Who to Write:
We can no longer take the 'ostrich' approach to this problem because, even if you do not watch pornography, it has invaded your neighbourhood and affects you and your safety. Remember the fact that the largest consumers are the age group from 12 to 17. These people are developing attitudes toward women and society, which will affect us for years to come. Speak out against pornography.
It is illegal to produce, sell or distribute child pornography. Unfortunately, it is not illegal to possess. This kind of pornography is used by pedophiles to show children that what they are doing is okay. We want the Federal Justice Minister to make it illegal to possess it in Canada. Child pornography is a visual record of a crime that has been committed.
