That was the Week That Was. Coast to coast coverage. Plus long interviews with the Christian Science Monitor and The Daily Telegraph.  Perhaps Canada will wake up to the fact that the forces of censorship are a bit more dangerous than I am.

The Globe & Mail put the story on its front page [after my prosecution under the Human Rights Act was announced] and published an editorial headed “B.C.’s Gag Law,” in which it stated:

“The quality of his views is not the issue; his right to express them is. It is an inherent right. This presumptuous B.C. Legislation should be struck down by the courts….”.
