Canada - Hate Writer Sent to Jail

Canada - In a precedent-setting case, a Two Hills engineer was sent to jail for 16 months for showing what the judge called an "appalling" level of hatred toward Jews on his website.
Crown prosecutor Steven Bilodeau said the case will be a "benchmark" for future cases because it's the first hate-crime conviction in Canada involving Internet postings. "We needed a sentence like this to send a strong message that there's no room in this country for hate like this," Bilodeau said.

Justice Philip Clarke told court he couldn't entertain a conditional sentence in the case because of the total absence of remorse shown by Reni Sentana-Ries, 63. "He does not believe his actions to be illegal, but rather a sharing of truth and hope for society," said Clarke.
Reinhard Mueller, was found guilty by a jury of wilfully promoting hatred for anti-Semitic writings he posted on his website.
On the site, he blamed Jews for everything and that they are lying about the Holocaust. He referred to Jewish people in terms like debauched, subhuman and demons.
