In Canada, our freedom of expression is limited by whatever the Government deems appropriate:
> Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a "fundamental freedom" by Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Charter also permits the government to enforce "reasonable" limits.
Unfortunately, there is not much guidelines these days on what "reasonable" is considered. I like to hope it would not be abused...
Is hyperbole constructive?
If we continue to teach good civics and encourage people promise no safe votes to politicians, they won't make reasonable limits unreasonable.
The same could be said for the United States or really just about any other country, as there are restrictions on free speech here (think "fighting words," etc.)
