Nearly a year after Calgary implemented its mandatory mask bylaw, city councillors have voted to repeal most of the city's mask rules.

As soon as stampede is over and the politicians pocket the kickbacks the masks will be back.
🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
And Lockdown, don’t forget
💯
Im done wearing masks.. Its as useless as our government!
Everybody should boycott the Calgary stampede. It’s a complete waste of money.
Meanwhile, the mask mandate in Toronto rolls on . . .
But hey at least the mayor is blowing 6.3 million on renaming a street ! 😭
@Jack Theladd OMG. I live an hour away, and my friends literally have to trick me to go there. Last time they asked if i wanted to go paintballing, then he drove onto the 401 and i was like NOOOOOOOOOO!
Mandatory mask policies for OUTDOOR events where social distancing is easy to accommodate. It’s like living in the twilight zone
Because we are fkn smart!!!!!
@Vapez 😂
Nenshi is so disappointed that he can’t force Calgarians to wear a mask until literally 2022.
Nenshi loves his face diapers.
He literally voted to appeal the bylaw
@Kiel Widmeyer Yes, because Kenney removed the provincial mandate. Otherwise Calgary’s mask mandate would still be in place.
@Jo Boyd That wouldn’t surprise me!
2025
Australia just relocked down. It’s winter there. Just wait till flu season and let’s see what happens.
@Speaking Moistly and the government there is just as corrupt as our government. Go back to sleep.
Australia have been lockdown the international border much strict than Canada though.
@Speaking Moistly I was shocked by that. I thought they were pumping them out
Yeah we’ll be back in the masks by September I’m sure….
@Annette for fitness , as well as dealing with the omega foxtrot Charlie variant .
Don’t get used to it
I find it ironic that the councillor against it isn’t even wearing her mask correctly.
To those who want to keep wearing masks, nobody’s stopping you.
@Ewen Chan lol I’d laugh very closely to your face
@Ewen Chan You can get Covid from a T-shirt? Wow, that’s new. Do you have any references?
@Dylan Anderson
I’d welcome your laughter!
@James Peterson
How dumb do you have to be to think that you can contract SARS-CoV-2 from a T-shirt???
LOLLLL……
@Kellie P.
“It soups sanitary!”
Where did you learn English???
Now it’s a personal opinion….lol
Masks in city facilities, and transit…..but movie theatres, and restaurants are okay……no science or logic from these fools. 🤦♂️ I’d love to see the studies that show covid spreads on transit but not restaurants.
Check your mayors bank accounts and where all the moneys come from🤔
@Herbert PIlgrim If your talking about Mayor Nenshi you don’t have to look any further than his waistline for his corruption lol.
hhhaha so true
@Matthew Leclaire: You are so right, I’ve been calling that “Covid Logic” for a while now such as its safe on the playing field but not in the audience, it’s safe to sit at a table in a restaurant but not to stand up, safe to gather in one place but not another, and the list goes on.
They should have a Groucho Marx Glasses and Nose mandate. Comedy Pandemic
Looks like western Canada is the place to be. Quebec and Ontario still require a face diaper, getting quite ridiculous.
July 6th, 2021. Only 2 new cases in Ottawa.. And we still have a mask bylaw..
SK Is done July 11th 👏
So does Manitoba. 😡😡
Ontario and Quebec are the reasons Canada is in so much debt and why my country is going down hill.
About time someone in politics grew a spine and stood up to this nonsense.
He’s wearing a purple germ mask like why would you wear that
Can’t wait to go on a road trip next month 😅☺️☺️
It’s about bloody time the masks went away for this Casedemic! Yahoo! Been way too long…
so lets pretend that wearing in the places they are still wanting them has anything to do with anything ???… better than 100 per cent masks I guess..???
If that lady wants to keep wearing her mask there is nothing stopping her.
The problem is those types of folks usually want to impose their paranoia and hypochondria onto everyone else.
That lady wearing her mask said, “It protects me.”
Looks like she didn’t get the memo.
Research is mixed. Hers is a reasonable position to hold.
@Krikit If “research is mixed”, I’m thinking that not wearing masks at all would be safe, because some research says that masks are useless.
@Krikit No, it isn’t. If masks worked, then there should be some correlation between the implementation of mask mandates and subsequent case counts.
There is NO such correlation anywhere.
While correlation is not necessarily causation, if there is NO correlation there CANNOT be causation.
@Krikit The masks provide no protection, and limit spread or transmission of disease by a minimal amount . The largest number I’ve seen on a study prior to 2020 is 1.8% . Statistically meaningless in a so called pandemic.
How do you “ease into” stopping the mask mandate? Require them to be worn over the mouth only?
One nostril maybe at the start and then maybe go just to the mouth
maybe this fall they’ll mandate them over the eyes
I had the most wonderful interaction in the store today. Another shopper and I smiled at each other the biggest smiles we could muster and then proceeded to talk about how great it was to smile at each other with more than our eyes. We complimented each other and went on our way.
“It protects me”
in non-medical surgical mask that filters nothing.
