Editing Profanity (section)

===Canada===
Section 175 of Canada's [[Criminal Code (Canada)|Criminal Code]] makes it a criminal offence to "cause a disturbance in or near a public place" by "swearing […] or using insulting or obscene language". Provinces and municipalities may also have their laws against swearing in public. For instance, the Municipal Code of [[Toronto]] bars "profane or abusive language" in public parks.<ref>[https://teeterme.com/canada-park-swearing-law/ Canada’s Surprising Park Etiquette Law: The Ban on Public Swearing], Teeterme.</ref> In June 2016, a man in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]], was arrested for using profane language at a protest against [[Bill C-51 (41st Canadian Parliament, 2nd Session)|Bill C-51]].<ref>[https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2016/06/24/nova-scotia-man-facing-trial-for-swearing-in-public.html Nova Scotia man facing trial for swearing in public], thestar.com.</ref>
