Alan Borovoy, who was the general counsel for CCLA from 1964 to 2009, discusses the October Crisis and the invocation of the War Measures Act. What happened during Canada's constitutional crisis? How did the Canadian Civil Liberties Association react at the time? What were the consequences for the country? In a fascinating interview, Borovoy talks about his personal memories of the time and how his organization was at the forefront of preserving Canadians' civil liberties.
The sad truth is that a large majority of people will demand that the government take away their rights in exchange for the illusion that they will be safe. Freedom will always lose in the end because people are really that simple.
