Overlay · Hate umbrella

Hate umbrella / identifiable group

The umbrella is how sticker-swap happens without a new speech crime: add a characteristic to the list, or name four harms in one press release, and the same test applies. Official C-9 framing named antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and transphobia together.

Back to overlays

Supported

A bundle, not a single harm. Canada s.319 identifiable group; UK protected characteristics; EU FD listed grounds. Canada C-9 (live 18 July 2026) wrote a statutory definition of ‘hatred’ and added a symbols offence.

The four named harms are not legally identical. Official bundling is Supported. Moral equivalence is Disputed.

The swap mechanism itself.

Creep row

Classification by sector. Live means a quoted instrument. Architecture means the statute already covers the sector. Unproven means no pack.
