Canada’s Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund Incorporates
According to a press release sent out last night from the Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund, the one-time fundraising organization has formally incorporated and named new members to its board of directors. The Fund will serve the interests of free speech in Canada. Its status as a charity is currently pending, but is expected to come through by the end of the year. The instigating incident for the move is the arrest and prosecution of an American citizen crossing into Canada with image on his laptop that arresting authorities deemed objectionable.
The Board of Directors expands from its previous three members to five. Derek McCulloch, Leonard Wong and Paul Stockton are joined by retailers Jay Bardyla (Edmonton's Happy Harbor Comics) and Jennifer Haines (Guelph's The Dragon).
The CLLDF was founded in 1987.
