Three months have elapsed since the Federal Court’s judgment in our lawsuit against Canada Post. We have now had a chance to consider the ruling carefully, and report our conclusions.

January 15, 2008

We waited three months for the judgment and when it arrived the news was good: we won!  The judge ruled that Canada Post did not have legal authority to prohibit our election flyer and ordered Canada Post to clean up its legal act and re-write its regulations prohibiting sexual material.

Justice Beaudry of the Federal Court of Canada reserved judgment on Wednesday October 17, after a 2.5 day trial. Decisions can issue as soon as a week after a hearing or as much as months afterward.

There were no surprises at the hearing. Both parties followed closely their written arguments that had been filed months earlier.

Our day in court finally arrives. Our legal action against Canada Post for refusing to deliver our federal election flyer is scheduled for a three day hearing in Federal Court in Vancouver.

How does prejudice perpetuate itself?

How is it, for example, that when most of the world accepts women as deserving of right equal to men, some countries such as Saudi Arabia or Iran vigorously repress their female population?

Turns out that a small number of people are key to the oppression. The king, the royal family, the elite mullahs.

He is a pious man. A believer.

He puts on a pack. Walks into a crowd. And detonates an explosion that will blow him and many innocent bystanders to bits

Picture this:  70 police officers, many heavily armed, assemble in a residential neighborhood. A police chopper hovers above a house in a suburb of Vancouver, BC. Months of investigation have prepared them for the raid they are about to conduct.

 Several months ago phone provider Telus decided to sell images of naked people in arousing poses to age-verified mobile phone customers. The images were entirely legal and purely softcore. No sex acts were depicted.
