CanWest is going after the publisher who parodied the Vancouver Sun.  According to the website supporting the parodist:
In early June, 2007, a parody of The Vancouver Sun newspaper was produced and copies distributed. The parody, a slim four-page edition, coincided with the 40th year of the continuous Israeli occupation of territories it conquered in the 1967 war. The parody focused on the biased media coverage of Israel/Palestine in The Vancouver Sun.

I've had a lot of people email me who are shocked at CanWest's strong arm tactics here.  We'll see how this plays out.

mtippett, I like this story. It's good stuff.  Some people just do not have a sense of humour, one Day " Just wait till they get a load of me", as Mark (Old News Geezer) said about my warped sense of Play with my stories and Photoshop. Mark said,  "Barry Artiste, You are indeed a Dangerous and Hilarious person  to be reckoned with, with one who uses Photoshop as a Weapon of Humour" ! And Mark meant that as a Compliment as some here have seen my work will attest.
