I find Canada's hate speech laws to be a bit of an embarrassment, the amount of free speech we enjoy in our society is an oddity within human history and one of the greatest achievements of western civilization. I don't like seeing people trying to muzzle it.
Nothing kills a bad idea like honest discussion and criticism. If people can't let their bad ideas out, they stay in and fester, I've benefited numerous times where I've tested out a half-baked idea only have to crumble under the scrutiny of the board.
