New court decision reinforces that there is no public interest in speech that exposes vulnerable groups to hate

Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

<Tee hee!>

    How is calling someone a groomer related to fascism? Or is it just more of a correlation thing?

      they’re not “calling someone a groomer”, they’re specifically calling LGBT people groomers. as in all of them. even if accusing a single person of being a groomer, you need evidence. this is a coordinated hate campaign intended to whip people into a frenzy about a “threat from within taking over our great country”. it’s fascism.

        Hmm, well I’m not sure I agree that there is a big conspiracy or campaign, but I understand the logic.
