Word of the day
"Moresomes", as in "Swingers clubs which feature consenting adults cavorting in twosomes, threesomes and moresomes, are legal, the Supreme Court of Canada said Wednesday".
Although it is the Road Hammer word of the day, somehow, I just don't see the term "moresome" catching on.

No kidding. Who cares? I really don't see the controversy here.
You guys are missing the boat on this one!
This was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court. They redifined indecency, deciding it should not only depend on what is acceptable to the community at large, but rather should be based on the harm a particular activity might cause.
Previously, these clubs were in a grey area — not illegal, but not legal, either... as demonstrated by the two contradictory judgements handed down in Quebec Courts.
The previous definition of indecency is not sustainable in a diverse society... it only ensures that the will of the moral majority is imposed on minority groups.
The new definition of indecency is really an important advance in this previously wishy-washy legal area.
I think the SC made the right decision in this case and I'm glad they didn't take a pass on it.
I actually tried to get into L'orage once in Mtl. They wouldnt let me in the door, needed to be a member. I guess they are re-opening now.
Call me cynical, but I think this case was more the attempts of some lawyers to make a name for themselves than anything else.
