The attorney had yet to hear from his client as of late Friday morning. “(What stands out in the decision) is the importance of liberty, the liberty of expression — to say unpopular things. Also, the freedom from excessive surveillance from (Quebec’s) Human Rights Tribunal.
They are limited to discrimination. They cannot turn themselves into (Quebec’s) Superior Court. It is a more restrictive, but therefore stronger view of what is human dignity. It can’t be everything. Because if everything is dignity, then you can’t say anything.”
