“Police say the man targeted people on social media and promoted hatred against them after an attack in London, Ont., in June, where four members of a family were killed.”

Does that sound like criticism to you? It reads like harassment to me.

I don't know what the man said, only what the authorities reported. This is part of the danger of "hate speech" laws; if speech is deemed dangerous, discourse can be hidden behind public safety concerns and then wholly dismissed. It is then left to those who police speech to determine what is acceptable public discourse and what is not.
