If that isn't punishing someone what what they say, then I don't know what is.
Charlatan, I agree.

Lebell, I don't know about Canadian law but that could have happened here, as well, under existing law--regardless of hate crime legislation.
The offended parties could just as easily have taken the offending parties through civil legislation and pressed for damages.
Nizzle seems to be referring to criminal sanctions as opposed to civil mediation.
