Editor of Your Ward News gets 1 year in jail for promoting hatred

The judge did deny a prosecution probation request to bar Sears from publishing Your Ward News. Such a ban would violate the constitutional right to free expression, Blouin said.

I love that the judge defended his right to free expression, but locked him up for him using his right to free expression

So I was just looking at the Canadian court structure, while all the articles just say "Ontario court" and do not specify which one from what I can gather this person can still make at least 1 appeal.

I know nothing about this case or what he published, however I am somewhat familiar with the Mike Ward case:

Personally I would love to see anyone convicted of "speech" crimes on Canada offered Asylum in the US. It would be an excellent way for America to take a stand for a more rational world. Sure a lot of people would flip out, but those facists can go fuck themselves and move to a country that doesn't allow free speech.
