That sign wouldn't be permitted to remain up for long in Maple Leaf Land (I would hope).
We'll, down here we have something of a long-standing attraction to the idea that the government shouldn't be in the business of telling people what they can or can't say. We like the idea so much that we put in our Constitution, so that it's clear that the government does not have legal power to tell us what we can or can't say.
