Off color jokes?

Would they be legal in Canada? Like the " a catholic, a jew, etc. walking into the bar" jokes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.184.80.26 (talk) 18:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bump. Would off-color jokes be considered hate speech? Have any comedians been arrested in Canada for hate speech?67.54.192.52 (talk) 03:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jokes about English and French-speaking Canadians are not only illegal, but are part of Canada's historical animousity between the two peoples by language such as Quebec separatism and the sense of alienation by French-Canadians throughout the country's history. + 71.102.11.193 (talk) 03:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a more recent case, a Canadian comedian was dragged before a misnamed "Human Rights Commission" because he directed lesbian jokes at two lesbian hecklers. And no, I am not making this up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.155.184 (talk) 03:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fundamentally flawed article

This article is fundamentally flawed. It assumes that anti-discrimination laws are the same as hate speech, which is not the case. Only about four provinces have provisions about hate publications in their human rights laws. However, much of the material in this article would be useful as a general statement of human rights laws and procedures, for the article on Human rights in Canada. I will be working on this article to clarify the hate speech issue, and also move material to the general article on human rights in Canada. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 14:56, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
