Holocaust denial is to be outlawed in Canada, in a further effort to stamp out rising antisemitism.

      That’s far from an assumed thing. At least here in the US, the assumed solution to Holocaust denial is more speech as a counter, not to ban it. I like the well protected free speech approach because I think banning Holocaust denial sets a bad precedent. Witness Poland, where the Law and Justice Party has outlawed discussion of any Polish complacency or collaboration in the Holocaust.

        More free speech just allows them to spew their bullshit more, if I trusted the US to actually do their job I would say lock up anyone who’s a nazi and those who outright deny the holocaust.
