It is illegal to verbalize skepticism about the holocaust in Canada. Just as Canada has no first amendment guaranteeing freedom of expression, they have no fourth amendment protecting its citizens from unreasonable search and seizure.
You see anyone who speaks out against homosexuality as a criminal. In order for speech to be free, even things that seem bigoted must be free.

I believe using the N word is pretty stupid and bigoted, but it must be free... It MUST be. Plain and simple.

My problem with it is the grey area. You're using an extreme example: Its wrong to encourage genocide. Sure. I agree. But what about my church, that says homosexuality is a sin. Is this wrong? Some may think so. I don't. I think my church, as an organization, has a free speech right to teach this.
