Hate crimes in Toronto ‘the likes of which we have never seen’

So much hate out there. So much hurt out there.

Which are not the same thing. The law can’t prevent anyone from saying hurtful things, words that cut to the bone, and that is how it must be in a democracy that enshrines free speech. But a lot easier said when the invective isn’t aimed at you. When it is targeted, instead, at gays and Muslims and, most commonly over these past many weeks since the massacre raids by Hamas into Israel, at Jews.
