Burning question

When was last time the Leader-Post (or any other media outlet) worried about the right of citizens to go about their lives without being "hassled" by corporate logos or advertisers?

Indeed, I'd think the L-P's editorial makes for a watershed moment. Apparently even the long-standing statement that "the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread" is a bit too egalitarian for Regina's main media outlet; instead, it's now clear that begging in the streets is acceptable only if it's done by a corporate entity.

Update: Carle Steel goes to town. You read.
