Bubble Zone Bylaw Passes, Unlikely to Withstand Charter Challenge

Bubble law: In May, city council passed a bylaw allowing schools, places of worship and childcare centres to apply to restrict demonstrations within 50 metres of those venues. The fine for breaking the bylaw is up to $5,000.

I’m really sick of laws that are passed fully knowing they breach the charter - with the proponents able to achieve their time-limited political ends, and the only consequence is spending public money on a few years of pointless legal defence.

This is quite Toronto specific. Not sure it really fits in /c/Canada.
I don't live in Ontario and I'm concerned about the erosion of civil liberties in other parts of Canada.
That is a good point. It's one of the largest centres making law that could be used elsewhere.
Eh personally I sort of support this. It's literally only 50m.
It's exactly what we needed during COVID with the idiots blocking access to hospitals.
Or people harassing clinics and women over abortions.
I guess if it goes to the SCC, it's establishing precedent that goes beyond just Toronto
