A note to our readers Tuesday, 10 June 2008 Now that the first show trial is behind us, SteynOnline is going on hiatus for a while. I have to do some far-flung traveling in connection with a forthcoming project that would have been coming forth a whole lot sooner were it not for these thought-police investigations.

Thanks to everyone who's swung by these parts to read a column, enter a competition, buy a book or drop a missive to Mark's Mailbox, and in so doing helped make this last year our most successful yet. I'm especially grateful to all those who chose to express their support by buying America Alone and much else during last week's farce in Vancouver. We don't have a legal defense fund and, to be honest, I far prefer it, if you want to chip in, that you get a book or a T-shirt or a mug in return. That way we all win.

However, if you are anxious to help the cause, a good way to do so is to donate to the Freedom Five - the handful of bloggers targeted by Richard Warman, the man who embodies what's gone wrong with Canadian "human rights". Please feel free to toss a buck or two the way of Ezra, Kate, Kathy, and Connie and Mark at Free Dominion. They could use some help.

In the meantime, check the Binkmeister at Free Mark Steyn! for daily updates on the campaign to restore free speech to Canada. And check in with my pals at The Corner for all the fun, frivolity and sheer despair of Campaign 2008.

See you soon,

Mark

I guess you're right. His patriotism for the U.S. had me fooled. He is more loyal than a great deal of Americans.

Do you think there might be a chance that we can do a fundraiser here?

[Brad’s Gramma]

That would be legal stuff ...... of which I know nothing of. Sorry...

What I haven’t seen in reading about this is why Mark Steyn went to the proceedings. Was he subpoenaed and if so under what authority does a Canadian court subpoena a U.S. citizen?

Mark was born in Canada, and I believe he keeps dual citizenship.

Thanks Anti-Bubba182!

The objective of censorship is always the silencing of wrong-thinkers or critics; seems to me that the censors have accomplished much of what they sought.

[Chickensoup]

Yes, but cant we do something about it?

[Catholic Canadian]

Most Conservative Canadians are.

I bet they chicken out, or deliver a half ast verdict only because Mark has the following to take this to the top in style.

“America Alone” is a very good book, and points out the importance of our standing against the tide of Islamic extremism, even if we have to do it by ourselves.

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT to look up more info on the book later...

:)

I read it and have recommended it to many.
