Hamilton Mailbox Appeal

Q177: Will the City of Hamilton succeed in its appeal of the Ontario Superior Court decision regarding Canada Post community mailboxes?
Yes: 20%
(If the City is not granted leave to appeal, or drops the appeal, the answer will resolve as "no")

The City of Hamilton recently lost a decision regarding a by-law it had passed to control the locations of community mailboxes (see article here).  It has decided to appeal the decision (see article here).  From the articles, I have the strong sense that the appeal is not expected to be successful, and is being undertaken more for political reasons.  It seems to have lost the original decision in a fairly convincing manner.
