Ottawa: A smelly act of civil disobedience will cost a frustrated opponent of the pop-up supervised injection site in Raphael Brunet Park $260. He was protesting against the unsanctioned illegal tent operated by Overdose Prevention Ottawa.
Guy Annable was ticketed after he dumped 400 pounds of horse manure in the park Thursday afternoon in what he said was an act of civil disobedience against the “hypocrisy” and “lack of leadership in this city.”
“We’ve been actively pursuing our elected officials for the past 42 days … to no avail,” Annabele said. “They’ve been there for 42 days with no ticket, I got mine within four hours.”
Ottawa’s mayor and police chief both agree the site should move, but city officials say they can’t direct police to take action, and they’ve left it in the hands of by-law officers.
