A policy resolution passed at the Liberal National Convention was intended to target disinformation, but critics warn it could give the government control over Canadian media outlets. The Liberal government says it would never limit freedom of the press and would not implement the policy.
While most of us would like to believe that Canadians have always stood for the freedom of expression that we enjoy today, the facts tell a different story, particularly with regards to the control of print media. Beginning in the seventeenth century, with the banning of Molière’s Tartuffe in Quebec City, the struggle for literary expression has been ongoing. The works of Balzac, James Joyce, Margaret Laurence, and Margaret Atwood have each seen legal and community challenges in Canada, as have titles by some rather more surprising authors such as Morley Callaghan and W.O. Mitchell.
Maintaining a diversity of voices in school libraries is increasingly under threat, even in Canada. Canadian authors say books have been taken off shelves at school libraries for a variety of reasons — including parental concerns over themes such as sexuality.
