Ramsden v Peterborough (City of), [1993] 2 SCR 1084 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision where the Court struck down a bylaw prohibiting all postering on public property on the grounds that it violated freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Kenneth Ramsden was charged on two separate occasions placing posters on hydro poles advertising his band.

However, on appeal to the Court of Appeal for Ontario the decision was overturned and it was held that the bylaw was in violation of the right to freedom of expression and could not be saved under section 1 of the Charter.

He stated that section 2(b) is violated where a law, in either purpose or effect, limits expression.

Iacobucci found that even though the purpose of the bylaw was meritious, the absolute ban was not justifiable.
