What leftists are saying is that telling a certain group that their activities are wrong and need changing is practicing "hate."
By that "logic," leftist protesters should be prosecuted for hate crimes for showing up at right-wing rallies and/or confronting conservative pols. They're certainly far more hateful than the religious people who sincerely want to save souls.
Naturally, leftists can't see the contradiction in their fascist attitudes because their pet groups are "protected" groups who can't be criticized for any reason.
Canada now joins Britain and a number of other western countries in the march towards full fascism.
"Agree with us, or we'll throw you in prison." Stalin wouldn't have done it any different.
