Default Pastor Pete Peters: potential punishment?

I'm wondering if Pastor Peters could face liability in Canada under
their "hate speech" law, which was recently extended to cover sexual
orientation. The law does cover broadcast transmissions. It's
unlikely that he would ever actually become subject to Canadian arrest
(i.e., jurisdiction) by going there, and it might be doubtful that
they'd even acknowledge his broadcasts. However, his "speech" does
reach Canada, and appears to be pretty close to the type of thing they
are getting at, so he could face "technical" liability or possibly
indictment. Anyone know if any speech laws such as this have ever
been applied extraterritorially to SW broadcasters who cross borders?
