detrimental intrusion into the rights of freedoms of expression and to
privacy by making it an offence to possess pornography substantially
outweighed its salutary effect of combating practices that put children
at risk; Libman v. Quebec, [1997] 3 S.C.R. 569, which said that
freedom of expression protected by s. 2(b) of the Charter must be
interpreted broadly; Ross v. New Brunswick School District No. 15,
[1996] 1 S.C.R. 825 said that community needs warranted overriding a
teacher’s constitutional freedom to make discriminatory statements in
his off-duty time; Dagenais v. Canadian Broadcating Corp., [1994] 3
