{"title":"Civil Law Alternatives in the Fight Against Hate Speech: The Case Study of the Marcus Hyman Act","authors":"Kenneth Grad","doi":"10.25071/1916-0925.40263","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25071/1916-0925.40263","url":null,"abstract":"The difficult question of how to hold hatemongers legally accountable has lately taken on greater urgency as hate speech has risen to disturbing levels. In the fight against harmful speech, Canada is heavily reliant on the criminal law. An alternative legal remedy might be provided through civil actions for group defamation. Such lawsuits are currently permitted only in Manitoba. The Manitoba legislation was enacted in the 1930s through the efforts of Jewish MLA Marcus Hyman as a means for combating the fascist Canadian Nationalist Party headed by William Whittaker. This article provides a history of the Marcus Hyman Act. The Hyman Act has been discussed in several works but none of these sources offers a comprehensive analysis of the legislation’s origins and history. This article fills this gap. While historians have suggested that the Hyman Act—and its subsequent invocation in a lawsuit against Whittaker brought by William Tobias—was inconsequential, in fact it represented an important victory against antisemitism in the 1930s. Although it has fallen into disuse, the legislation’s history indicates that it could provide a useful mechanism for countering racism in the present day.L’enjeu difficile concernant les moyens pour tenir les semeurs de haine légalement responsables a récemment pris une importance accrue, car les discours haineux ont atteint des niveaux inquiétants. Dans la lutte contre ces types de discours, le Canada s’appuie fortement sur le droit pénal. Un autre recours juridique pourrait être fourni par des actions civiles pour diffamation collective, de telles poursuites n’étant actuellement autorisées qu’au Manitoba. La législation manitobaine a été promulguée dans les années 1930 grâce aux efforts du député juif Marcus Hyman comme moyen de lutter contre le parti nationaliste canadien fasciste dirigé par William Whittaker. Cet article présente l’historique de la Loi Marcus Hyman. La loi Hyman a été abordée dans plusieurs ouvrages, mais aucune de ces sources ne propose une analyse complète des origines et de l’histoire de la législation. Cet article comble cette lacune. Alors que les historiens ont suggéré que la loi Hyman — et son invocation ultérieure dans un procès contre Whittaker intenté par William Tobias — était sans conséquence, elle a en fait représenté une victoire importante contre l’antisémitisme dans les années 1930. Bien qu’elle soit tombée en désuétude, l’histoire de cette législation indique qu’elle pourrait constituer un mécanisme utile pour contrer le racisme de nos jours.","PeriodicalId":393921,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121839933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Leib Malach’s Montreal Travelogue, 1930","authors":"Zachary Baker","doi":"10.25071/1916-0925.40265","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25071/1916-0925.40265","url":null,"abstract":"In mid-1930, the Yiddish novelist, playwright, poet, journalist, and world traveller Leib Malach visited Montreal to attend the dedication of a new home for the Jewish Public Library. He then sent the Buenos Aires Yiddish daily Di Prese a three-part travelogue devoted to: Social, cultural, and linguistic conditions in Montreal and the Province of Quebec; the Jewish School Question in Montreal; and Yiddish culture in Montreal. By making implicit comparisons between the two deeply Catholic, but very different societies of Argentina and Quebec, Malach’s travelogue held up a mirror to his intended readership in South America. Quebec’s proximity to the United States and Canada’s status as a British Dominion suggested one point of contrast with Argentina. The long-festering Jewish School Question crystallized the colliding issues of religious confession, public policy, and provincial and internal Jewish community politics in Quebec, which lacked obvious parallels in Argentina. Descriptions of the Yiddish cultural milieu of Montreal offered oblique comparisons with conditions prevailing in the larger Yiddish-speaking community of Buenos Aires. This essay thus attempts to situate Malach’s Montreal travelogue within the frameworks of Canadian and Latin American Jewish Studies, along with transnational Yiddish Studies.En 1930, le romancier, dramaturge, poète, journaliste et globe-trotter yiddish LeibMalach s’est rendu à Montréal pour assister à l’inauguration de la nouvelle bibliothèque publique juive. Il a ensuite envoyé au quotidien yiddish Di Prese de Buenos Aires un récit de voyage en trois parties consacrées aux conditions sociales, culturelles et linguistiques à Montréal et dans la province de Québec, à la question des écoles juives à Montréal, et à la culture yiddish à Montréal. En établissant des comparaisons implicites entre les deux sociétés profondément catholiques, mais très différentes, de l’Argentine et du Québec, le carnet de voyage de Malach tendait un miroir à ses lecteurs d’Amérique du Sud. La proximité du Québec avec les ÉtatsUnis et le statut du Canada en tant que dominion britannique suggèrent un point de contraste avec l’Argentine. La question de l’éducation juive, qui perdure depuis longtemps, cristallise les enjeux de la confession religieuse, de la politique publique et de la politique provinciale et interne de la communauté juive au Québec, qui n’ont pas de parallèles évidents en Argentine. Les descriptions du milieu culturel yiddish de Montréal offraient des comparaisons indirectes avec les conditions prévalant dans la grande communauté yiddishophone de Buenos Aires. Cet essai tente donc de situer le récit de voyage de Malach à Montréal dans le cadre des études juives canadiennes et latino-américaines, ainsi que des études yiddish transnationales.","PeriodicalId":393921,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116055619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
