Should Canada stop carrying online pornography?

advisoryCanadasponsor: Mike Seiler, foundermandate: advisoryopens 2026-09-01 · closes 2027-09-01

A national advisory ballot. The sponsor's case is that the world already agrees some images are beyond tolerance, and that no Canadian server needs to carry pornography. Members answer five typed questions, facts first. Everyone watches the tally.

I am convinced the majority of the world would vote it down. We already agree, collectively, that other gross images are illegal, trafficking included. Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Jews, most religions would vote for online pornography to be abolished. No Canadian server needs to carry it, and we do not need to tolerate it. This ballot gives the world a new voice.

The sponsor's case, Mike Seiler, founder. A ballot is a method: the case is the sponsor's, the chain below asks facts first.
