You’re grossly misinformed. Advocating genocide is already a crime in Canada. This just makes it more explicit in an online context since the laws around this were created pre-internet.

And given that this is a law that has existed for literally decades, can you cite a single example of where it has been misused to stifle free-speech?

Name one.

(That’s not to say we shouldn’t be keeping a close eye on these things of course, but you’re yelling fire in a theatre where there isn’t even smoke. Give me a break)
