Oh wait... an "elegant way" to go about this that solves the problem of sifting through over 100 articles for relevancy...

We have anti hate speech laws.

The idea of free speech is great, but there are limits. You can’t threaten someone under free speech. You can’t extort them. You can’t spread libel. And you can’t spread hate content that promotes harming people based on their immutable characteristics (race, ethnicity, sexual identity, etc.).

From the article:

"While the book does not contain “a call for outright violence” or “a call for extermination of communities,” Perry said it aims to frame far-right talking points in a more persuasive way than some of the “shock troops” of the movement."

The problem is the book doesn't seem to violate the law. I would love to verify if it actually does or doesn't, but unfortunately the title and author are being censored and I only have this piece of the article to go on.

I’m all for topics being openly discussed, even if I don’t like them. I’m all for criticizing the government, and nobody should fear reprisal in doing so.

Then you shouldn't agree with a person calling the Cops for leaving a book in a little library that you do not agree with. I don't agree with any form of ethnic nationalism either, but forcing those movements further underground obviously doesn't work and calling the Cops for distributing a book that doesn't break a Law is insane.

You cannot refute their points if you don't know what points they have made and it is important to refute those points to stop recruitment efforts. Calling the Cops for a book is literally the best recruitment campaign they could ask for because it supports the victim rhetoric they need desperately to remain "true" in order to succeed.

But hate speech has essentially no merit to society.

Agreed. Which is why hate speech needs to be openly debated, in all of its forms, constantly to make sure everyone stays on the same page and doesn't fall for the trap again regardless of how uncomfortable the conversation is or how repetitive it feels. People cannot learn if they aren't taught.

There should be a follow up for sure, but I doubt there will be any real investigation because the book doesn't seem to break any laws according to the article.

While the book does not contain "a call for outright violence" or "a call for extermination of communities," Perry said it aims to frame far-right talking points in a more persuasive way than some of the "shock troops" of the movement.

Since the book isn't being named I am willing to assume it comes from a modern author, and is available in the average book store, so leaving it in a little library isn't a crime even if it supports an inhumane ideology.

If all Cops are bad, and banning books is wrong, calling the Cops to ban a book is what?

Depends on the protest. Have a miserable weekend.

The lady doth protest to much, methinks.

How is any of this bigotry? I think you are confused, and the downvotes support my conclusion. The French in France are known to rebel, there is a history. Canadian French might be passionate but they are still passive apathetic Canadians like the rest of us in Canada as a whole. Can not see how you find bigotry here. Absolutely ridiculous conclusion.

You are making broad generalizations about entire countries and continents. You have compared the entire population of Canada to the entire population of a continent with numerous countries and ideologies using those broad generalizations, as well as comparing the entire country to a single province with clear cultural differences. There is a history of violence in Quebec as well, which you need to ignore in order to make your prejudiced opinions work.

Hope that helps.

You should inform your opinion further if your only sources are a post on Lemmy, and a single editorial from Post media.

There has not been vast silence about this, and the majority are pushing to "Buy Canadian" from what I have seen. I cannot leave my house without hearing people talk about it and seeing signage in business' pointing out Canadian products.

The majority of Canadian business' have been going out of their way to buy and promote Canadian goods from what I have seen.

Where are you seeing "most Canadian business'" say or do otherwise?

Right over your head eh?

Please show me the stats that proved the RCMP have the same problems (ie: in-custody murders, use of excessive force, etc) in Quebec as they do in the rest of Canada (except ON ofc).

I literally gave you a link directly to the RCMP.

Use that to find what you are looking for, and jog on in the meantime.
