In February 2013, Tom Flanagan, acclaimed academic, University of Calgary professor, and former advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, made comments surrounding the issue of viewing child pornography that were Tweeted from the event he was speaking at and broadcast worldwide. In the time it took to drive back to his home in Calgary, Flanagan's career and reputation were virtually in tatters. This book is the author's side of the story, about what he endured during what he calls The Incident', as well as a passionate and convincing defence of free speech.
