Description

December 18 North York, Ont. Alderman Ron Summers attempted to pressure the North York Library Board to ban the Body Politic from North York's public libraries, calling the magazine "smut" and stating that "the lifestyle it's promoting is contrary to the moral fibre of our society." The Library Board refused to comply with the request, but did consider limiting children's access to the magazine.
