Frankly, it's been long suggested by the government to do that. I would not be surprised if they did as well.

In Canada, our freedom of expression is limited by whatever the Government deems appropriate:

> Freedom of expression in Canada is protected as a "fundamental freedom" by Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Charter also permits the government to enforce "reasonable" limits.

Unfortunately, there is not much guidelines these days on what "reasonable" is considered. I like to hope it would not be abused...

Is hyperbole constructive?

The same could be said for the United States or really just about any other country, as there are restrictions on free speech here (think "fighting words," etc.)

In Canada, what the government deems appropriate is under a version of the Sword of Damocles known as the electorate. A government can lose confidence of the house at any time in the way we know it. We can start to see this with a polarized cabinet in Alberta right now.

If we continue to teach good civics and encourage people promise no safe votes to politicians, they won't make reasonable limits unreasonable.
