Ban Comic Sans OntarioDear Brothers and Sisters in the Movement:
You may be pleased to know that the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) included the clause "Ban the font known as Comic Sans" in its recent omnibus
ban bill, proposed at the 2005 session of Ontario Model Parliament in Canada.
After the governing Liberals and opposition Conservatives both opposed other parts of the omnibus legislation, the NDP caucus proposed a motion to sever
the bill, which would result in a separate vote on the Comic Sans ban (recognizing the importance of this issue). Unfortunately, unanimous consent was not obtained
from the House, and the bill was voted on as a whole.
Ultimately, the omnibus bill was only supported by the entire NDP caucus (eight members of Provincial Parliament), and opposed by all other members.
The struggle continues.
In Solidarity, NDP Against Comic Sans
