Mr. Freiman, you and I have had this conversation before. I'm afraid you are not going to be able to convince me; I know I'm not going to be able to convince you.
I want to draw on your theatre analogy. I will agree that all free speech is subject to limits, and I support the laws against liable and slander. I also support the hate provision speeches in section 319 and 320 of the Criminal Code. I further agree with you that it ought to be actionable if someone yells “Fire!” in a crowded theatre. You and I agree on that. Would you agree with me that if the theatre is empty—I'm the only person in the theatre—I should be allowed to yell “Fire!” as loud as I like?
