Roy Clancy is missing the point all together as this is about his right to write this column at all. I could give a steaming coil about the petty politics between the Liberals and Conservatives, what I care about is the government muzzling the mechanism that provides the consequences of action for the people to see.
ANYONE who defends the governmental censor of the press, especially when it is on the coverage of the result of government policy, has a few screws loose. You give an inch, the government will take a mile. The censoring of the media is the issue here, not the flag at half staff or the wishes of the family, all arm waiving by the usual suspects to blur the issue. I guess the media should have been barred from covering the deaths of the four Mounties in Alberta last year too? That was intrusive on the grieving families was it not? Let me guess, that was different in some way? The nation has the right to know what the cost of supporting a military incursions is, and they have the right to honor the dead. The government prohibiting the media from reporting the facts is dispicable.
