However, Doug Collins has never been prosecuted under the Hate Propaganda law, and never will be. At the time of the debate, he had been prosecuted once under the British Columbia Provincial Human Rights Act, and was about to be prosecuted under the same BC Act a second time. You think this is fitting, whereas Collins and McConchie disagree. There are a bunch of missing words. A lack of intention to violate this provision is no defense.
Truth is no defense.
The fact that what you may have published is in the public interest is no defense. The fact of good faith opinion is no defense. The fact that it's a publication for a genuine academic purpose is no defense. This law says it's a violation of the law to publish the truth. This law says it's a violation of the law to publish something that's for the public benefit.
