Hate speech on Canadian government website (from our bulging “Oh, But That’s Different” files)

The Guy Who Is Suing Us has won (sort of) another case against someone else.

What gets me is that this Government of Canada website (note the famous wordmark) has all the details of this “hate speech” case, including transcripts of the actual “hate speech” in question.

So: writing this stuff is a crime when it appears at some dumbass little neo-Nazi chat room nobody ever heard of until the Government of Canada and a major news service reported on it… (Hey, where have I heard that before?)

But: when this same stuff appears on a taxpayer supported Government of Canada website, innocent readers are somehow magically “immune” from its (imaginary) “hateful” effects?

Alas, I’m just a stupid, ordinary person, and not a liberal Trudeaupian Establishment lawyer — please explain the subtle alchemy involved.

Anyway, the Guy Who Is Suing Us read some stuff into evidence that he finds objectionable.

And the Government of Canada duly reprinted it all.

Funny: some of this sounds like a typical conversation at my house (and probably yours, too, if you’re a fan of my blog):

Muslim society looks to us and sees a land of thieves, murderers, sexual deviants a culture obsessed with the material world.
