Abstract

Even in a progressive nation like Canada, it can be agreed on by most people that freedom of expression, even though it is a right that we all hold dear, does have its limits. However, the issue that is pertinent, particularly in law, is where this line ought to be drawn. They are issues that confront our society on a daily basis, in the media, on the streets, at work, and in the courts, and as such, it is worthwhile that we have a more reasoned set of principles designed to determine where the line ought to be drawn. freedom of expression has many realms, one being the domain of sex, specifically pornography. This essay will examine how freedom of expression, as it is protected in the Constitution, applies to the production and proliferation of pornography in Canada. It will examine the different arguments on the issue and the cases in canadian law that are relevant. From this it will be clear that the criminal prohibition of obscenity, with its importance on sexual explicitness, is seen by many as insufficient.
