Summary: 


   
 It Pains me to see a supposedly educated person classify the canadian press
as being in the same catagory as the Soviet official news agency.  If our 
press doesn't seem to report as many murders and rapes as your oh so 
illustrious country's maybe its because we dont have as many of the acts
and not due to some mythical censorship. As far as I can tell (and I have lived in various parts of this country for my entire life) there is no censorship
imposed upon the press of Canada except their own conciences. We rarely get
to see the tears of a victims family as they are buried , gee what a loss
I think I will move to the good ol' US of A tomorrow. Next time do us all a
favor and either limit your distribuion to the US or think before placing 
your foot so firmly in your throat .
