A single person in Airdrie would need to earn $91,464 a year to be considered “comfortable,” according to a September 2, 2025, article in MoneySense.

Justice Minister Sean Fraser said Friday the bill would make it a criminal offence to wilfully promote hate through the use of hate symbols.

That designation would apply to two Nazi symbols — the swastika and the SS bolt — and symbols of designated terrorist entities. The maximum penalty would be two years in prison.
