Free speech on transit; no more.

[mr2mike]

If two guys want to talk about ass pounding each other, guess that can only take place in an art room now.

Jokes aside this is a pretty serious infringement on speech.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right. Yikes.

You will think like you're supposed to think comrade, this is Canada.

Yet another reason on the long list of reasons not to take transit.

Almighty Jyo-heed Nen-dek has decreed that you will only say what zhey/zhem/zhat tell you to say, comrade

You'll have nothing and be OK with it

There is no way this charge will stick. None. I'm not a lawyer but I did watch law and order a lot.

[suntan]

I watched LA Law, no way this sticks.

Jimmy Smits? Certified badass over here.

That ticket is solely based off witness information. IF it even makes it to court, that'll get absolutely destroyed. My guess is the fairy that made the complaint would be too intimidated to even go to court as a witness anyway and skip out thus ticket getting tossed.

God, what a pussy.

[max_boost]

Wonder what the conversation was about
This seems cwazy
I think of the guy who would sit on the subway with fake book titles lol116259

[mr2mike]

Probably pickle tickles and cork soaking.

Sad that police can’t be there when people are stabbed on c-trains yet have resources to come and handcuff regular people having a private conversation.

[msommers]

Hang on. What exactly was said during this conversation?


The two individuals report “having had a private conversation on the C-train with a like-minded passenger” while traveling to the march in a nearly empty train car.

Based on where they’re going, my guess is they’re bitching about LGBT, pronoun use. That’s what the gondek bylaw specifically targets.

Words are violence, and they hurt more than getting stabbed.
