No but it seems silly, if not downright weird, to get so worked up about something so inconsequential to anyone's daily life to go out of ones way to create a petition about the issue.

How is it negatively impacting your community? Honestly it seems like you are going out of your way to be impacted by it while no one else particularly cares. Some people set up tents and have a model UN - do I think that they are being naive and foolish... you bet I do. Do I think that you are using this as an opportunity to promote your name and make it a bigger issue than it otherwise would be - once again, yes.

I am sure that the protesters feel the exact same way.

I am pretty sure he is being sarcastic, it seems to me as though you are a quasi-politician who is using this as a tool in order to gain prominence before a provincial election and your outrage is more directed towards the protesters rather than their flagrant disregard for city bylaws
