Free Speech and Palestinian Rights

Palestinian rights: Advocates of free speech and Palestinian rights are preparing to fight a change to hate speech laws that they say will silence critics of Israel, according to The Chronicle Herald. The bill would expand the definition of groups that can be the subject of hate propaganda under the Criminal Code. The code now lists people distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation and The change is buried in Bill C-13, the governments proposed cyberbullying law.
