Wish that Judge lived close to where this noisy disruption occurred for weeks on end, resulting in businesses being shut down and jobs lost!!
The Ottawa Citizens have the rights to:
Right to protest, but other rights too
There is a strong case being made for the right to protest by Canadians. But there are other rights to consider:
• Ottawa taxpayers’ right to have access to all their roads, businesses, condominiums etc.
• The right to go to work for people employed on Parliament Hill, at the Château Laurier, Rideau Centre or even Tim Hortons.
• The right of businesses to welcome customers and recoup their capital investment made on promises from the city for uninterrupted basic services.
• The right of tenants and condominium owners around downtown to have noise-free, hassle-free access to nearby roads and services and their own property.
• The right of all Ottawa taxpayers to have access to emergency services such as paramedics, fire and ambulance
• Even tourists have a right to access their hotels and the major Ottawa sites.
