Censorship in Cananda
Canadians are fortunate to be free. Canadians are are lucky to be free to enjoy the basic human right to express themselves on many different topics. Freedom of expression means, "the act of representing or making known a person's thoughts or feelings in words or by way of gestures of conduct. It is the ability of people in society to say or do what they feel like, in the form which they like". The enemy of freedom of expression, is censorship. Censorship is, "the act of determining how individuals in society can or should be impressed and in turn, how they should behave. It is also the act of assesing and determining the viability of certain ideas or communications". Censorship stiffles the freedom of expression in Canada.
