Hate speech isn't protected speech in either of our countries - which has been pointed out to you many times, most recently in my last post. Profiting from hate speech, or fundraising for terrorism....for that matter, isn't covered by any right. If you want to know why the proud boys can sell merch in the us but not...say..al qaeda, that has to do with a novelty in how the us designates (or, rather..fails to designate) terror organizations. In particular, we don't do it to domestics...because then we couldn't call all these white supremacist kooks lone wolves. We have a vested interest in this, historically. Canada also gets funny about their own laws sometimes. They fail to designate the us a state sponsor of terror, for example.
But let's cut to the chase, shall we? Let's just imagine, for shits and giggles, that what you've come to genuinely believe is true. No need to label it. The government is abrogating the rights of it's people. What are you going to do about it?
Here's just one example of the government of Canada, as you put it, not abrogating the rights of its' people.

Now, you probably agree that Canadians should lose those rights because of course you would, but you are living in a fantasy world by pretending that rights are not disappearing.
What am I going to do about it? Do you work for the FBI or something? What are you going to do about cops looking for people with the wrong plate so they can kill them over that plate? What is Boru going to do about someone supposedly getting killed over Pokemon cards? You have a holocaust of Pokemon fans with Pokemon cards in their hands getting killed for Pokemon by the police. You're just going to stand by and let this happen?
