Freedom of speech – Often MPtv is the only media outlet (well, maybe that’s exaggerating our description a tad) to actually haul its ass out in the cold and cover events taking place on Canada’s front lawn – the expanse outside the Centre Block on Parliament Hill. That is where the Sergeant-at-arms allows demonstrations to take place, usually under the watchful eye of the RCMP. Obviously, people come there to be seen by their government. But, usually, that does not happen. And such was the case when the Khmerkrom-Canadian Community showed up to talk about religious persecution of Buddhist monks in South Vietnam. Buddist monk, the Venerable Dhammo Tach Truong was there, but no MPs and no ministers. Why should you care about these guys? Because we all should. Taking your cause to Parliament Hill, within sniffing distance of the tailpipes of the prime minister’s motorcade is what this great country’s all about. Source: Member of Parliament Television
