Okay, I dig the sentiment. But the methodology? As you're witnessing with the comments above, bylaw enforcement is the playground of ratepayers' associations, neighbourhood nimbies and petty bickerfest partygoers. It is the part of town where people go to inhibit diversity and frustrate initiative. "I am offended" is the war-cry. In other words, it is not the way to encourage development and growth.

But as I said, I appreciate the sentiment behind this movement. Might I suggest that the fallen be honoured not with a march but with a show? A lot of shows, in fact, weekly guerilla movies projected against the walls of downtown buildings from the vacant lots next door. Call them the Century & Tivoli Guerilla Movies. No admission charge, but money raised selling popcorn and soft drinks go to a neighbourhood re-development fund. A lot more fun and, I believe, more effective.

Just a thot.
