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.Justice Centre, May 15, 2023: Advocacy against gay sex equated to seeking eradication of gay men in hate speech case at Ontario Court of AppealJustice Centre Document (PDF): Whatcott v The King, Appellant's FactumFree to CareBBC Ethics Guide: Religions and circumcisionCanLII, Dec 18, 1950:  Boucher v.
