The Canadian Civil Liberties Association celebrates its fiftieth anniversary with this overview of its activities-sometimes quiet and sometimes strident-as a watchdog and safeguard for Canadians and their rights as citizens. Through a series of discussions and interviews, a picture of Canada over the last half-century evolves. From the Charter of Freedoms to life and death matters such as abortion and the death penalty through to public security vs. the right to privacy. A fascinating look at the civil rights many of us take for granted.
