U.S. journalist extraordinaire — one of the few true journalists left in this country — Amy Goodman, of DemocracyNow! was detained and questioned by Canadian authorities on Wednesday for 90 minutes because they were concerned “she was coming to Canada to speak against the Olympics.”
“I am deeply concerned that as a journalist I would be flagged and that the concern — the major concern — was the content of my speech,” said Goodman.
I thought Canada was better than this.
