Leading up to Canada’s May 2 federal election, CJFE encouraged you to ask your local candidates about their stance on critical free expression issues. Each week CJFE posted questions which we invited our readers to e-mail, call or write to their candidates. Now that the votes are in, it is time to hold our local and national representative to their duty to protect and promote the right of Canadian citizens to freedom of expression. To read about the issues CJFE raised during the election, please browse the links below.
