    I know that speech protections are not exactly maximalist in Canada, but surely this can't be compatible with the charter?

      the other part about canada is that quebec didnt sign on to the canadian constitution, so its only the quebec charter, which is a law like any other

        now thats news to me, I need to look into that

        is there appeals to national courts there

        edit: after looking into it, this seems embellished and laymen level of legal understanding that I see everywhere. I wanted to believe though! There seems to be no functional difference for Quebec as a province in Canada compared to others, despite some nuance.
