Oh, jeez

I somehow doubt that those who fought to entrench the right to free expression in various charters and declarations of rights and independence envisioned a major media company claiming that right is violated when drug companies can’t advertise directly to consumers in Canada. (Fourth graf in linked story.)

What message is sent when this becomes CanWest’s fight and not the fight of the drug companies?
