This doesn't speak to that?

If there is unlawful content on the site and a court orders it taken down, the host ISP must take it down.# But that is not what has happened here.# No court has ordered the site taken down.# Rather, a single ISP, which happens to be the second largest telecommunications company in Canada, has seen fit to play judge and jury by blocking the site.

It's not Telus' place to block access to that site; if the content is illegal it is the site's host that should take the offending information down.
The "why" of the blocking doesn't matter, the blocking itself is wrong.

That does not speak to it at all. Geist deliberately refused to present Telus' point of view because he knew their argument for blocking the site pointed to the illegal and reprehensible actions of the union and/or some of it's members. Since Geist very, very clearly has a pro-union agenda, such a mention would run counter to his intentions.
As far as the whys go, I suppose you feel it is wrong that Telus blocks spam and suspected virusses from reaching your email inbox?
