Canada Pushes the Envelope with Mail Censorship
Tony Perkins, FRC: In Canada, the government is having a similar debate over free speech after EGALE (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere) started lobbying the country to censor mail that may be "homophobic." In a letter to the president and CEO of Canada Post, EGALE implies that the postal system is helping to spread a message of hate by delivering materials that may be anti-homosexual. However, even past members of the organization are coming forward to say that EGALE is overstepping its bounds by asking the government to enter an unprecedented era of postal censorship. Gilles Marchildon, a former executive director, says, "... I'm personally not comfortable with [the idea]... The danger, of course, is that once you advocate in favor of curbing freedom of expression, where does it stop and who's going to decide where the line gets drawn?" It would also constitute an incredible invasion of privacy by a government agency. If Canadians empower the government to screen their mail, they have surrendered their most fundamental liberty. Yet this is how far the "thought police" are willing to go to suppress the opinions of anyone who opposes the homosexual lifestyle.
