Not so much free speech

Some Canadian bloggers are finding out the hard way that you can't just publish whatever you want! The Globe and Mail has an interesting tale of bloggers being sued for liable because of comments that they have made and in some cases comments that others have made on their sites. We are perhaps a bit ignorant of our own laws here in the great white north and maybe a little guilty of assuming that what we see on television, mostly American content, applies to us. While I have always believed in the credo, "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all", this article was an eye opener. If you blog, and are subject to Canadian law, it is worth having a read.
