"It’s not a good place under this administration, at least," said Rogan on his podcast, in conversation with his guest, comedian Sam Morril.

“I can’t be a racist sack of shit and spew hate speech in Canada so I’m not coming!” - a fetid sack of gangrenous anal sphincters.

      Really quality content from a 1-day-old account. Thank you for your insightful contribution and definitely not being yet another troll from the troll farm.

          I would also point out that we already have " public encitment of hatred" as a law, and Canada has set bars or things that something must meet in order to classify. Adding the same crime to online places shouldn’t be that wild.

              Fair enough, but if they wind up misusing the power it won’t be long before someone makes a big stink and brings it to the human rights tribunal claiming they violate due process, and then it will be up to the courts to decide. I’d be surprised if it did, since historically our committees and groups like this tend to do less, rather than more, but it may happen.

              It won’t punish ‘free thinkers’ but it will punish those who have used online spaces as a free space to incite hatred, as it has been defined in Supreme Court hearings, which involves it being hatred targeted towards “any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability.” Based on this definition, it cannot be used against those who hate Trudeau/make jokes about him for things he has or has not done, as he is not distinguished by colour, race, religion, etc.

    There is free speech and hate speech, and we don’t allow one of them… never have, never will, and that’s not Trudeau, that’s us being Canadians, being kind, and taking care of each other, and that’s what makes us different from Americans.

        Clearly there’s some passion here. Can you elaborate on this? As someone who is not Canadian, I’m not fully in the loop. Are there credible examples of anti-hate-speech laws in Canada being used to prosecute people for things other than hate speech?

          This person is just upset because they are a bigot. Check the mod log, it’s full of slurs and anti immigration rants.

            Gee, I wonder why any Canadian of any brains at all would be anti immigration today. What possible reason could there be? A housing crisis before 2 million Hindus showed up the last couple years? 65 percent of Canadians polled are now apparently ignorant racists according to you brainwashed fucks.

    Most of us Canadians never have to worry about hate speech laws Joe, because most of us aren’t running around saying hateful, race baiting, genocidal speech. If you worry about hate speech laws getting you, maybe you’re the one with the issue

      That’s exactly it. It’s always hate speech that those who are braying about free speech are trying to protect.

        You want examples of what exactly? Rogan using hate speech? He’s one of those guys that instead of talking hate speech, he’ll invite a bigot on his show, listen to the bigot being a bigot while Joe goes “that’s interesting… I’ve never thought of it that way”

        In any case I’m commenting on his concern with our hate speech laws, which only hateful bigots are ever concerned about. Is regular folk don’t do that kind of stuff

          So no examples of Joe Rogan being hateful, race baiting or genocidal speech.

          You guys dislike him because he will talk to anyone, even people you disagree with if I’m reading things right.
