The award citation reads as follows:

"2008 GOLDEN GAG WINNER
CANWEST GLOBAL AND THE ASPERS

For their SLAPP suit against Mordecai Briemberg, with whose opinions they disagree. For pressing Mordecai to “name names” while they press on with their agenda to suppress the truth. For suing Mordecai for alleged participation in the production of a farcical parody of a daily newspaper while they participate in a daily farce producing a parody of a newspaper. For forgetting that freedom of speech is a right for everyone, and for showing a sense of humour about as deep as their compassion for the fate of Canadian journalism."

* This "SLAPP" (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) is being brought by Canwest in an effort to silence Mordecai Briemberg and create a chill among all critical journalists and political activists.
