The Other Side of the Moon Report

We blogged yesterday about the Report that Professor Moon made to the Canadian Human Rights Commission [1] on whether hate speech on the web should be regulated by the CHRC or handled differently.

The Canadian Jewish Congress has issued a strong statement of dissent [2], quoting Mark Freiman [3] of Mccarthy Tétrault. [Mark had done a commentar [4]y on the earlier CHRC ruling.] Here is the Globe op-ed piece by Mark [5] as well as a CBC discussion [6].

If, as we suggested yesterday, the issue goes to the Commons Justice Committee – we can expect a spirited debate.
