I view limiting speech as being the same as banning or burning books. The end to democracy.

Like why I disagree with "hate crimes"? They are so silly. The crime is the assault or the murder. If a straight person beats on a gay person he/she gets charged with a hate crime. What if a gay person beats on a straight person? Our laws are f**ked up!


Didn't realize you are religious!

You either have "Free Speech" or you do not. Canada does NOT have "Free Speech", it limits your speech to what is considered to be politically correct.

Yes, technically he was not sent to jail for what he said, he was sent to jail for violating a Judges order. BUT, that order limited his right to "Free Speech".

I find people like this Neo-Nazi to be vile and horrible, but I would support their right to freely express whatever they wish, so long as they are not inciting to violence.

It is FAR better that people like this be allowed to express their sickness, than to bottle it up, and encourage them to actually act it out. Limiting their speech just drives them underground, increasing their chances of becoming violent in the future.

Agree with this comment This case is a waste of tax dollars. Human rights tribunals should be abolished.

A Regina man convicted of contempt of court in connection with posting racist messages online has lost his latest appeal.

Terry Tremaine, a former University of Saskatchewan math instructor, had his appeal dismissed Tuesday by the Federal Court of Appeal.

Tremaine's lawyer, Andrew Hitchcock, told CBC News that Tremaine will turn himself in to authorities and will begin serving his 30-day jail sentence.

Hitchcock said a decision whether or not to try to appeal to the Supreme Court hasn't been made yet.

Tremaine has been in and out of courtrooms for years after posting online messages that disparaged Jews, blacks and other minorities.

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ordered him to stop, and when he refused, he was charged with contempt.

He was convicted and sentenced in 2012 to serve a minimum of 30 days in jail, with another six months added if he violated conditions set by the judge.

Where are you going?

"The theme of Mr. Tremaine's messages was that Jews, blacks and other non-whites are destroying Canada and they should either be deported or segregated,"

He sounds just like Prime Minister Borden. Did he do time? No. He got on the 100 dollar bill.

So basically he is going to jail for not obeying the ruling of a Kangaroo court, not for breaking any laws. And still sucking on the taxpayer ***.

OMG I've used that term 'liar' several times in the past on this board, yikes.

30 days in the cooler, the homeless now have a cure for cold weather. Do you just walk up and turn yourself in?

I gave crime up when I was 15, I'd hate to think I passed up all that cash just to go that route in the end? Course there is a new 5,000 bed remand opening up soon and it has broadband. Wonder if they have a 'Come early Special'.
I'm pretty sure a brick brings out the guns these days and the paperwork is less time consuming than mending a sprained finger, your call.

Personally, I like to keep racist lunatics out in the light of day, where I can watch them.
Like being right in the middle type of watching? That called being part of the same crowd you self-confessed degenerate?
