Canada has laws in place that disallow the promotion of hatred that will incite violence against a group. I kinda wish it was here but the nature of US society and history will prevent this kind of law from ever existing here.
Thanks for posting this. I actually was researching the differences too, and I am not too fond of the I-can-say-whatever-I-want-it's-free-speech(!) approach of the USA.

Here's another link if anyone is interested that outlines some of the differences b/w a few countries (USA, Canada, UK, Sweden, Brazil).
