I’ve read this several times, and I’ve yet to see what the actual crime is. Maybe because it’s in Canada, and their ways are strange.

Poster in East York being investigated as hate crime

You can see the complete “poster” (actually just a single sheet of standard printer paper stuck to a pole) HERE. I *defy* you to say what the crime is, beyond the act of posting political tracts.

It asks some questions, none of which pose any sort of threat. It then invites people to “join the Alt-Right,” and lists some websites, none of which I’ve ever heard of. Now, even if these websites are for organizations as racist as Stormfront, the KKK or the DNC, simply inviting people to view the sites is hardly any sort of crime. It invites no criminal act, it does not call for violence.

So, again, what’s the crime? Is it just that things have gotten so bad in Canada that opinions are illegal?
