..no you won't .

i like there bagels so i will not go in jail

Doesn't Canada already have hate speech laws? How is this anything new?

I'm happy to live in the US where we have most of the 1st. amendment still protecting our rights most of the time

It does. It sounds as if they are talking about using existing law on this, not passing a new one.

A little while ago, the cons amended the hate speech laws to include "national origin". As such, I can say China is a shithole but I can't say the Chinese are bags of shit, legally.

The argument the cons are making is that boycotting Israeli products falls under discriminating against national origin.

This is, of course, a load of shit and isn't gonna stand if it's challenged.

Also worth noting that most of the groups they are taking about, such as the United Church of Canada, only boycott products made in the West Bank. That's a whole other can of worms to be opened.

This is all bark and no bite. Only a tactic in an election year to solidify a key part of their base.

Don't know about you, but the US already includes national origin in anti-discrimination law.

At the same time, the US isn't as restrictive as Canada when it comes to hate speech. Some people like it and some people hate it.

True, and tbh, I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't condone thought police.

You can be against Israeli gov but not against Israeli citizens, just saying
