Toronto council approves ‘bubble zone’ bylaw limiting protests

After more than a year of debate, Toronto city council approved a controversial motion on Thursday to limit protests outside places of worship, schools and child-care centres.

The bylaw, which will come into effect July 2, allows owners of these institutions to apply for temporary zones of 50 metres within which protests would be banned. This is an increase over staff’s initial recommendation of 20 metres. According to city staff, there are 3,000 buildings in Toronto that could qualify.

Our Men in Blue have proven very effective at arresting Pro-Life demonstrators who run afoul of abortion clinic bubble zone restrictions.

Why am I doubtful they will deal as effectively with incursions from the same politically connected LPC-NDP-Hamas alliance?
