From Trevor Lauten's column in the North Shore News:

The price of freedom and free speech mounts

...Judy Stone is the guiding light of the pet-compassionate organization Animal Advocates. Four years ago the B.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals sued her for her allegations about SPCA practices.
Stone too has completely maxed-out her house mortgage for legal costs (contributions go to the animals, not her bills). The trial is scheduled for this year.

Put aside the merits. How deep are the pockets of these two women, compared with those of a media company like WIC, doubtless with libel insurance, or a big organization like the SPCA? What price free speech?
