Is it "Hate Speech" if somebody says, "I hate you!"?

Would fewer people be accused of hate speech if they simply said “I just hate the president”, or if they said “I just hate illegal immigrants” or something equally childlike and direct?

If I said “I simply hate the Toronto Maple Leafs” would I get in trouble in Canada?

If this IS hate speech, then it is actually different than what is currently called hate speech in the news etc. So which is the “real” hate speech?

And if it is not hate speech, what is it?
