Bedard by-law meeting tonight

This notice was apparently sent out by Councillor Georges Bédard's office. There's a public meeting at City Hall tonight about the "nuisance" by-law, which, among other things, would make swearing on public punishable by a $300 fine.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
MAINTAINING SAFETY
AND HARMONY
ON CITY STREETS
Consideration is being given to the possibility of amending
the Use and Care of Roads By-law to include provisions
that would prohibit disorderly conduct on City streets or
prohibit activity that would interfere with the general public
using City streets or with adjacent property owners.
We would welcome public comment on the subject and invite
you to attend a meeting to share your views, as follows:
Thursday, April 22, 2010
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West
Andrew Haydon Hall (Council Chambers)
Comments may also be submitted in writing by May 31,
2010, by fax at 613-580-2719 or by e-mail to Christine.
Hartig@ottawa.ca. For more information, please contact
Ms. Hartig 613-580-2424, ext. 25629.

I've spent enough mental energy on City Hall this week, and am going to skip this meeting, fun as I'm sure it will be.
