News and Reflections: Keith Henry Letter of June 16th, 2023

6/19/2023

The attached letter is shared with the permission of Keith Henry, President BC Metis Federation and includes the following quotation from Chief Justice Dickson, R v. Keegstra:

“Hatred is predicated on destruction, and hatred against identifiable groups therefore thrives on insensitivity, bigotry and destruction of both the target group and of the values of our society. Hatred in this sense is a most extreme emotion that belies reason; an emotion that, if exercised against members of an identifiable group, implies that those individuals are to be despised, scorned, denied respect and made subject to ill-treatment on the basis of group affiliation."
