Politics of Hate

Canadian human rights tribunals and their hate speech provisions are a subject of debate this month largely due to the controversial Supreme Court case of anti-gay activist Bill Whatcott.
Whatcott is accusing human rights tribunals of being unfair. “I don’t see them as judicial or even handed. I want them to lose their ability to censor.” said Whatcott, who was penalized by the Saskatchewan Human Rights Tribunal (SHRT) for hate speech.
