NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh should do a better job of vetting publicized supporters — or is vile behaviour normal in Canada’s extreme left-wing socialist party?
On Thursday, a video of Singh and Vancouver pornography creator Jessica Wetz was circulating on X. The two, fully clothed, delivered anti-Israel rhetoric — presumably to bolster Singh’s poor poll rankings, though it’s unclear when the video was made.
The situation worsened for Singh: another video of Wetz is circulating — and it’s far more disturbing. The video shows Wetz taking self-induced abortion medication and bragging about it. In a macabre spectacle, she also displays the tiny dead fetus, which she kept in her refrigerator.
"Step one, I'm fu_king with you. It's just five pills," said Wetz. "It's medical abortion. You can have this up to 11 weeks of pregnancy, and I'm only at five. A lot of people get this medication confused with the Plan B pill or the morning after pill? That's a medication that prevents ovulation right after you (blank)."
In Canada, whether displaying a dead aborted fetus and probing it in a video on X could be a crime depends on specific laws, context, and intent. Unlike the U.S., Canada balances free expression with stricter limits on public decency and harm.
Section 182(b) of the Criminal Code of Canada makes it an indictable offence — punishable by up to five years in prison — to offer "an indignity to a human body or human remains" or to improperly interfere with them.
Fetal remains from an abortion are considered “human remains” under Canadian law once expelled, especially if identifiable as such. Probing a dead aborted fetus in a video could be interpreted as an “indignity,” particularly if done in a disrespectful or gratuitous way.
Courts would consider intent and public reaction — for example, whether it’s meant to shock or degrade rather than educate.
Section 163 defines obscenity as material where a “dominant characteristic” is the “undue exploitation of sex, or of sex and any one or more of … crime, horror, cruelty [or] violence.”
A video of probing a fetus could be deemed obscene if excessively graphic or exploitative, especially if sexualized or sensationalized.
The Supreme Court in R. v. Butler (1992) set a “community standards” test — Canadians might tolerate abortion debates, but probing a fetus could cross the line into “undue.”
Penalties include up to two years in prison.
