Who decides what is true? Dissenting views should be available in the public discourse to determine their merit. Forbidding topics under penalty of law is not only draconian, it feeds into the conspiracy.

Canada has freedom of true speech in public.
For example, denying the Holocaust is a crime as well as denying the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
What social purpose is served by hateful lies?

Not seeing the hate. Women are born women and; as biologically weaker, deserve protection. Immigration is needed, illegal immigration gives billions to narco terrorists. Again not seeing hate.

But virtually all extreme right wing ideology is mostly fabricated hate, if not exaggerations.

Not one of these stances is based on hate.

Glad you agree there is a danger in politically controlled speech. The nips would have us post partum abort left handers and jail those that came to their defense. More left handed Americans than gender confused.... think the message they are being sold bull **** is protected speech.Bruce » 19 Sep 2023, 4:09 pm » wrote: ↑ There are about 10% of people born left handed and the right wing Trumptards don’t hate on them.
Lucky they aren’t in Canada where that **** is not tolerated.
