The police should be enforcing hate speech in the streets, that's the law (yes I know they didn't in this case, & yes that's a bad problem).

Hate speech charges don't exist.

And it's quite onerous for police to lay charges under Section 319 - Public incitement of hatred. It requires documentation, investigation. It takes a long time and has to be approved by a politician, the Attorney General.
Wilful promotion of hatred (online, flyers, etc) likewise.

Hate crimes are only added to other offenses, and definitely should be for Christopher Vanderweide's assault w weapon x2.
Mr. V is a conversion-therapied hate filled violent Christian bigot ... criminal.

But what if an alt-right group gets a permit to have an assembly in a public place, but they've never spoken legal "hate speech" before and aren't doing so during the event, but are saying some very controversial things, like we must lower annual immigration rates etc.  Should protestors be free to drown them out with heckling etc.?  Is that breaking the law by "disturbing the peace" etc since they have a permit?  Is it harassment?

I don't think permits are given to hate groups in Toronto anymore. If so, good move by the Mayor.

Nobody get a permit to protest.
You don't ask permission from government to protest government ... or anybody else. Lol

Hate groups are not a **** parade.

But they love their police escort/security detail.
(Not sure why, because the Mayor/government can't direct the operations of the Police.)
That's not a cheering crowd for their parade, though.
Those are people of faith and strong conviction that Hate groups will not be tolerated in public spaces.

That's democracy in action.
We won't have groups spreading hatred in public spaces.

We're not the violent hateful alt-right criminals.

We're the public, protecting our own spaces from hatred.

I get that it's a challenge for police.

But hate groups put themselves there, in public, knowing that they won't be tolerated.
That's their choice, their problem.

They will be drowned out and chased away.

That's our right, to keep our neighbourhoods free of public hatred.

Police lining up to protect violent hate-filled criminals' 'free hate speech'... standing back to let criminals violently attack TransGendered anarchists, as happened here ...

Not acceptable.
