That's absolutely ludicrous. Anti-hate laws only serve to make people hate the laws. Legislating emotions is quite impossible, not to mention downright scary.
Canada is one of the worst in the Western World--they have all sorts of censorous nonsense on the books and seem almost as bad as Germany. They don't allow certain political stuff like revisionism, etc. even though quite obviously the best answer to revisionism is the very crap they produce. Trying to surpress that viewpoint just makes it all the more powerful.
Pardon my intrusion, but doesn't revisionism allow suppressed people to recover at least some of their history (in the official sense), and since when is it not legitimate to re-investigate anything at all?
