IN CANADA, A VICTORY FOR ACTUAL HUMAN RIGHTS, instead of just “Human Rights:” Hate speech law unconstitutional: rights tribunal. “The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ruled that Section 13, Canada’s much maligned human rights hate speech law, is an unconstitutional violation of the Charter right to free expression because of its penalty provisions. The decision released this morning by Tribunal chair Athanasios Hadjis appears to strip the Canadian Human Rights Commission of its controversial legal mandate to pursue hate on the Internet, which it has strenuously defended against complaints of censorship.” Excellent news.
