CANADA´S BLASPHEMY LAW: There´s no law in Canada that says you have to believe in God, but be careful about what you might say about Him. Section 296(1) of the Criminal Code warns that "Every one who publishes a blasphemous libel is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for two years."
CENSORSHIP IN CANADA
LET US COUNT THE WAYS
What is censorship?
Censorship occurs when a government or its agent (i.e., Ontario Censor Board, Canada Customs, C.R.T.C., etc.) has the legal authority to fine, imprison, or coerce its citizens for saying, printing, or illustrating their opinions or ideas in the peaceful manner of their own choice with their own efforts and property. When governments block access to the materials (i.e., paper, ink, printing presses, broadcast frequencies, etc.) necessary to make such expression of ideas possible, this is also censorship.
How bad is censorship in Canada?
Worse than you think.
Censorship involves much more than simply denying someone the right to read or view "obscene" publications. In fact, censorship in Canada has virtually become a way of life; its acceptance has resulted in an extensive and pervasive effect in every form of communication open to individuals.
But censorship exists only to protect government from the freedom of its citizens. All censorship exists to "protect" some vested interest group or the government itself. Censorship is imposed upon us by our federal government (through provisions in the Criminal Code), the provincial government (through the Ontario Censor Board, now ostensibly renamed the Ontario Film Review Board), and even by municipal governments (through zoning, licensing, and business regulations and taxes aimed specifically at individuals disseminating "unpopular" ideas or opinions).
Censorship is here and is getting much worse at a rate unprecedented in Canadian history.
