So, CUPE is now in my neighbourhood. I drive past them every day, twice a day at the new temporary garbage dump. (You know the City Centre Anchor site where the Casino SHOULD be?) I see them, in their lawn chairs, sitting around chatting and a very few standing, with signs, blocking the tax paying citizen from entering or exiting, just long enough to be a annoying. So, is sunbathing on City sidewalks legal?




Below is the Criminal Code of Canada... the relevant sections in bold.

hmmmmmmmm...
