Big Guns Fire on the Proposed Nuisance Bylaw

It took some time but the Canadian Civil Liberties Association finally got wind of the proposed nuisance bylaw in Guelph, and has come out strongly against a number of the bylaw's more controversial measures.

According to its website, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is a national organization constituted to promote respect for and observance of fundamental human rights and civil liberties, and to defend, extend, and foster recognition of these rights and liberties.

They conclude that "significant portions of the proposed bylaw are contrary to the rights of freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly that are protected by the Canadian Charter."
