Canadians can have group sex in clubs: top court
Well, you can only watch so much “Hockey Night in Canada”, eh? So what is one to do during the long, cold, and dark Canadian winter? Well, I suppose huddling together to share body heat is one way to deal with the cold, but this seems a bit over the top…doesn’t it?
It wasn’t enough that we have to deal with The Barenaked Ladies, Howie Mandel, and Natasha Henstridge (it wouldn’t be so bad if she could act…). Before you know it, they’ll be exporting their…uh, wait…we’re actually the ones colonizing them, aren’t we? OK, my bad. Never mind….
For you singles looking for a good read to move to Canada…well, now you may just have everything you could wait. Of course, you’d be living in Montreal, which no one would ever describe as Paradise on Earth. The upside is that you just might be able to get all the nookie one could ever dream of. That sure beats the hell out of watching another Pittsburgh-Columbus barnburner on “Hockey Night in Canada”, eh?
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Group sex between consenting adults is neither prostitution nor a threat to society, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled on Wednesday, dismissing arguments that the sometimes raucous activities of so-called “swingers” clubs were dangerous.
In a ruling that radically changes the way Canadian courts determine what poses a threat to the population, the court threw out the conviction of a Montreal man who ran a club where members could have group sex in a private room behind locked doors.
“Consensual conduct behind code-locked doors can hardly be supposed to jeopardize a society as vigorous and tolerant as Canadian society,” said the opinion of the seven-to-two majority, written by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin.
The decision does not affect existing laws against prostitution because no money changed hands between the adults having sex….
The judges said that just because most Canadians might disapprove of swingers’ clubs, this did not necessarily mean the establishments were socially dangerous.
“Attitudes in themselves are not crimes, however deviant they may be or disgusting they may appear,” the judges said, noting that no one had been pressured to have sex or had paid for sex in either of the cases.
“The autonomy and liberty of members of the public was not affected by unwanted confrontation with the sexual activity in question only those already disposed to this sort of sexual activity were allowed to participate and watch,” they said.
OK, then…GAME ON, EH??
