A new study released by the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) at the 39th World Congress of the International Naturist Federation (INF-FNI) in Zipolite, Mexico, reveals that a significant number of Canadians are open to naturist activities. The study, conducted by Ipsos using a nationally representative sample, examined Canadians’ experiences and attitudes toward naturism and nudity. Findings show that 57% of respondents have or would sleep in the nude, while 46% are comfortable walking around their house without clothes. However, participation in public naturist spaces like nude beaches (10%) and naturist resorts (2%) remains much lower.
Interestingly, 70% of Canadians believe people should have the right to sunbathe or swim nude at designated nude beaches without government interference. FCN’s Stéphane Deschênes, who is also the president of INF-FNI, is quoted in the above article emphasizing that naturism promotes body acceptance and counters the negative effects of body-shaming prevalent on social media.


The case, which is a cause celebre for Berlin, opened in a fitting setting today. Five learned Judges were on the bench, with a battery of eight lawyers for, the defense entrenched in front of Celly and her dancing girls. The State's Attorney is supported by one lone, shocked witness so far--a certain Pastor Hoppe--and a flock of professors as experts in the morality of the art, including Professor Max von Schillins, one of the most distinguished living German composers, best known for his opera "Mona Lisa" and Director General of the Opera House. The general public was excluded, but reporters and representatives of children's welfare organizations were admitted.
The Presiding Judge first ordered a motion picture of the nude dances thrown on the screen which had been stretched in the courtroom, frequently stopping the reel for a closer examination, as well as to identify the defendants shown on the screen and to quiz them regarding exactly what articles of clothing, including beads, gauze streamers, &c., they had worn at each stage.
The questioning of the Court elicited the information that at first the dancers were relatively clad above the waist, but as the ballet went on their bodies were compeletely exposed. In the case of the last dance shown the Court's queries as to costume were superfluous, for Celly was flashed on the screen in the altogether.
On account of the heated atmosphere in the overcrowded courtroom the Court called it a day's work and decided to order a view,"in camera", of the original live ballet production, with music, at a local theatre on Thursday.
What is alleged to be the most offensive dance is a pantomime in which Celly appears, first fully clad as a mediaeval nun, who suddenly goes mad before a crucifix, sheds her nun's clothing completely and proceeds to execute a dance symbolic of delirium. This dance was actually performed in public repeatedly in 1919, until the flood of protests, principally from Catholics, on the ground of profanation and sacrilege, caused Celly to withdraw it from her repertoire. American visitors who have since seen her modified "beauty dances" say they never saw anything like them before. Among these American art experts were pillars of the community, mostly with wives and families across the Atlantic.
