In a hearing convened by Canada’s Alberta Human Rights Tribunal on Monday, the lawyer for an anti-transgender advocate in the small town of Westlock (90 miles north of Edmonton), argued that a flyer distributed by her client calling on residents to protest the installation of a rainbow crosswalk with a trans flag was not hate speech, but an exercise in “free speech.”
“Could it be upsetting? Yes. Could it cause hurt feelings? Yes. But does it cause a person to feel hatred or contempt for trans individuals? We will say the answer to that question is a resounding no,” attorney Allison Pejovic said in opening remarks at the hearing.
If you’re politically active, this law will be used against you.
Only if you spread hate against some people… And yes it is made to avoid politic speach claiming problems are because of the existence of group of people. All you can do is demonstrate that a specific action of that group is bad for society and present evidences of it.
Nah you’re falling for the same broken logic behind the “bible is now hate speech” propaganda.
