In these countries, Freedom of the Press is lost-- and with it, people have lost their voice in govern- ment. Protest against such curbs is quickly muzzled. Fortunately, in Canada, Freedom of the Press is unchallenged. It is a Canadian birthright that must be guarded. : Few Canadians realize that our press has no special privileges. The rights of the press are the same as each person's rights. The individual and the press possess identical freedoms and identical responsi- bilities under law. Our newspapers require no permission to operate, They have no obligation ¢o any governmental body, They have free access to all the news. They are responsible only to you, their readers. History records that when free people are deprived of their easy access to news they lose their say in government. Consider this the next time you pick up your daily newspaper.
