Hate speech

Menu

In Canada 

Sponsored link.

For Americans:

Canadians do not have the degree of freedom of speech as persons in the United States enjoy. Legislation in Canada follows the British tradition, as do laws in Australia, New Zealand and some other former colonies. In particular, with a few exceptions, citizens are not allowed to incite or promote hatred, or advocate or promote genocide against certain specified groups.

Topics covered in this section:

bulletStatus of free speech. Hate Propaganda in the Criminal Code of Canada
 
bulletReligious hate speech. Cases involving religiously motivated hate speech
 
bulletBill C-250: Adding sexual orientation as a protected class
  1. Misinformation, opposition, House of Commons vote
     
  2. Reactions to the vote in the House. Senate vote.
     
  3. C-250 signed. Reactions by religious conservatives
     
  4. More reactions

Legal note:

This section is intended to give an overview of hate propaganda legislation in Canada to a popular audience. It is based on the Criminal Code as it exists on 2009-AUG. The law changes with time. For specific guidance, we recommend that you obtain an interpretation from a qualified lawyer. Do not rely on these essays to make personal decisions.
