It’s Freedom to Read Week in Canada and it’s more important than ever to stand against censorship and support intellectual freedom.

You may think think Canada is immune from censorship but that’s not the case. A quick visit to FreedomtoRead.ca shows some of the books that people have tried to censor in this country.

They include:

• a Canadian poetry anthology
• The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
• queer memoirs
• Lives of Girls and Women by Alice Munro
• Maclean’s Magazine
• the graphic novel Persepolis
• Timothy Findley’s The Wars
• And many more.

Visit FreedomtoRead.ca and learn how you can help.

Above all, keep reading!
