oh, for fuck's sake

First thing I read over my morning (well, ok, afternoon) cup of coffee is this nonsense.

Never let it be said that any country in the world has the patent on asshat ideas.

For other Toronto people reading this: [livejournal.com profile] orkillme has some links in this post to the relevant People In Charge. I intend to write some polite but firm letters outlining exactly what I think of Fantino's bloody bylaw.

If you haven't already, take a look at the Charter
( http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/ )
and what it has to say about "Freedom of Peaceful Assembly" and "Presumed Inncoent until Proven guilty".

'Cos it looks to me like that By-Law would violate those two, and probably more.

& that in turn means that the By-Law could be challenged in court and the City would have to spend money on listening to it getting struck down 'cos the Supreme Court is very aggresively liberal in it's rulings.

Which means the City wasting more money that it doesn't have.
