Preface On December 15-16, 2005, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, in cooperation with the Association for Canadian Studies, hosted A Serious Threat: A Conference on Combating Hate on the Internet and Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Hate and, in particular, its manifestation on the Internet pose a serious threat to the social fabric of Canadian society. The Conference provided an opportunity for a small group of stakeholders to come together for a thoughtful discussion on how to combat hate in Canada, with a particular emphasis on section 13 of the Section 13 is a unique provision in Canadian human rights law that gives the CHRC the power to investigate complaints regarding the use of the Internet to transmit hate messages.
