And, yes, that's the analogy i'm making. You can change the employer to Canada then.
I'm attacking your point of free speech being taken away, and I'm saying it's not.
Now you are switching to "International News = Government in Power news". Where did I say that? Did I suggest that the government put a gag order on all information leaving this country?
I'm suggesting that people in power that are representing Canada should represent a united front to the world. If Mulclair doesn't agree with a policy, fight it at home and keep it shut outside. If he wants to swing the policy over to his side (environmental issues in this case), there are ways he could have done it and still presented a united front.

I'm curious whether you took exception with American politicians who spoke out against the Iraq invasion in interviews with foreign journalists during the Bush presidency. Were they traitors for speaking out as some on the extreme right had suggested at the time?
History shows us that many ideologues praise the value of a united front when it suits their purposes but argue the opposite when speaking out against any policy or program they oppose.
