From what I was told from Police here, hate speech isn't actually against the law?

Its protected under the freedom of expression in the charter of rights and freedoms or some such bologna.

I almost got charged with assault after I got into it with a man who went off on a racist rant on some.teenagers who were speaking their native language at a bus stop. Long and short, I could have gotten charged with assault but instead was warned and thats when they told me there's not much they can do about hate speech.
