The biggest fear people have about this law is that it may be used too much,
and against the wrong people by the Crown.
In fact, this law wouldn't bother me at all if there were clear & distinct
safeguards against gov't misuse.

What I would propose is a limitation on the law that says the gov't cannot
actively pursue a case. Cases could only be prosecuted by private citizens,
with the crown footing the bill. This also requires that there be some kind 
of filter mechanism to keep some idiots from bringing a case every 5 minutes,
but to my mind, this would be much safer than what seems to be the current
system.

West Germany has a system whereby the Holocaust is a constitutional fact...
I've heard that people are put in jail there for denying it. How does their
system work ??
Maybe we should modify/adopt it.
