So the scandal-ridden, ruling Liberal government issues a media publication ban on hearings that are open to the public. And a blogger in the U.S. gets the details of the testimony and posts them and there is not a thing the Canadian government can do about it.
Here's a link to the blog home page for those interested:

Well, at least Americans still have freedom of speech. As bad as Canada has gotten, at least we still have a sane nation to the south of us.

They weren't allowed to provide that information. But they did put in the name Captain Ed, the word Gomery, and the information that his blog could be found via google. If you type in those words his blog does show up as the top several links.

Al Goron's invention the internet, is the beginning of the end of socialism's control of what is really happening.

What I have so far:
Gomery Considering Charging Bloggers It has been suggested to me by what is admittedly second-hand information, that Justice John Gomery will consider charging any Canadian blogger who not only provides a link to a site containing banned material, but any Canadian blogger who names the site containing the banned material.

Blogosphere 1, Liberals 0 -- It is the borderlessness of the Internet that has made possible the release of the truth about the Liberals to the Canadian public. Yet we are still in a phase of change where the Liberals are able to harass and intimidate some Canadian blogs, such as NealeNews, into silence. At this point, it was the Americans who came to Canadians aid, by posting the information denied to Canadians on a number of American websites. |
Beat to Quarters (FR mentioned) |
-- Captain's Quarters has really stirred up the Canadian blogosphere by carrying details of court testimony on a governmental scandal that is banned from publication in the Great White North. The scandal is about the use of Canadian government money, laundered through a private ad agency, to hire Liberal Party hacks, and is so serious it may catapault the Canadian conservatives into power. This incident marks one more step by the blogosphere into the realm of news generation as opposed to mere commentary. |
According to 'authorities' linking to the post is a crime in Canada.

Here is the best link I've found to get up to speed on the scandal:

It seems like this could be just what the Conservatives need to get back on their feet again in Canada. Plus, it also looks the Quebec separatists will come out of this with more political power. Maybe Canada's time to take out the garbage has finally come.

The Canadian government (Liberal) is being swamped by the power of the internet and they don't know whether to commit suicide or go bowling. We are having a lot of fun up here.
Thank you, America, for helping us defeat government control of information.

Its how the LEFT has always dealt with those it disagrees with, DON'T DEBATE, JUST SILENCE THEM !
Of course there is a VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR ANY GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS IN ANY PROVINCE IN CANADA TO REPAIR THINGS IN FAIRLY SHORT ORDER;
1.) Get enough signatures on a petition to create a new provincial political party THAT IS REPUBLICAN.
2.) Form a majority government and change the province to a REPUBLIC with its own Constitution.
3.) Secede from Canada as a separate REPUBLIC.
