              The appropriate relating case involves
              the City of Toronto charging a citizen
              with vandalism for placing posters on
              various utility poles*. The case went to
              trial and the judge ruled that the citizen
              was protected by the constitution and his
              right to freely express him/her self. 

              The general  conclusion was that by
              removing utility poles and posters from
              the poor as a means of expression removes
              what is often their only medium. The same
              reasoning can be easily applied here because
              in fact this is my only media outlet. And
              by closing it off my rights are infringed.
