Great News: A Huge Free Speech Victory In Canada

"Not guilty". 

Excellent.

"The last three years of Greg’s life have been hell, and he won’t ever get them back."

"Despite all this, I am joyful, Greg is joyful, and his sons are joyful. Free speech has won the day, and Greg won’t have to deal with the prospect of months of jail time or heavy fines."

"People opposed to speech rights won’t get the satisfaction of seeing Greg behind bars."

"Most importantly, legal precedent has been established to defend free expression."

"Canada is infamous for its ineffectual provisions for freedom of speech. Establishing the legal default to favour allowing offensive speech is a boon for speech rights in Canada."
