I have been remiss in not posting several important CLA/BCLA resolutions that have passed at their respective AGMs in May, one of which is a Resolution on CanWest and Free Speech. This resolution essentially asks that CanWest “withdraw its legal suit against Mordecai Briemberg and the others charged with having produced a parody of The Vancouver Sun in June 2007.” Both BCLA and CLA have written a letter to CanWest asking them to retract the lawsuit (which is a SLAPP).
Of interest perhaps is the recent book (Oct. 2007) written by Marc Edge, called Asper Nation, on the topic of the CanWest empire.
