The applicant brought applications for judicial review challenging the City of Guelph's decisions to remove three anti-abortion advertisements from its public buses.
The City had relied on rulings by Ad Standards, which found the advertisements to be misleading and demeaning to women.
The Divisional Court held that the City's decisions were unreasonable because it failed to conduct the balancing exercise required by the Doré/Loyola framework, which requires weighing the City's legislative objectives against the applicant's section 2(b) Charter right to freedom of expression.
The matter was remitted back to the City for reconsideration.
