Canada's national alternative forum, This Magazine, publishes comprehensive feature story on the pending Friends of the Lubicon trial. Now available on newsstands.
"Speak no evil" - The nightmare legal battle between native rights activists Friends of the Lubicon (FoL) and multinational paper giant Daishowa has become a full-out war between corporate rights and freedom of expression. When the FoL began their incredibly successful consumer boycott against Daishowa paper products, they never dreamed it would tern into a test case on the new world order. With an Ontario court verdict on the legality of the boycott expected any day, award-winning writer Gordon Laird exposes the massive repercussions of the trial and the decision. It's the first comprehensive account of one of the most under-reported news stories of the 1990s, a fascinating mix environmental politics, native rights and Canada's eroding Charter freedoms.
