Raise a glass to celebrate going on 40 years of liberty -- it was 39 years ago today that the Canadian government passed Omnibus Bill C-150:
"The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1968-69 S.C.1968-69, c. 38) was an omnibus bill that introduced major changes to the Criminal Code of Canada. It was introduced as Bill C-150 by then Minister of Justice Pierre Trudeau in the second session of the27th Canadian Parliament on December 21, 1967. On May 14, 1969, after heated debates, Omnibus Bill C-150 passed third reading in the House of Commons..." [...]It was this bill that Trudeau famously defended by saying
"It proposed, among other things, to decriminalize homosexuality, allow abortion and contraception..."
"There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation."Amen to that, baby, and cheers!
