I’m not against it for the tolerance/intolerence aspect, I’m against it for the potential weaponization.

Could a future government say “woke” speech is hate speech? That’s why I think we need to be careful.

Canada already has laws restricting hate speech, adding a law that adds a very specific definition is not going to lead down a slope more than the current system does.

I don't disagree.
