Yesterday, members of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE) filled the NOW Lounge in Toronto for CJFE’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an engaging discussion on the muzzling of Canadian government scientists.
CJFE is concerned about the arrest and treatment of Toronto Star journalist Alex Consiglio, charged with trespassing for taking photos on June 2 of an injured GO Transit officer at Union Station in Toronto.
