I'm honestly okay with that, as the standard is:

Hate speech provisions only apply to expressions that rise to the high level of “detestation” or “vilification” as previously described in R. v. Keegstra and Canada (Human Rights Commission) v. Taylor. Therefore, these provisions do not capture offensive expressions that fail to arise to “detestation” or “vilification”.
