I don't support hate crime laws, but I was asking Solon about how they are applied in Canada. Do you have any information about prosecutions under these laws in Canada?

There's a vast difference between hate crimes, which are illegal in both the US and Canada and should be, and hate speech, which is legal in the US but illegal in Canada.
