93 THE GREAT CANADIAN BEAVER HUNT
Look closely — you may see your neighbour
PUBLISHERS STATEMENT
If Mr.Trudeau wants to censor Canada's Woks and periodicals, let him do it himself—
and not force distributors, retailers and the police to do it for him.
Amid all the truly horrendous problems that Canada faces. the government of Pierre
Trudeau is planning on a new law that will make the police, and the companies
that distribute magazines and paperback books to the nation's newsstands, censors
of what the Canadian people can read.
The government is planning to do this by changing the Criminal Code in a way that
will make the law even more vague and difficult to interpret than in the past.
As if this isn't bad enough, the penalties for not interpreting it just the way
somebody would like, are going to be more harsh than ever.
Are you prepared to live under this law?
What this means to you is that publishers, distributors and retailers are going
to arbitrarily make your reading choices for you. You won't have the opportunity
to make your own choice because many of the periodicals and books to which you've
become accustomed could be stopped from going on sale.
Under the changes planned for the obscenity secticn of the Criminal Code, nobody
will be able to tell for sure whether a particular magazine or book might be open
to charges. The proposed changes say simply a thing will be obscene if it "unduly
exploits" any of the following—sex, crime, violence. horror, or the
undue degradation of the hUmma-porn-star">Uman person.
That would be fine. perhaps. if it wasn't so vague It leaves it up to somebody's
interpretation to decide what is "undue and unlike any other criminal law.
where you know whether or not you're breaking it. you could be committing a crime
without even knowing it—a "crime- carrying a punishment of up to 10
years in jail and a fine of $100.000. How can the police be expected to administer
fairly a law as vague as this? Why not try a little honesty, Mr. Trudeau?
If the federal government strongly believes there's a problem about some of the
books and periodicals on sale in Canada today, why not let it try a little honesty
for a change? If Mr. Trudeau is really convinced that magazines and books need
to be censored, let him set up his own Censorship Board. But let him not ask publishers,
distributors and retailers to do his work for him—and theri be forced to
suffer the consequences if they don't interpret an impossible law just the way
he'd like it interpreted.
Does Mr. Trudeau really think it's in the national interest that police. distributors
and retailers be given the power and the responsibility of censoring your reading
matter.
What your MP can do about this What are the Liberal MPs going to say about this
new law? What will the MPs of the Conservative and New Democratic parties have
to say? We've always believed that our MPs, regardless of party affiliation, are
in Ottawa to stand on guard for our liberties, not to take them from us. It's
about time some of them showed the courage to denounce these Criminal Code amendments
for what they area sleazy political attempt to distract public attention from
the Liberal government's failure to deal with such issues as inflation, unemployment,
government deficits, and the disappearing dollar.
If Mr. Trudeau has an ounce of liberal blood left in his Liberal body, he'll put
a stop to this. And if he doesn't, Canada's MPs should. God help freedom in this
country if they don't.
