IN CANADA, you can now be fined $70,000 for online hate speech, but in-the-street hate speech against Jews is free!

In a move aimed at curbing the spread of what it terms “online hate,” the Liberal government of Canada has revealed its plan, including hefty fines for online speech and stringent punishment including up to life imprisonment for hate crimes. 

TNC (h/t Marvin W)  The centrepiece of this initiative is the proposed Online Harms Act would raise “the maximum punishments for the four hate propaganda offenses from 5 years to life imprisonment for advocating genocide and from 2 years to 5 years for the others when persecuted by way of indictment.” Among the categories of harmful content identified in the act are materials that incite violent extremism or terrorism, promote violence, or foment hatred.

Anybody will also be able to file complaints against others for “posting hate speech online” that is discriminatory against protected categories such as gender, race, disability and others. 

I wonder how this new Act would affect Toronto’s activist city council, which has been emboldening Jew hatred in the streets for the past 15 years, and has now led to daily anti-Semitic events virtually everyday?

TNC Coun. James Pasternak, a lone wolf who has In trying to put an end to the now almost daily antisemitic events, Coun. James Pasternak asked at council last week that the city manager develop a “policy framework for the management of rallies and protests” that would follow the city’s Human Rights and Anti-Harassment policy.

That 12-page policy dictates that people have a right to be protected from harassment and discrimination in city facilities, parks and on city streets. It highlights such examples of harassment as “frequent angry shouting and regular use of profanity and abusive or violent language, physical, verbal or email threats, intimidation, violent behaviors, name calling and public humiliation.”

In other words, these are the kinds of behaviours – on steroids – that Jews and non-Jews alike have endured from the anti-Israel terrorist sympathizers since Oct. 7.

It is not surprising from this council, which seems to attract more and more activists to run in each election and from a City Hall which has a long history of not dealing with the rising Jew hatred on the streets of Toronto.

Is it any wonder the anti-Israel contingent are out of control with nearly 500 often violent and intimidating protests blocking city streets and squares in the city of Toronto since the atrocities of Oct. 7.

Even the toxic and highly confused Queers for Palestine have risen from the ashes of QuAIA. The blame goes to City Hall and our activist/spineless politicians for allowing Jew hatred to fester.

Somehow Jews and the rabid harassment of the Jewish community doesn’t matter to many of those who’d scream, shout, shriek and take to “X” to call out the slightest act (whether true or not) of anti-black racism, Islamophobia and of course the latest cause, criticism about dangerous gender ideology.
