Would they be legal in Canada? Like the " a catholic, a jew, etc. walking into the bar" jokes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.184.80.26 ( talk) 18:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
This article is fundamentally flawed. It assumes that anti-discrimination laws are the same as hate speech, which is not the case. Only about four provinces have provisions about hate publications in their human rights laws. However, much of the material in this article would be useful as a general statement of human rights laws and procedures, for the article on Human rights in Canada. I will be working on this article to clarify the hate speech issue, and also move material to the general article on human rights in Canada. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

This web site contains an OCR of the complete book A BAS LA HAINE! by journalist Adrien Arcand, writing in 1965 to oppose the demands of the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) for hate speech laws in Canada:

Arcand's book is also now in English for the first time as DOWN WITH HATE!.
The ebook web site is also being enriched with historically relevant materials, including Appendixes with extracts from Hansard, the Congressional Record, other book reviews, and a recitation on video of highlights from DOWN WITH HATE! in English, all for starters.
Help yourself to the source and fix up your page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.177.106.102 ( talk) 01:51, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
I've reverted a series of changes made to the citations by another editor, because they were not constructive:
While some of the other changes made sense, I don't have time or energy to go through and fix the majority which are wrong, so I've just reverted the whole thing. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 12:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
