Strongly agree

No

The NDP has a history of advocating for policies that protect marginalized communities and promote inclusivity. They would likely agree that hate speech should not be protected by freedom of speech laws, as it can lead to harm and discrimination against vulnerable groups. For example, in 2017, NDP MP Randall Garrison introduced a motion to condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.
