Canadian Blogger Banned from NB Legislature


Is this a case of a blogger behaving badly or has the New Brunswick legislature overreacted?

According to CBC, here's what New Brunswick blogger Charles LeBlanc is accused of:

The notice, posted on LeBlanc's blog, accuses him of demonstrating "unacceptable behaviour within the legislative precincts, which has included harassment and disrespectful behaviour toward legislative staff, members of the Security Detail and members of the public."

The notice includes a map of the district, with lines drawn around the streets where LeBlanc is prohibited from walking.

It's hard to tell from LeBlanc's blog what the issues are but he has apparently been interviewed by CBC TV and that should air tonite.
