Queen's University Journal coverage of my recent presentation on the Maclean's case during Islamic History Month, at Queen's University:

"Khurrum Awan may not have won his human rights complaints against Maclean’s magazine, but said he’s happy people are still talking about its effects two years later.

“It was to raise awareness on the issue of media defamation, the exclusion of Muslim voices and the lack of oversight of media,” he said.

Toronto Star Editorial: As the story keeps changing, public trust in Harper's position is eroding. Rather than give Harper the benefit of the doubt on prorogation, Canadians are asking the question raised in the Liberal ads: "What is he covering up?

Where is the Globe and Mail on this?
Hope all of you peeps are attending the protests next week against the Conservative prorogation --- Democracy does matter!!
Has the disaster in Haiti diverted Canadians' attention from Harper's shutdown of Parliament?
ESPN.com: Chris Bosh is certainly leaving after this season --- trade him now or lose him for nothing --- I say trade him for Andrew Bynum now.
