Commentary

Startling events took place recently in the small city of Quesnel, British Columbia, when the city council voted to condemn a book that none of its council members had read and asked for the mayor’s resignation because his wife had given a few copies of the book to friends. You would think a city council has better things to do than to tell citizens what not to read.
