So much for free speech....

"The federal government in Canada is set to make Holocaust denial and the downplaying of the murder of Jews by the Nazis a criminal offense except in private conversation, reported The Canadian Press.

Language outlawing Holocaust denial will be added to the criminal code in the government budget. The budget will also allocate $5.6 million over five years to support the office of Irwin Cotler, Canada’s special envoy on preserving Holocaust remembrance and combating anti-Semitism.

“Holocaust denial and distortion constitute a cruel assault on memory, truth and justice—an anti-Semitic libel to cover up the worst crime in history—and thereby a cruel and mocking rebuke to Holocaust survivors and their legacy,” stated Cotler."
