a whole different debate, about true freedom of speech, preaching hate of whatever persuasion, should it be allowed?

In Canada we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms which guarantees our right to speak freely. We also have laws against promoting hatred against racial, religious, ethnic, etc. groups. I think that most of us on here know the difference between free speech and the promotion of hate.
And really, it's all about speaking our minds. That's the Lancashire way, isn't it. "Speak thi' mind lad," as my Gran used to say. "And if they don't like it; they can lump it."
