A Raelian-founded women's rights group plans to hold topless demonstrations this weekend and hopes two federal party leaders will support its cause.
The GoTopless organization, founded in the U.S. by the Raelian Movement, has asked Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair to support the right of women to bare their breasts in public.
"We invite Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Mulcair to speak out on women's right to be bare-breasted wherever men are given this right," GoTopless spokeswoman Sylvie Chabot said in a press release Wednesday.
On Sunday, the organization will hold a topless rally in Montreal and a walk in Vancouver "so that never again will women be humiliated or prohibited from sunbathing topless wherever men can, or be reprimanded when breastfeeding in public," Chabot said.
Going topless is legal in Ontario and B.C.
Raelism is a religious movement founded in 1974. Followers believe an extraterrestrial civilization called Elohim created mankind. The movement embraces nudity and freedom of expression.

This guy is a con artist to the extreme.
I saw his 'museum' in Valcourt Quebec. I was told he would drive around in a convertible with his followers preaching about masterbating and them masterbating in the car.

MONTREAL - A UFO-based religion called Raelianism, whose followers believe that life on Earth was created by an alien science experiment, was behind a rally on Sunday to protest the stigma of women going topless in public.
There were about two dozen women at the protest, along with several shirtless men showing support by wearing bras.
Onlookers taking cellphone pictures of the topless women outnumbered protesters.
Go Topless Day was founded in 2007 by Rael, the spiritual leader of the Raelians, and Sunday’s event was the second Go Topless rally in Montreal.
"As long as men are allowed to be topless in public,” Rael says on the GoTopless.org website, “women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests."
“It’s a question of discrimination,” said Sylvie Chabot, a Raelian priest who is the Canadian co-ordinator of the Go Topless movement. “Why do we ask about women and not men?”
According to Chabot, there is currently no official law on the books banning women from being topless.
“We want to have this taboo disappear,” Chabot said. “Women have been oppressed for decades.”

Wait. . . going topless is a constitutional right?

Missed that one in law school.
