at Wendy McElroy's request

Wendy McElroy is another one of my heroes.

(What is this, man?! You only have heroes who are blacks or women or Jewish or anything other than straight white Christian-descended males? Are you some sort of bigot?!)

((Actually, I hope someday to be my own straight white male hero.))

Anyway, McElroy asks for a favor and I jump to do the favor, even before I grasp all the details ...

A Request from Wendy McElroy

Posted by Wendy McElroy at April 6, 2005 12:51 PM

John Tabin's most recent article in "The American Spectator" opens with the words, "If you're a Canadian, be advised: Your government doesn't want you to know what lies herein. If you're a blogger in Canada, you may actually get in legal trouble for linking to this column." The caution is not hyperbolic. Canadian bloggers are actually being charged with contempt of court for linking to American blog sites that discuss the Adscam scandal. Accordingly, I have a request to make of all non-Canadian bloggers. Essentially it is the same request beamed out by another Canadian blogger Colby Cosh who writes, "it would actively help free the hands of Canadian webloggers and reporters if our foreign cousins were to be aggressive about 'publishing' the substance of the Brault testimony outside the reach of Canadian law."
