A Toronto city councillor is seeking to regulate how some graphic imagery can be distributed publicly after her constituents and their children were exposed to "disturbing" anti-abortion flyers.put forth a motion seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher at Wednesday's council meeting
"We have been receiving complaints from a number of constituents about these graphic flyers that have been put in their mailboxes, in their homes," Saxe told CTV News Toronto Monday. "They're not enclosed in anything so the children can see it.""People don't get a choice, whether or not to be exposed to these disturbing images in their homes, and they feel quite strongly that it interferes with their rights of privacy and self-determination.
There are two ways freedom of expression can be legally limited within the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Sumner explained – by content restriction, for example, the outlawing of hate speech, or by time and/or circumstance restrictions, which is not a blanket ban, but instead places limits on how citizens can express themselves."It's entirely reasonable," Sumner said, adding the controversial nature of the imagery warrants the move.
