Great discussion on the dilemma between tolerating hate vs. chilling speech.

Great discussion! I also listened to the podcast between Brian Lilley and Selina Robinson (recently departed from the BC NDP Cabinet and Caucus) and the following occurs to me: we can never allow politicians in our country to define "hate" nor "human rights" - because, as they are proving so prolifically these days, the politicians are in conflict over the issue - they will ALWAYS pander to voting blocks. Today, on the Jewish vs Muslim question (in politics), politicians don't look for "right and wrong" - they just do basic math... e.g. "there are 6 muslim voters for every 1 jewish voter, therefore the muslims are RIGHT and the jews are WRONG". Then they do things like refusing to acknowledge hate (incitement to violence) when it is actually happening. OR, as happened in my municipality, they label things as hate even when the RCMP says it doesn't meet the threshold.
