Am I the only one who thinks this is a horrible idea? For a law to be justified, it must protect someone from undue harm. Whilst I fully support laws that appropriately restrict what a protest may do (e.g noise bylaws), I cannot support a law that implies that protests are inherently harmful.
I would also suspect that such restrictions on freedom of movement, expression, and association would fail the Oakes test in court and thus be unconstitutional.
