…”If I hadn’t read for myself the letters back and forth between the Rebel’s lawyer and the government, I wouldn’t have believed even the NDP were capable of such anti-free speech behaviour.”…

THERE’S YOUR PROBLEM DEAD SMACK ON, BUDS !

LETTER BETWEEN PARTIES. I NEVER KNEW THAT JOURNALISTS NEEDED A LETTER EXPRESSING THE RIGHT TO VIEW ONE’S OPINIONS AS A REPORTER.

IF THAT’S WHAT’S NEEDED, THEN JOURNALISTS ARE INDEED IN TROUBLE.

A COURT HAS ALWAYS DECIDED WHAT IS DEEMED CONSTITUTIONAL IN MATTERS OF PUBLIC INTEREST WHERE OPINIONS ARE CONCERNED.

NOT A LETTER EXPRESSING CONSENT. CERTAINLY NOT A POLITICAL ONE AT THE VERY LEAST.

IF TRULY A REPORTER AND JOURNALIST IS DOING THE PUBLIC A FAVOUR BY WAY OF EXPRESSING BOTH SIDES OF AN ISSUE, THEN I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK A COURT’S OPINION ON MATTERS OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS. NOT A GOVERNMENT’S NOD TO DO YOUR JOB.

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY, IN 21st CENTURY LINGO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND !

DO YOU READ ALL THOSE LITTLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF APPS YOU INSTALL AND THOSE OF ONLINE NEWS PUBLICATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT THOSE ARE ALL IN THE APP AND PUBLICATIONS FAVOR AND I PUSH A LITTLE BUTTON OR CLICK IT DOES NOT MAKE IT LEGALLY RIGHT. NO ONE READS THEM FIRST OF ALL AND NO ONE CARES ENOUGH TO GIVE A HOOT ABOUT THE LEGAL WORDING. BUT IF MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE BREACHED BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO SO, YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THAT THAT IS WHERE THEY WILL LOSE INSTANTLY IN A COURT. I PUSH AND CLICK TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF APPS AND WHATEVER I’M DOING BECAUSE IT’S CONVENIENT, NOT BECAUSE I’M GIVING AWAY MY RIGHTS.

BESIDES, PRIVACY LAWS ARE ENACTED JUST FOR THAT PURPOSE, JUST TO COVER GOVERNMENTS ASSES. YOU DON’T THINK THEY’RE THAT STUPID DO YOU?

I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE AND SO SHOULD JOURNALIST TOO.
