: Life of a Law StudentCanadian Constitutional Law #17: Provincial Regulation of Morality
By Erin
Nude dancing, prostitution and stamping out communism are just some of the issues the provinces have attempted to tackle. Since morality is considered a valid criminal purpose (see Margarine reference from episode 15 of the last term’s podcasts), and criminal law is a federal power, how have the courts interpreted provincial attempts to regulate moral issues under other provincial powers like property and civil rights or matters of a merely local/private nature?
