Canada's "Braultgate" or How to Make Money with a "Liberal-friendly" Ad Agency.

Banning Jean Brault's and friends testimony from publication has created an interesting situation about "public" access to information. Although we in Canada cannot read the testimony because it might "prejudge us" as potential jury members the material can be published in the US, but it is illegal for me to give you links to the testimony from any of my Canadian based web sites.

Along with the death of the Pope I don't think any other recent story has perked so much interest among the Canadian public and their politicians. Who knows; maybe by the time you read this the publication ban will be lifted. Http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/domino/reports.nsf/html/20031103ce.html is a report prepared for the Government of Canada and is legal to read. So is http://www3.sympatico.ca/d.senni/adscam.htm list of colorful characters http://sympatico.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1080909340327_106?hub=TopStories for backgrounds of the scandal.

AS this web site is US based you can read further "background' material at ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Canada_sponsorship_scandal which may be illegal to read in Canada and the web site that caused the furor with the Judge and the Canadian Press http://www.captainsquartersblog.com/mt/archives/004220.php The point of this brief article is to illustrate the overall comprehensives of the Internet and to demonstrate dome of the paradox of having a widely disseminated media available to all (at least in this country). If you live in China or some of the middle east nations your entire Internet would be subject to strict government censorship and possible monitoring of your Internet site visits and surprise visits from police or secret service agents.
