EUGENE VOLOKH WRITES ON CANADIAN CENSORSHIP and includes this chilling warning:

Note to Canadian readers: Be careful about clicking on that link; while I’m not acquainted with the details of the Canadian law, and whether it applies to downloading, I would assume that if the government concludes that the newsletter is illegal to import, it may prosecute you for downloading it, too.

That he needs to give this warning makes his final comment even more significant:

Remember this when people condemn American “absolutism” about free speech, and urge the supposedly more “nuanced” and “balanced” European and Canadian approach.

Canada should be ashamed of this.
