Sean McCormick gives weekly blogs on issues mainly in sports on sportsnet.ca. A few weeks ago he gave his opinion on a separatist lawyer who thinks Finnish hockey player Saku Koivu should know French because he lives in Quebec, a predominantly French province of Canada. McCormick says this is outrageous and just to give Saku a break because he didn’t know any English coming from a foreign country and to give him more of a chance before judging him.

This voice is going to be liked, disliked, agreed or disagreed with so you must expect some sort of feedback. Some people are even charged with defamation or liability, and many cases have went to trial.
