more interesting thoughts on free speech topic, comparing Canada

The extremely limited exceptions to the First Amendment involve speech that is tied to direct and imminent violence and our courts have not found that blasphemy or bigotry qualify. I don't think Canadians are under any such illusion either.

Don't be too sure. We don't have speech enshrined like the US does and we have hate speech laws.
