COVID Madness in Calgary — Moslem Mayor Imposes Another Year of Forced Masking & Increases Fines for Dissenters
[If you thought the arrival of the COVID vaccines might mean an end to lockdowns and masks, you were deluded, mislead and wrong. Masks were never about protecting people. They are virtually useless. They were all about CONTROL and scaring or threatening people into conformity. Calgary’s is in for another year of forced masks and fierce fines for dissenters. Once the heart of the rugged Western individualist, poor old Calgary is now just another communist style Medico-Stalinist tyranny! The Mayor and six councillors who voted for repression MUST be defeated on principle in the next municipal election.]
Under the new bylaw, masks will be mandatory in most non-residential places until December 2021.

CALGARY: Mayor Naheed Nenshi led Calgary’s City Council in voting to extend the mandatory mask bylaw for a year and double fines for non-compliance.
Under the new bylaw, masks will be mandatory in most non-residential places until December 2021.
Fines were also doubled by the council, up to $100 for a first time offence, $200 for a second offence, and $300 for a third.
The council approved the new bylaw by a 9-3 vote, with conservative councillors Jeromy Farkas, Sean Chu, and Joe Magliocca opposed, and Nenshi and the remaining councillors present in favour.
The year-long extension and increase in fines comes on the heals of persistent ‘Freedom Marches’ on Saturdays in opposition to lockdowns and mask-mandates.
Nenshi strongly condemned the marches, but supported Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests during the summer.
Calgary’s move to extend the bylaw came after Alberta’s UCP government imposed a province-wide mandatory mask law and full lockdown that will last at least into the new year.
These measures are facing a constitutional challenge from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
The City of Edmonton extended its mandatory mask bylaw for an entire year in late November.
