Our news media is heavily biased and one-sided. What you don't hear about is WHY the law was cancelled. There may have already been an existing law which covered this situation. Leaving out the WHY makes it appear that government will not do anything about the problem.
Liberals tend to introduce a new laws to give the impression that they are doing good. What they are really doing is making a tangled mess of the legal system which makes most things a crime and turns us all into criminals.
