The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal announced, today, that two white supremacists had been using Web sites to spread hatred toward African-Canadians and Jewish citizens (one had hosted the content). An order to cease hatemongering was issued, in addition to levying $13 000 on the men, and awarding $5 000 to the complainant.
The Web sites-in-question were shut down nearly four years ago, when they were reported to law enforcement agencies in Toronto; this is the first time that a Web-hosting service has been held accountable, by law, for messages of hatred. The Web site also contained defamatory content intended to insult Sikhs, Muslims and other minorities.
Among the forty-eight page ruling, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal expressed the opinion that "[the] material found on the tri-cityskins.com website is likely to expose persons who are non-Christian or non-Caucasian to hatred or contempt."
