Calgary introduces new street harassment bylaw

As of Wednesday morning, the city will be able to issue $500 fines for any harassment involving race, religion, gender or other factors.

Yes a deterrent to anyone speaking to anyone else.

Good luck, you cant stop real crime in the city, but lets pass laws on street harassment, that can't be in forced, because of the way harassment works.

[danielsydenham]

What happens when the cops are the ones harassing individuals, like I've seen throughout every freedom protest in Calgary ? What happens then ??

[michaelashbury]

Enforcement officers will be wearing
Clown shoes rite lol
When is this peanut gallery going to start addressing the real issues in this city

[TKnHappyNess]

Here come all the Entitled Karens with their false claims

[Geopublic]

Does this mean I will no longer be harassed outside Tim Hortons by people who demand to share my coffee and Timbits. Or outside Shoppers Drug Mart for my pocket change or in my car as I navigate the A&W drive thru? Wonderful.

[aRAPPERandaGENIUS]

Oh a law based off he said she said. This will never backfire………..

[mickeyandres]

“Street harassment” wth we have harassment laws already on the books for anywhere there is harassment…..
This is such unnecessary woke BS.

[rayl]

The city of Calgary should change its name to The city of Karen’s

[vdetroit]

i guess there are no cowboys left in Calgary

[sandymc]

They can't stop drug trafficking causing death but they can spend their time investigating street harrassment! Makes sense right????

Get Trudeau to dress up and he can read a story to the children and teach how to break all the canadian laws. After all he is a teacher.

[Camcatchesdinks]

Didn’t this come into place after Trudeau came to town and had people yelling at him 😂

[mrchips]

So I can call 311 when I’m accosted by a belligerent drug addict?

[Jim-wj]

My feeling are costing you your freedom

[raymak]

rather than handing out fines, why not to lashes from a whip?

[stumckenzie]

Since when did calling people out for what they are is wrong 🤭

Born in Calgary in 1980. 7th generation Albertan. Some other stuff people like.
As a 7th generation Albertan. Seeing what has happened to my home. I inherit my family land soon. We will no longer grow food for this country. You will see a significant area go up in flames. Whatever the cost to me personally my family is not paying for this garbage ever again!

[darioz]

More of Jyoti Gondek's woke BS. When a Uber driver of Middle Eastern descent, cut me off and called me white trash, I wonder if he would get a ticket ? Probably not 🤣

[AJAX]

What are the "other factors"?
