Sounds like a whole lot of B.S. to me.
First off, The Canadian Government wouldn't post crap like that on a web site, If the crown decided to drag you into court on a charge of hate crime, they would arrest the owner and serve them in person. Those charges would be specified, ie. what laws and sections of law were violated.

Second, unlike the USA, the "offended person" isn't the one who decides if charges are laid or not laid. it is the sole decision of the crown attorney. They cannot offer an out of court settlement. That alone tells me this is B.S.

Third, the crown does not pursue damages for the offended party, they only uphold the law, and prosecute violations of it without any intent to compensate the "offended" or victim for damages. They would have to seek damages in a civil court, much like in the USA, but is hard to do in Canada.

So, if someone is threatening Free Dominion with legal action other than the Canadian courts, it's all B.S. Unlike the USA, it's very hard to sue anyone in Canada. They've had torte reform ages ago, where we still have to put a stop to sue crazy people in the USA.

Well, if any Canucks are up this late, I'm with you!
(As well as a gazillion other Freepers, you can count on that)

I can't get into the FD site, I haven't tried to post there in a couple of years, and it won't accept my name and password.

Actually I hope this is real. No time like the present to stand up to intimidation, whether directly or by "borrowing" the power of big-brother government.

I wonder who the best canuck conservative defense attorney is?

I think it is tort not torte. A torte is a type of pastry.

I don't think the Canadian government posted from an FD administrative account. Read the post. :-)
