The applicant, a candidate in a federal election, sought an injunction to prevent the respondent municipality from enforcing its election sign by-law against him and from organizing candidates' debates without his participation.
The applicant argued that city staff were unlawfully removing his compliant signs.
The court dismissed the application, finding that exempting the applicant from the by-law would be untenable and unfair to other candidates, and that the prospect of the city organizing an exclusionary debate was highly speculative.
No costs were awarded.
