Christopher Hitchens on Free Speech and Freedom of Expression

This speech is from a debate at Hart House, University of Toronto. Christopher Hitchens' speech is in favor of decriminalizing hate speech, and why that free speech must include hate speech. The debate (and lecture by Hitchens), which included members from Canada’s government, was a bill, then in discussions, regarding the decriminalization of hate speech, insofar as it is protected speech irrespective of its reprehensibility.
