CBC Radio says "Censor This!"

A Toronto Star article on censorship gives a little information on Canadian censorship in the area of music, theatre, and literature. According to The Star, "The public broadcaster plans to air at least 15 radio programs on the topic starting tomorrow and running for a week."

Margaret Laurence

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has created a wonderful timeline of documentary and news clips of Margaret Laurence's life, death, and legacy. Laurence is one of Canada's best-known authors and one whose books have been challenged time and again over the years. Her books include The Diviners, The Stone Angel, A Jest of God, and The Fire Dweller among others.

The site includes resources for teachers who may be using her novels or talking about Canadian writers.
