COPE launches “Oppressometer” today – www.2010oppressometer.com
Immediate Release: February 9, 2010
At
a media conference today, COPE launched the “2010 Oppressometer”, an
online tool developed to monitor civil liberties during the Olympic
period. The site is a tongue-in-cheek take on the US Homeland Security
threat levels, documenting civil liberty concerns in the months leading
up to the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. The most recent entry (labeled
“high”) highlights the recent story of Canadian border officials
denying entry into Canada to a Chicago-based journalist critical of the
Games.
