It depends on the situation. Our freedom of speech laws are almost identical. The main difference is that we do not allow anything that promotes the harming of or taking away the rights of any other person or group. You're allowed to say you don't like gay people - but you aren't allowed to do anything that would impact the rights and freedoms of gay people. For example -the Westboro Baptist Church is considered a hate group and is not allowed to enter Canada. Every time they try they get turned away at the border.

Since gay marriage is legal and gay rights are now assured under our charter then yes - a site like that would be considered a hate group. Facebook is American so I guess they just block it here and you can see it there.

If the onemillionmoms website had originated in Canada we would be able to get it shut down.
