It's not so much laws. Nobody's really proposing any changes in law, although the expansion of the scope of the human rights tribunals is an issue (recently fined a comedian $42,000 for an offensive joke).

Generally, there's a growing willingness to simply take speech on certain topics away from ourselves, largely by pressuring private entities that currently provide the broadest means for public interaction (twitter, facebook, youtube) to censor things people don't like or agree with.
