Allow me once again to apologize on ber bebaif. lu would appear that Mother Nature, Uiat old tease, 18 stili avenging Uic sudden demise of ber innocent messenger of spring at thé bauds of my sister and her stecriug whee. Once again, I really do apologize, and l'Il talk to the Ministry of Transportation to sec what wc can do about getting ber drivées license revoked. But let us not dwell1 in Uic past. So, onward we go. Applaud our great country, if you will, for taking a stride in Uic direction of Iraqi aile. With thc sweeping publication ban that prohibits Uic media from exposing any of Uic détails in Uic Homoika-Benardo case, Canada has fallen down the list of countries that enjoy comple frcedom of Uic media. Just last ycar, Canada was topping thc list, and was being praised for Uic freedom that this country's media bas in satisfying Uic publics right to Uic news. This year, duc largely in part' to the Government of Ontario's pub lication bau on thc Homoika- Bernardo trials, and with a number of smaller publication bans across Uic country, Canada now finds itsclf tenth. SMaybe it-does not seemlike a monumental slide, but in a country renowned for its freedom and fairness, this is more Uian a mere stumble. Even Pravda, before it's demise last ycar. bad a few years to enjoy Uic wonders of glasnost. Wbole worlds bave opened up iu Russia and thc former Soviet republics, wbere bere lu Canada our media bas been forced to put an abrupt end, to what it is that the media does... inform Uice public of Uic things that are of concern to Uiem. Fortunately, we have not started on a long decline to Uic depths of the Hussein-induced Iraqi form of media coverage. And bopefully, we bave flot corne to the point wbere wc need a Gorbachev to be our sbining star leading us back toward Uic ligbt. And, hopefully, lu the near future tbe Goveruments of this country will realize the truc implications of wbat a fuît publication ban can do, and wil restore Uic proper freedom to Uic media, and Uic public, that they rightly deserve and are entitlcd to.
