The legislation refers to "identifiable groups" in those words and it
lists groups identified by ethnicity, race, religion and colour as
examples. But it does not say this is an exhaustive list of protected
groups. Nor does it say that there are identifiable groups which cannot be
targeted with hate messages. For example, it does not say we cannot by law
hate serial murderers. The Acts also protect free speech by saying that
fair comment in the context of political-religious discussion is allowed.
Overall, it seems the PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE prevail in these Acts. For
example, even though garden gnomes and other vertically challenged people
are not given explicit protection by the Acts, a campaign of hate and
targeting for destruction against the vertically challenged in Canada
could be prosecuted under this legislation; or the current campaign of
hate which the present BC Government has targeted on poor people. This
list does not want to hear our local political-judicial issues but we may
have proof by Olympics 2010 that the Campbell Government has killed more
innocent citizens than any serial killer in North American history. It
will then receive the attention of the world.
Just follow the links from Campbell's Olympic Gold for Serial Murder on
POC's home page. The proof will be in the facts which we have by 2010.
