From Lionel Moser, regarding the statute under which Zundel was convicted:

I remember reading a Toronto Star article a couple of months ago that
gave the origins of this law as, I believe, the protection of the
Crown and its agents from rabble-rousers.  I could also see it used
to prosecute someone who yells "Fire!" in a theatre.  It is far from
clear that it was intended to apply to Zundel.
