It's really frightening that we're the only country which allows free speech.

As well these laws originally were advocated by B'nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress; mostly these laws have been used to protect the Canadian Jewish Community and prosecute holocaust deniers.
I Offend Thee! I Offend Thee! I Offend Thee!
There. I feel better now. I just love America.
