    This is hateful shit.

    Unfortunately, they have the same argument as Kim Davis for not doing their duty.

    They both refuse to do their duty due to moral concerns.

        In the US, it is. In Canada (assuming this applies to Canada - I don’t know), I don’t know if you want postal workers deciding what is or isn’t hate speech.

        Under US law, there is absolutely no “hate speech” exception to the 1st amendment. This has been ruled on repeatedly.

            …Which is why I specified US. (Yes, I know where NB is.)

            Most of the people here are arguing from a US perspective, esp. since the original source largely reports on US news, and reports on news from a US perspective.

              Fun geographical place names time: there’s also a New Brunswick in New Jersey and a New Brunswick in Indiana, and there’s also a New Jersey in New Brunswick and an Indiana in Ontario. There’s also an Ontario in California. But wait, there’s also a California in Ontario. This is where our geographical journey ends for now.

            I saw the Grumman LLV mail truck in the thumbnail and just assumed US. I had no idea you guys used them too. Neat!
