What am I missing?

It's the stupid inefficient process that waste everyone's time for something that's supposed to be fast.

For example, drive thru should be exempt. If you want to use your own bag or no bag, pick it up in store.

In a 10-5 vote, council supported a motion to hold a public hearing to consider repealing the bylaw and bring back a better plan to handle waste management.

A public hearing is required to consider repealing a bylaw that has already been voted for and implemented. The motion calls for a new plan and report to be submitted to council no later than March 31, but the bylaw will stay in place much longer than that.

The 5 who voted against it are all females.

No wonder females belong in the kitchen making sandwiches.

I think one of the courtneys is a dude.

[Misterman]

They can make the sandwhichs, but not bag them apparently.

[pheoxs]

Why are you all so cynical this entire thing has been a huge win for council hitting their goals. They managed to piss everyone off and now they'll also get to spend even more doing additional hearings and revaluations. Probably high 5's all around for their hard days of work.

Seems as if Calgary crowd is either more opposed to it or is at least more vocal about it than compared to Edmonton. Don't recall any objections coming out of Edmonton or them re-considering this stupid shit at all.

Yes he's our Ward 8 councillor. If you wanted to see what woke folks do in power positions, look no further. He's the most smiley dictator yet, easily in the realm of Ferrell.

A fun post I saw on FB the other day:

City of Calgary – Your Local Government When will you realize that the current infrastructure in older inner city neighbourhoods - Courtney Walcott - Your Ward 8 City Councillor, does not support the population density increase?

Courtney Walcott, you have been non-existent in recognizing citizens concerns about population density.

In fact, after a council hearing on a major development in Marda Loop which was voted against and deafeted by council regarding infrastructure concerns, you then requested it to be appealed.

After the appeal, it was approved. You disappointed many people by not hearing our concerns.

Let it be know, your support within Ward 8 is extremely lacking. Do you even live in the neighbourhood? It appears you do not understand citizens in Ward 8.

When I inquired about the parking permit changes, he had his liaison give me a canned response. He's also the twat that spearheaded the entire campaign as well.

This is what we get from a person with an Arts Degree.

All the bags I pay for are promptly thrown out the window when I'm finished. Thanks Gondek for making me litter more.

[dirtsniffer]

Councillors Courtney Walcott, Kourtney Penner, Gian-Carlo Carra, Jasmine Mian and Mayor Jyoti Gondek all voted against the motion to start the repeal process.

4 of the idiots are no surprise and no idea who the 5th is

[ExtraSlow]

it's the mayor. Some brown lady.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

For a mayor that’s so concerned about the environment, she sure doesn’t follow what she preaches in her personal life.

[Disoblige]

All I wonder is whose wet dream is a world with $0.15 baggies?

Fuck the bow and fuck any body of water that identifies as a river. Fuck them right in their tributaries.

Was at the Stephen ave McDonalds on the weekend at 2am when all the pubs shut down and I've never seen such disorganized chaos. The staff was in complete shambles trying to deal with all the orders. Without using bags, they didn't have a system to consolidate people's items into orders to keep them flowing out and it was just a mess of items everywhere. Took 15-20 minutes just to get some fries. At some point all we could do is laugh how terribly it was going as there was a lot of really upset customers having meltdowns.

Poster child McDonald's for what drugs do to society.
You're lucky they put a handle back on the door for you.

Had soup for lunch. My wood spoon flattened from the heat. Thanks Greta.
