For Now. . .

Professor Leone suggested going at this blogging project with some sort of a theme, or from a particular slant. As such, I'm considering devoting my blog to a discussion on the status of freedom of expression and freedom of the press in Canada. I find myself seriously troubled by the recent flurry of attacks on these essential tenets of a healthy democracy, and I would be interested to hear whether others share my concern. On that note, I've posted links to two other blogs: that of Ezra Levant (Western Standard) and Mike Steyn (Maclean's). I will have more to say about this, but both of these men have faced legal consequences for publishing their thoughts. And, while I disagree with almost EVERYTHING Ezra Levant has to say, I believe in his fundamental right to say it and I appreciate his unwavering position on the importance of free speech in this country.

As I said, I will post more on the stories of these two men, as well as the recent Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) scandal, and other issues which relate to this topic.

Can I do This?

I am entirely sans computer-skills, so if I mangage to fulfill this blogging requirement, it will be one of my greater accomplishments in life!

More to come. . .
