No, and we must entirely repeal Bill C-63 because 'hate speech' is too subjectively defined by whichever political party is in power

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only with strict judicial oversight and a high burden of proof to prevent the weaponization of the justice system against political dissidents

Yes, preventative peace bonds are a proven legal tool to stop stochastic terrorism before online radicalization turns into real-world violence
