Hold the parade without Council permission and challenge the Mayor to order the police to arrest all the Diggers (serving and retired) and their families!!
When the great city of Ottawa took over our municipalty in a big land and tax grab some years ago I was told I would have to pay a large fee to conduct the annual Remembrance Day parade (I was organising on behalf of the Legion).
I told them I would see them on the front pages of the national news and got a call back in short order saying that fees for veterans' parades would be waived!
At least our politicians realised they were in an indefensible position unlike the idiot Mayor downunda'.
Remember 'poly' is the Greek word for "many" and ticks are blood sucking parasites!!
Cheers and Ubique! Mike
