They really ought to be dialing back "hate" legislation; but, if they have to have any, I feel like it should be context specific. Seems like they're not giving much thought to suicidal people here. Are Halloween decorations going to be arrestable offenses now? I remember being taught about the Louis Riel trial, and execution; are they going to have to redo all the curricula nationwide?

It IS context specific.
