A legal advocacy group says the City of Ottawa’s move to prevent Rolling Thunder biker convoy participants from accessing a designated downtown area with their vehicles this weekend is unconstitutional.
“We write to caution the City that its intention to enforce a ‘motor vehicle exclusion zone’ would be a gravely unjustified and unlawful restriction on Canadians’ freedoms of expression, association, and peaceful assembly guaranteed under the Charter,” writes lawyer Hatim Kheir of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms in an open letter to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson on April 29.
