Original Note:
Wrong or misleading. Digital Safety Commission enforces Bill C-63, not police. Hate speech is already punishable under Criminal Code. C-63 narrows hate speech definition + increases penalties. Bill C-63 targets continuous, not retrospective, hate speech, with fine. https://www.techarp.com/crime/bill-c-63-jail-hate-speech-online/ https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-63/first-reading https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-46/ https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/H-6/FullText.html
