A Canadian court has ruled part of a Vancouver city bylaw unconstitutional after it was used to dismantle a protest display. Last year the city used the bylaw to take down a display set up by Falun Gong practitioners near the Chinese consulate. The display had been part of the group’s ongoing protest against the Chinese regime’s persecution of their spiritual practice. Since 2001 practitioners of Falun Gong in Vancouver, Canada have set up banners and a small makeshift hut in front of the Chinese Consulate. The demonstration soon turned into a 24-hour vigil to protest against the Chinese regime’s persecution of the spiritual practice. Last year, the city of Vancouver obtained an injunction to remove the structure, saying it violated a city bylaw that prohibited structures to be built on city streets. The practitioners appealed, arguing their demonstration was a form of political expression protected by Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedom. On Tuesday, the British Columbia Court of Appeal agreed. In an unanimous decision, the three-judge panel struck down section 71 of the bylaw, saying it is, quote, “of no force and effect insofar as it is inconsistent with freedom of expression.” The court gave the city six months to review the bylaw and city policies. Under the current rules, Falun Gong practitioners can seek approval to rebuild and set up a new protest structure, that is, if the city doesn’t bring in a new bylaw within the six-month period.

Since 1979, Vancouverites have been reclaiming waterfront’s industrial land on both sides of False Creek. The south side was virtually an industrial wasteland under the Granville Bridge. Now, Granville Island is a spectacular shopping, dining and entertainment market that is easily reached by car, bus, boat or bike, from any part of the city. A scenic way to get there is to ride the tiny Aquabus ferries from Vancouver’s downtown core and enjoy the waterfront landscape as you travel to this bustling tourist and shopper’s haven.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Vancouver, Canada by TravelPod blogger Benleah titled “Oh Canada! Bear sightings in British Columbia.” Benleah’s travel blog entry: “VANCOUVER Ben Reporting: We arrive in Vancouver, after a reasonably short bus trek a couple of hours north from Seattle USA, across the border into Canada. This is our fourth country since we started, not including Australia, and we’re excited to be offered a different culture, if only slightly. While Canadians don’t do things all that differently from their southern brethren, there are a few exceptions. I find Canadians a little more courteous and laid back (not to say that the American’s weren’t friendly) but in customer service situations in Canada, we didn’t feel like we were in the way. Also, in Canada they use one and two dollar coins (which the Canadian’s for some odd reason call Looneys and Toonies) instead of dollar notes as in the US. This may seem a small difference, but it really helps in being able to manage your money, especially in being aware of how much you have on your person. There’s also a slight accent difference between America and Canada – Canadian English has definite influences of Scottish and French in it. So even though the variances might be inconsequential, being in Canada allowed us to feel we were venturing into new and undiscovered territory. So to Vancouver; our first, impressive impression of Canada. The bus drops us off at Vancouver airport, where we pick …
