To be fair, back a few months ago when they were still doing their weekly stupid "Freedom Rally" down 17th Ave every Saturday afternoon, it definitely felt like that. I remember it was during the Olympics, which I always like to support by wearing Canadian Olympic gear, and I recall feeling like I couldn't wear it on weekends when I'm off work because I'd probably get roped in with those clowns by people (I live just off 17th and usually stroll down it on weekends). It was frustrating.
Fortunately, since the City finally shut down the Idiots on Patrol parade, I feel like it's gotten away from that association again, thank god.
