Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Canada, hate speech cases can be adjudicated under various legal frameworks, not solely by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. They can involve criminal law under the Criminal Code, which includes provisions against hate propaganda and inciting hatred against identifiable groups, as well as civil remedies under human rights legislation. The requirement to demonstrate that the accused willfully "promotes genocide" is specific to certain criminal charges and does not encompass all hate speech cases.
