Books Recently Seized or Detained by Canada Customs

by Jane Henderson

The past 20 years have shown Canadian censorship to be legal, durable, and popular. Canadian censors--whether government officials or common citizens-- have shown little confidence of the abilities of other people to think or behave responsibly after reading 'objectionable' books and magazines.

As an active member of the Atlantic Regional Solidarity Network and the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network, I find the Dominion invaluable. I find news and analyses that I cannot find elsewhere without spending hours on the Internet. In particular, I pore through every issue to develop a critical understanding of Canadian foreign policy. As well, I find invaluable information regarding the environmental, social, cultural and political implications of resource extraction in Latin America and Canada. I nver come away disappointed.

In my efforts to support independent journalism and keep abreast of progressive perspectives on national and global issues, I also subscribe to This Magazine, Canadian Dimension and the Walrus. More often than not it is the Dominion that offers me the most up-to-date information and the most concise analysis. I urge anyone seeking an alternative and informed voice on critical issues facing us as Canadians and as global citizens to subscribe to the Dominion.

About the Dominion

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
