Communications Committee Update

MARL is excited to announce that we now have a new blog which gives everyone an opportunity to voice their opinions about important issues concerning human rights and civil liberties. Simply go to our website at www.marl.mb.ca and link to one of the discussion topics posted. From there you can post your comment on a topic of interest. We’d especially love to hear from our members. It’s a great way to stay in touch with our members and keep a vigorous exchange of ideas flowing. Many thanks to Peter Sim for his technical expertise in setting up the blog site.

Recently, MARL has placed a greater emphasis on reaching out to university students. Not only do we want to foster debate about rights and liberties among young people, we hope to attract new and energetic members to MARL. In line with this goal, Ken Mandziuk’s excellent article on free speech, featured in this newsletter, was also published in a recent edition of the Manitoban. It is also one of the discussion topics on our blog.

MARL is always looking for ways to communicate better with our members. To that end, if you would like to receive this newsletter electronically rather than in paper form, please send us an email at marl@mts.net. This will help us save costs and the environment at the same time.
