Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
On August 26, 1997, approximately 25 demonstrators marched along a sidewalk in front of a Scarborough motel temporarily housing a group of persons who were awaiting the outcome of their refugee claims. The demonstrators chanted statements like “Gypsies out,” “How do you like Canada now,” and “White power” and some carried placards. The Hate Crimes Unit, with the consent of the Attorney General, charged the Respondents under s. 319(6) of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46. There were two Informations, one under the Young Offenders Act and one under the Criminal Code, charging that:
On or about the 26th day of August, 1997, in the City of Scarborough, in the Toronto Region, and elsewhere in the Province of Ontario, did wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group, to wit Roma, by communicating statements, including the written statements: “Honk if you hate Gypsies”, “Canada is not a Trash Can”, and “Your [sic] a cancer to Canada”, contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada.
The Crown elected to proceed summarily, and, by consent, the evidence in the trial of the adult Respondents was applied to the trial of the two Young Offenders.
Defence counsel elected not to call evidence and submitted in closing arguments that there was no evidence that the Roma are similar to, the same as, or related to Gypsies. The Appellant Crown sought to amend the Information to read “Roma a.k.a. gypsies,” but this application was dismissed. The Crown then asked the trial judge to take judicial notice of the dictionary definitions of Roma, but he declined. Finally, the Crown asked the trial judge to reopen the trial to allow it to call evidence that gypsies are the same as Roma., but this too was refused.
The Respondents were acquitted and the Crown’s subsequent appeals were dismissed.

| 2003-09-23 | Order on motion to leave to intervene, (BY ARBOUR J.) | |
| 2003-09-23 |
Decision on motion for leave to intervene, Arb, Despite the fact that the possibility of allowing interventions on applications for leave to appeal is now explicit in s. 56(a) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada adopted in 2002, such interventions in the leave process are rarely granted (Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Superintendent of Financial Services, et al. (29586) (March 28, 2003); Dutch Industries Ltd. v. Barton No-Till Disk Inc., et al. (29738) (June 24, 2003)). The proposed intervener expands on the first issue raised by the Crown in its application for leave to appeal and stresses its public importance. This is not sufficient to create an exceptional circumstance which would justify granting the intervention in the leave process. The motion is dismissed. The applicant will of course be free to apply for leave to intervene in the appeal, should leave to appeal be granted. Dismissed |

The Respondents were acquitted and the Crown’s subsequent appeals were dismissed.
