This photo isn't making the point you think it's making. The police and city response to a small, peaceful and silent protest with small paper signs is heavy handed, disproportionate, unjustified, and the policy itself prohibiting these signs unconstitutional.

I arrived safely home this morning from the middle east, where I had planned travel for the next 10 days. Relieved to be home and thinking how fortunate I am to live in Canada. Thinking of all the innocent people caught in the conflict and wishing them strength and security.
