Canada's hate-speech laws have been upheld in the Supreme Court as a reasonable limit on freedom of expression.

The Court recently ruled that flyers distributed by Bill Whatcott of Saskatchewan promoted hatred against gays and lesbians. He was ordered to pay $17,500 to people who complained about the flyers.
