I have been noticing the ethnicity and the origin of the people that post comments on my blog. I hardly get any Arabs. Arabs only comment when there is a controversial issue about country, politics, or Arabs in general. When I post a regular thought about every day life, I barely get any Arabs posted. I get a variety of different ethnicity. Especially American or European origin.

Maybe I like it this way. A variety of people. A variety of ethnicities and cultures that comment on my site not because I am an Arab, but because I am just another human being with every day life thought that I like to share. I like it. I really do and I am glad that my writing is beyond that Arab patriotic realm. Although I posted a while back about Ashamed being an Arab, but still. I am what I am and I am glad there are different people out there who just like my blog for who I am, and not where I am from. I like it.

Canadian Blogger Shut Down

Yulblogger, podcaster, ilesansfiler, and art gallery/space guy Chris Hand, aka Zeke, has had his blog shut down by a court injunction.

The Montreal and Canadian blogging, free speech, rational people communities ought to be up in arms. I urge everyone to at least write about this to get this info out. It’s a real danger to all of us who write what we think online.

Those who know Zeke know he’s loud, opinionated and something of a loose cannon. He’s also a stalwart of Montreal’s blogging/podcasting/art/arts scene, and a good guy.

how do you, as a reader of blogs and citizen of Canada and Quebec, feel about freedom of speech in your country?

Chris, what can we do to help?
