hate, and additional measures targeting online hate are in the works for the fall. The House of Commons is not scheduled to sit again until September, and a fall election is widely expected.
“It’s not that this legislation falls short, but that more legislation is needed and the second part should have followed the first, and that’s my disappointment.”

Hate speech is not free speech...it's inherently destructive...therefore regulated...therefore rejected...this really isn't that difficult.
They will end up targeting speech they don't agree with.
I hate this article, so can we censor it please?
JustinTrudeau and his liberal_party are covering up their crimes, coverups, conspiracies and corruptions and my family are victims of Liberal scandals

'Hate' has been so broadly defined it now means someone said something I don't like. Justin is a buffoon and his father is rolling in his grave.
