Abstract:
Describes the activities of three Canadians - James Keegstra, Malcolm Ross, and Ernst Zundel - who propagate, in the classroom, in the mass media and in publications, neo-Nazi views including the allegation of a Jewish world conspiracy and Holocaust denial. Zundel also runs a publishing house, Samisdat, which spreads antisemitic hate literature worldwide. All three were tried, were repeatedly convicted, and repeatedly appealed. The Supreme Court declared the law by which Zundel was convicted unconstitutional and acquitted him. Argues that the right to freedom of expression needs to be limited in cases when that freedom violates the rights of others. Points to laws on which a prosecution could be based in such cases.
