 Human Rights, Human Wrongs (Winnipeg)Is there hope for free speech in Canada? Guest Speaker: Nigel Hannaford, Calgary Herald Columnist and Editorial Board Member 
With even such high-profile luminaries as Maclean's columnist Mark Steyn being hauled before Canada's own version of the inquisition — the Canadian Human Rights Commission — it's not surprising ordinary Canadians are increasingly fearful of saying what they really think. Nigel Hannaford looks at the commissions, where they came from and where they went wrong, and finding some reason for optimism, looks at where they may be going. Reserve your seat today.
