The Hon. Judy Foote,
Minister of Public Services,
House of Commons,
Ottawa, ON.,
K1A 2A6
Dear Ms Foote:
I was appalled to learn that you have served YOUR WARD NEWS editor Dr. James Swears and publisher Leroy St. Germaine.
The Interim Prohibitory Order makes the editor and publishers non-persons. They may neither send nor receive mail,
The relevant section of the Canada Post Corporation Act states:
(3) Subject to subsection (4), while an interim or final prohibitory order is in effect, the Minister may
- (a)detain or return to the sender any mail addressed to, or anything posted by, the person affected;
This totalitarian penalty is imposed because, on “reasonable grounds” , the Minister believes YOUR WARD NEWS is violating Sec. 319 (“hate law”) or the defamatory libel section 300.
However, no such charges have been laid against YOUR WARD NEWS, and, needless to say, no convictions registered,
Furthermore, even if there had been convictions for previous issues, each issue of the paper is different. I think Sec. 43-46 of the Act over-reach and, in this instance, deny the victims natural justice.
Canada Post must not act as a censor. The Interim Prohibitory Order violates the principles of English Common law where one is presumed INNOCENT, until PROVEN guilty. YOUR WARD NEWS is brash and satirical. It gores sacred cows and upsets many. That’s freedom of speech. Outraged people who don’t like it should chuck it in the garbage.
There should be no right in Canada not to be offended.
Hoping that you will rethink, stand up to the thought-police lobby and rescind this order, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Paul Fromm
Director
