To Stephen Harper and Pierre Poilievre: You Are Playing Dangerous Hate Games

This is a warning, and it’s one that history has already written too many times. The dangerous game you’re playing—coddling hate under the guise of protecting free speech, and fostering policies that ignore the rise of extremism—borders on something far more sinister. By repealing Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, you’ve not just defended speech; you’ve opened the door for hate speech, radicalization, and violence. This is not about free speech anymore; this is about allowing hate to fester and spread.

Let’s not mince words—when you allow neo-Nazi propaganda and far-right extremism to thrive unchecked, you are playing with genocidal intent. History has shown that words and ideologies lead to action. When hate is allowed to organize, it inevitably leads to violence, and when leaders fail to stop it, they are complicit in the outcomes.

Get checked, Harper and Poilievre. You’ve ignored the very real consequences of your policies, and now we are seeing Nazism and hate grow right under our noses. The dangerous rhetoric of the far right, which you have failed to condemn, is not just a political matter—it is a threat to the very lives of marginalized communities across this country.

Take responsibility before it’s too late. We’ve seen what happens when hate goes unchecked, and you cannot afford to be on the wrong side of history. This is a wake-up call: Hate leads to destruction, and the blood will be on the hands of those who allowed it to thrive.
