S04E23 Lowering the Bar for Hate Speech?
Lawyer Marty Moore outlines an important hate speech case going before the Ontario Court of Appeal on June 21. The Crown is arguing that the trial judge, who acquitted protestor Bill Whatcott, makes it too hard to convict Canadians who express their opinions about sexual behaviour they disagree with. The Justice Centre represents an intervenor who argues that criticizing sexual behaviour is not the same as advocating for genocide.
