Whatcott : 
Canadian Hate Speech Laws Live to Fight Another Day

February 27, 2013
The Supreme Court of Canada released its much-anticipated decision in Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission v Whatcott today (they are all “much-anticipated” but this decision was on reserve for 16 months, a long time for the Supreme Court).
