CHRT decision on Lemire

Interesting news yesterday. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal ruled in a case about Marc Lemire and his site, freedomsite.org. Lemire has more or less been acquited: what he wrote himself was (apart from one post) not sufficiently hate-inducing to be penalized. Also, the CHRT finds that the section of the act covering penalties was unconstitutional, which surprises me. More later.
