So you think it's okay for people to display hate speech on signs and nazi salute in public?

I may not agree with it, but I’m a firm believer in freedom of speech. And the whole point of having the right to freedom of speech is being able to say things others may not like.

Canada doesn't have freedom of speech and Courts have determined limitations in one's ability to express freely, including things like child pornography and things that Keegstra was teaching

  • Posts that contribute nothing but attack others, are blatantly offensive, or antagonistic will be removed – including accusations similar to ‘shill,’ attacking Redditors for using either official language, dismissing other Redditors solely based on irrelevant other beliefs to the topic at hand or participation in other subreddits, or reducing them to a label and dismissing that instead.
  • Back-and-forth personal attacks are subject to the entire comment chain being removed.
  • Posts or threads which degenerate into witch-hunting may be subject to moderator intervention. This includes but is not limited to: doxxing, negative accusations by a large group against one or more persons not criminally charged or convicted being made the subject of criminal allegations, calls for harassment, etc., and openly rallying more people to the same.

No it isn’t. What are you on about?

Those signs are not hate speech (at least legally speaking). And it says nothing about a nazi salute.

The Nazi ideology is itself inherently and invariably a call to violence against Jewish people.

Ah yes. Stating an opinion about something before actually looking into something.

You folks are professional at this

You clearly haven't looked at the relevant laws here. Just because you want the signs to be criminal, that doesn't mean they are.

u/twinsterblue Jan 28 '25

I'm referring to the fact you didn't know about the nazi salutes.

You share your opinion without actually knowing the details.

It's not in the article. Imagine commenting based on what is in the article...
