OTTAWA—There was once a Canadian prime minister named Trudeau who stated “there’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” This Trudeau PM was not the current version, Justin Trudeau, of course, but rather his father Pierre. This famous sentence was uttered during a debate on the decriminalization of “homosexual acts” performed in private. PET added “what’s done in private between adults doesn’t concern the Criminal Code.”
