Yesterday at The Reaction I mentioned that the Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC) was set to rule on a high-profile case involving:
— abortion?
— the death penalty?
— church and state?
— police powers?
No: swingers clubs. That post, which includes some background to the case and my own take on, well, swinging, is here.

The ruling is in. SCOC has upheld the rights of swingers to do as they please, more or less, within the confines of their clubs — see here.
(I know I’ve published quite a few posts on Canada lately. I hope you all find them interesting. Needless to say, it’s an interesting time to be a Canadian.)
