The other thing I wanted to discuss with you was the definition of the word “hatred”. It is very difficult, impossible even, to clearly define the concept in a manner suitable to everyone and all situations. It is always a sensitive subject.
The Supreme Court's teachings on the matter are obviously valuable. The definition of hatred you recommend is the one in Keegstra, which states that the term “connotes emotion of an intense and extreme nature that is clearly associated with vilification and detestation.”
Certainly, “vilification” and “detestation” are perhaps easier to define. Judges would eventually have to determine whether an accused was driven by emotion of an intense and extreme nature—not any old emotion. I don't want to make things up, but it's likely that the decisions reached by those judges will be shockingly conflicting. I actually don't have another definition to recommend. I defer to the wisdom of the Supreme Court justices.
In your view, how careful should we be in trying to define something as personal and subjective as emotion of an intense and extreme nature driving a person's behaviour?
