Ahh Canada, where you can walk around topless, if you’re female and you so
choose (k, that’s Ontario only right now, but as yet I have seen no
evidence of women excercising that legal right), where you can have on

If a law isn’t protecting the rights of citizens from being infringed, it is not
necessary. (not every law that purports to so do is necessary, but this is a
good filter to start winnowing)
