Canadians donāt want to become the 51st state for many reasonsāsafeguarding our Charter-protected freedoms is one of them. So why are Councillor Bradford and others pushing for a Trump-style bylaw to limit our freedom to protest in Toronto? Take action: progresstoronto.ca/petition-proteā¦

We agree, Brad. People deserve to be safeāthatās why we have laws on harassment that police themselves have said are sufficient. This bylaw wouldnāt solve these issues. Constitutional experts say this bylaw would violate the Charter. The police say they donāt need a bylaw ā¬ļø



ā[The bylaw] is either unnecessary or unconstitutionalā Councillor Bradford insists a bylaw restricting your freedom to protest wonāt violate your Charter rights. But constitutional expert James Turk sets the record straight ā¬ļø Watch & sign: progresstoronto.ca/petition-proteā¦
