MPs of all stripes criticize free speech bill

I have a new story on the main page of Xtra.ca today, which looks at the new Private Member's Bill aiming to repeal the hate speech provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act. It's a particular story that I've followed in various iterations for the past couple of parliaments, and not it's until now that it's coming up in a particular form that may actually have a chance of advancing. I'm sorry that Mr. Storseth denied the interview request, but a chance encounter with Senator Nancy Ruth helped to give the story its final shape, which was a nice bit of happenstance.
