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.

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.
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.
It sounds innocuous and simple but it isn't. This is a good explanation:

I guess if it goes to the SCC, it's establishing precedent that goes beyond just Toronto
