We need to be extremely vigilant about protecting our right to a free press. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms defines our right to a free press, as the right to the free flow of information. Yet the state tries to interfere with this all the time.

When we raise our voices to defend our free press, however, we need to take special care not to confuse a free press with freedom of expression.

Freedom of the press and freedom of expression are different rights.

We need to be careful not to confuse these rights and their meanings because a lot of people are hollering about freedom of expression these days.
