Sounds like the business owner has entered the "find out" stage.

Nice!

But I'm sure he'll start a go fund me and grift off other idiots "defending free speech"

    Is that even technically a thing in Canada, from a legal perspective? Genuine curiosity - I’m not familiar with how those kind of laws are written in Canada.

    Oh yeah. We had some nutjobs who were millions in debt turn their ostrich farm into a cash cow after the birds tested positive for bird flu, RFK Jr. even got involved. Then there's Tamara Lich, Jeff Rath and the like.

    But to top them all, there's this mediocre halfwit, former UofT psych Proff, and junkie who wrote a shitty self help book, who made a sizable fortune by being anti-woke and claiming that he was being censored (no one was censoring him) because he got bent out of shape for being asked to respect people's pronouns.

    We have Freedom of Expression.

    Which can be regulated, limited, or outright silenced when it comes to certain things.

    Hate speech is the main limiter as far as it being regulated.

    Eg Technically, it's not illegal to display a Nazi flag.

    It would be illegal to do so if the intent behind it was to degrade or harass or insult etc. an ethnic or visible group.

    Similar to using language.

    I could say i hate all Christians.

    But to promote the hate and call for acts against a group would become illegal.

    Lots of grey areas.
