Whats the city coming to, a gentelmen takes 2 xmas trees to the landfill for recycling, even though they are tied down in the back of his truck, he gets a 500 dollar fine for no tarp on a "loose materials" load...
What the hell is goiing on in the minds of the people who work for the city? Lets assrape every citizen we can for money?..Meanwhile any truck with a "hauling for city of Calgary" drives around with impunity.. 4 or 5 years ago I lost a windshield due to melon sized rock coming through the glass at head level, all I got from the city was the phone number runaround game, till I gave up and just went away.Yes large commercial trucks with gravel tarp, some homeower being responsible with his recycling, no... It shouldnt be that tough to apply sucha bylaw like that.
This money raping stuff has to to stop, its just getting ridiculous, pretty soon its gonna be a 300 dollar fine for breaking wind...
I say this, whenever you see a city truck with anything in or on the back of it untarped, call it in to the police with the licence plate and see what they say, follow it to see if gets pulled over....
I am just sick of this blatant pick pocketing.....Send a email to Dave "the marrrionnette" Bronconnier to while your at it too....
