Can this decal get me into actual legal trouble?

In the last 15 years I've been left angry notes, my tires deflated, and I've been keyed. Can someone accuse this as hate speech under the new bill?

I'm sure this is protected under the charter but I just want to say I seriously HATE this hate speech bill. What a load of garbage.

Their sticker is causing others to perform hate-speech on the owner. They're wondering if that would count as per c9.

    If there is no other crime then no, the new crime can only be tacked on to an existing crime. it seems like they are committing vandalism, so perhaps under the new law they could get a charge commensurate to the penalty for vandalism probably not worth the extra lawyering imo.
