Does Section 403 of the Ontario Penal Code and Elections Code prohibit or restrict speech on certain subjects at meetings?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from CPR for Skid Row v. City of L.A., 779 F.3d 1098 (9th Cir. 2015):

The exceptions here, however, distinguish certain types of meetings, not speech on certain subjects at those meetings. Neither Penal Code 302 nor Elections Code 18340 pertains to speech itself. They pertain to the contexts in which speech is regulated. The statute is silent with respect to what subject matter of speech may or may not be spoken at such meetings. Indeed, the exemptions from 403 for religious or electoral meetings are more accurately differences in the standard for disruptive speech rather than actual exceptions. For the same reasons, 403 also does not prohibit or protect specific messages, as did the flag-burning statute at issue in United States v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310, 110 S.Ct. 2404, 110 L.Ed.2d 287 (1990).
