To be honest, I have no issue with them putting up no fishing signs along the front of their own stretch of boardwalk where half a dozen big tourist boats dock or they have 2000 people attending a music event. I also understand that it's prudent money management for them to choose which activities to promote with their limited funds. I just don't accept they have the right to impose a blanket ban on fishing just because they find it "aesthetically undesirable" in some way, especially when it is listed as an acceptable activity in the Toronto waterfront brochures, and they paid for most of the new boardwalks.

They're going to have a hard time citing public saftey issues if I fish the Spadina platform at 7am on a Sunday and I'm the only person around.

Let's hope the motion is carried as a start in the right direction.
