CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

NPR reports:

Last week, Canada repealed a number of so-called “zombie laws” that remained on the books after they were found to be unconstitutional, redundant, or just, well … too old and weird.

One law that was scrubbed was Section 365 of the Canadian Criminal Code – that’s the law that made it illegal to practice fake witchcraft.

Despite the federal government’s labeling that law as archaic and slated for erasure, an Ontario woman was charged last week with fraudulent witchcraft – fortunetelling, specifically – just two days before the law was eliminated.
