Stop hate speech/publication in local community's newspaper Nasha Canada
Canada is a multicultural and multinational country that welcomes people from all over the world. Everyone here has rights to be respected and express oneself irrespective of nationality, religion or social group.

Canada and Ontario in particular, has a large number of residents from different
communities who are bringing great benefits to the country by their education,
hard work, and have family values by keeping their mother's tongue, culture and
tradition to their kids, and who deserve to be heard and respected.

Russian speaking community is a community over 400, 000 population that makes a huge contribution to the country. However, there are some individuals and /or organizations that tear apart the community by publishing “hate” messages/publications/articles and directly or indirectly violating human rights of each person being a part of the biggest community in Canada.

The above-mentioned publication not once offended veterans of WWII by “ hate” articles in its editions about the Immortal Regiment that took place every year in Toronto honoring he victory over fascism.

Despite the fact that the newspaper Nasha Canada is published in the Russian language, in every edition it has inappropriate language in the articles and verbally abuses Russian President and indirectly all Russian immigrants in Canada.

The foul language of jokes and citations looks very frustrated and unpleasant in the light of its readers. The newspaper (if it is) does not publish any important news or information for its community, but full of negative contexts about being a Russian or about Russia.

We believe that the the newspaper “Nasha Canada” cannot offend its readers and/or their country of origin and/or use inappropriate language for its readers like our elderly, teenagers and others and should be stopped its publication.

Petition

Re:  To stop a hate speech/messages, disrimination and using inappropriate context in community's newspaper Nasha Canada.

We, the undersigned, hereby agree that local newspaper called “ Nasha Canada” should be closed as a Canadian publication for a number of following reasons:

- Each edition of this newspaper directly or indirectly is violates Human rights, in particular, offends feelings of the  Russians as a nationality  

- The newspaper uses inappropriate, foul language in most articles, mean jokes and etc. for its readers   
   
-Each edition of this newspaper contains inappropriate pictures or/and caricatures     
    
-As a local community’s newspaper, it is does not contain any informative context, news or any other useful information for its community as it should   

- Each publication of this newspaper contains articles full of hatred and aimed against nation ( the Russians)  

“ The federal government of Canada has standards with respect to hate publications in federal laws relating to broadcasting.   In some provinces and territories, human rights legislation creates civil sanctions for hate publications. Those claims are resolved through administrative tribunals or the civil courts, and can involve civil remedies such as damages or injunctive relief.

In some provinces, there are also statutory restrictions on accessing public funds in relation to hate propaganda.
  The federal human rights legislation, the Canadian Human Rights Act, formerly included a civil sanction for transmitting hate message/massages by means of telecommunications facilities under federal jurisdiction. That provision was repealed by a federal statute which was passed in 2013 and came into force in 2014.
