Most of the Bill is about dragging pedophiles into the light. Part 3 is what we should care about.
Hilariously, it includes calls to detest or vilify of groups as defined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. White people & Christians are such groups. Humiliating and offending groups is fine.
It has an escape clause if you can't delete or block access to the hate speech, so the chans should be exempt but this could result in chans being blocked in Canada because of the largesse of the fines involved.
If you have old content that predate the bill, people can complain about it and seek damages. This does not apply to things you cannot delete or block.
The complainant's identity can be withheld or shared at the commission's whim, but it looks like you can just state, in writing, that you feel threatened and they'll have to conceal it.
They can toss complaints if they feel they aren't warranted, so White people & Christians are back on the menu. They do have to give you a hearing for your complaint if they decide to toss it. They can just decide that it isn't hate speech and deny the hearing at their discretion.
There is an ombudsman that should be contacted at this point.
You can be ordered to pay 20,000 to the complainant and 50,000 more to the government. Plus damages for harm like if they got attacked or I guess if they say they're traumatized.
This is going to be abused, but I hope that all sides inundate this commission with complaints so that it is wiped out. Specifically people whose churches were burned down should take it upon themselves to find people inciting these these things and they should complain. It will grind this commission to a halt and generate bad press for Trudeau and Singh when the uneven treatment is front and center.
