"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1622767\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes, but as the tribunal judges both recently concluded, the very narrow approval to section 13 given by Chief Justice Dickson is not what's going on at the moment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1622768\" data-originallang=\"en\">Now, I disagreed with that Supreme Court decision at the time because it seemed perfectly obvious to me that, just in the way of things, it would expand, and what he claimed was the very narrow, specific approval that he gave the Canadian state to restrict speech.... Eventually all these other barnacles encrust to it, and the thing expands. I don't believe Justice Dickson would support that ruling today.</p>",

Avec le temps, toutes sortes de choses finissent par s\u2019incruster et l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation s\u2019\u00e9largit.
