Do you think Canada should have a "free speech" amendment inserted into their Constitution?

Question

I read this very interesting article in the New York Times a few days ago:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/12/us/12hate.html?scp=1&sq=free+speech+Canada&st=nyt

And it got me thinking, should Canada have such a Free Speech Amendment as well?

What do Canadians think about it?

Answer 1

It is already included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, under section 2(b).

Answer 2

Actually freedom of speech is limited in Canada. Google hate speech and Canada and you will find how the Canadian gov't limits free speech in Canada.

It's a shame. Free speech is one of the most basic human rights and it's very limited in Canada.

Answer 3

h**l yea

Answer 4

Don't need it.

Answer 5

I think we are doing just fine without adopting any american policies......................I don't see why we need more laws to protect those who like to speak out in hatred in public.
