Canada could soon drop its religious-belief exemption from its hate speech laws, as part of a Liberal–Bloc deal to pass the government's anti-hate bill. Joanna Baron, executive director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, discusses what the change could mean and why critics insist it threatens freedom of expression and protections for people simply expressing their beliefs.
