In Quebec, a judge ruled that giving someone the middle finger is a person’s right to express themselves. The case came about after a man named Neall Epstein was arrested for flipping the bird at his neighbor during an argument in 2021. The judge said the act was not a crime and was part of free speech, even if it’s offensive. The case started when the neighbor complained, but the court decided Epstein didn’t break any laws. The judge emphasized that people can express their feelings this way without facing legal trouble, calling it a “God-given right.” In other words, let those fingers fly north of the border.
