Here's an article about FTRW that appeared in Xtra.ca (“Where Queers Conspire”). They asked various Canadian literary types and free speech proponents to give their thoughts on some common and/or recently challenged books.
From the article's introduction:
Canada is a censorious country. Our nanny state bans most hate speech
(not the religious-based homophobic kind), stops erotica at the border
and may soon allow police to monitor all communication on the internet
— all to “protect” Canadians from reading, seeing and hearing material
that, somehow, will harm us. (Apparently the country's watchful agents
are able to view all this dangerous stuff without a problem.)
