But this is only speculation. It may be that Canadian courts will find that everything on this list is illegal. Pornographic images of those under 14 Moving or still pictures that use children in their production have been ruled obscene by the Supreme Court of Canada. The producers and sellers of commercial porn, legally available in adult video stores, take extreme care that the persons appearing in their videos are all at least 18 years old. If a person mistakenly believed that the actors in a porn movie were adults, the only defense would be to demonstrate that all reasonable efforts had been taken to determine their ages.
Many people now have home video recorders and make their own porn.
Some of them are sexually active teenagers who don't see themselves as children and don't realize it is illegal to record what it is legal for them to do. So it is not illegal to defend relationships between adults and teenagers 14 and over. But defending the right of teenagers to have anal sex, even with the use of condoms, is now considered child pornography. Comments in Parliament indicated that this provision was intended to criminalize both fiction and nonfiction that challenges age of consent laws and other laws that restrict the rights or opportunities of sexually active young people. This is a severe limitation of the right to political speech and its constitutionality is open to question.
