Brampton's new bylaw prohibits protests near places of worship, ensuring rights to pray without intimidation. Mayor Brown emphasizes balancing protest rights with religious freedom.
The bylaw bans protests within 100 metres of places of worship if they intimidate, with fines ranging from $500 to $100,000 for violations.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association argues the bylaw could chill free speech, stressing the importance of civic space in a democratic society.
Mayor Brown states the law was developed with input from local religious leaders and police, aiming to address their concerns and ensure safety.
