A Big Blog Success & "Is Canada the Next Failed State?"

This article, from American blogger Austin Bay, gives good evidence on the real power that blogs now have. Specifically, he describes the effect that the American www.captainsquartersblog.com had on the attempt by an unelected Canadian judiciary to censor details of the massive corruption trial of the federal Liberal party. This analysis is framed rhetorically as question of Canada, given its present social and political attitudes, will be able to survive as a nation.
[The blog analysis is the good bit, but it also helps to hear how we look from another country!]
