Personally I am against it. The general medical opinion is that routine circumcision is not necessary. It is no longer covered by Ontario's Health Insurance Plan.

@chrisCA The baby circumcision rate in Ontario is still 40-45%, despite the fact that it has to be paid for privately.
The Canadian Medical Association's stance re routine infant circumcision is not as strong as I would like it to be.
The rate in Alberta is also 40-45%. 20% in BC, 12% in Quebec (mainly anglophones, I suspect). Low in Manitoba and SK, nonexistent in the Maritimes. Overall rate, 32%.
Canada is practically the only first world nation where there is a rich mix of cut and intact men. Canadian women are likely to have dated both kinds of men, and what they have to say about the sexual advantages conferred by the male foreskin, is very interesting.
