Alberta is well known as Canada's Tejas. Or as some of the more arrogant Albertans' believe: Tejas is US Amercia's Alberta.

And I will point out that in spite of Calgary's proclivity for electing Conservatives and providing our dear leader PM to Canada, we also have an insanely popular probably gay but definitely Muslim mayor who mocks wingnuts on twitter daily. It ain't your daddy's Calgary so much anymore.

Yeah, but those fines are in Canadian dollars, not real money.

Climate- and attitude-wise, BC is their California. Let that sink in for a second. Their very best weather is comparable to Seattle. Long, dark, wet, gloomy, gray winters are as good as it gets for the whole country.

This ia really funny!

What's even funnier is § 67 of The Criminal Code of Canada, viz.

67. A person who is

(a) a justice, mayor or sheriff, or the lawful deputy of a mayor or sheriff,

(b) a warden or deputy warden of a prison, or

(c) the institutional head of a penitentiary, as those expressions are defined in subsection 2(1) of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, or that person’s deputy,

who receives notice that, at any place within the jurisdiction of the person, twelve or more persons are unlawfully and riotously assembled together shall go to that place and, after approaching as near as is safe, if the person is satisfied that a riot is in progress, shall command silence and thereupon make or cause to be made in a loud voice a proclamation in the following words or to the like effect:

Her Majesty the Queen charges and commands all persons being assembled immediately to disperse and peaceably to depart to their habitations or to their lawful business on the pain of being guilty of an offence for which, on conviction, they may be sentenced to imprisonment for life. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

(It's known as "reading the riot act.}

Peace, order & good government dudes.

Yeah, that would be cruel and unusual punishment even under a real constitution.

Well, if Tabor is like any small Canadian town I've ever visited that will be a very lucrative set of bylaws. Just the swearing in public should have coffers overflowing.
