Ottawa Public Library faces court challenge over cancellation of controversial film

06/14/2018

The organizer of a screening of the controversial film Killing Europe at the Ottawa Public Library last November has applied for a judicial review of the library's decision to cancel the showing. Madeline Weld, Ottawa chapter leader of ACT! For Canada, claims in her application, which was filed Monday in Toronto, that the library's decision to cancel "violated (her) constitutional right to free expression" as well as the rights of the audience to see the film.
