If you aren't upset with the manner in which City Hall is controlled, then you should be upset with the following:
On September 15, 2009 the Ottawa Taxpayer Advocacy Group reserved the Champlain room at City Hall for a discussion with Councillor Marianne Wilkinson and Councillor Alex Cullen.
The public was invited.
One of invitees carried with him a sign opposing City Hall and its methods of governing, The physical sign complied with City Hall policy, except for the fact that the sign was "not bilingual", and only written in "English"..
A security guard quickly advised the guest to get rid of it or the guest would be expelled from City Hall.
There was much discussion and disbielf by those who were heard the confrontation.
Now, I don't know about you, but this is Canada. I can speak or write in any language that I want.
In this case, I do believe that Ottawa City Hall procedures have restricted the right of its citizens.
City Councillors again let the citizens down for allowing such a thing to happen.
