“Every person who advocates or promotes genocide is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.”
“Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.”
Look at the text of the bill for yourself. https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-63/first-reading
Just ctrl-f for prison
I’ve read the bill. There are ZERO passages that indicate life sentences for ‘speech crimes’

“Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.”
This IN NO WAY stops free speech or freedom of expression. Nazis should be punished PERIOD. And not advocating genocide should be EASY AS FUCK to do.
The only people opposed to this legislation are actual Nazis. LMAO
Or you know, anyone who has ever opened a history book.
No. History tells us that we need to confront fascism – which is what this legislation absolutely does.
Can you even properly define and identify fascism?
You can confront it without curtailing the freedom of speech.
This legislation does nothing of the sort.
