Bubble law: In May, city council passed a bylaw allowing schools, places of worship and childcare centres to apply to restrict demonstrations within 50 metres of those venues. The fine for breaking the bylaw is up to $5,000.

From the Article:

Edmonton city council reluctantly voted to continue a public hearing next week — their vacation period — after Friday evening's debate led to swears being thrown.

The marathon meetings have stretched all week, as council reviews its zoning bylaw one year after a major overhaul.

On Friday, councillors spoke about work-life balance, with some saying they would be on vacation without internet next week. Then, a heated exchange occurred, after Ward Sspomitapi Coun. Jo-Anne Wright commented about how experienced councillors might have expected the meeting eating into their vacation time.

"From what I understand… this is a normal course of business with things ramping up, and I would think that maybe the incumbents would be aware of that," Wright said.

Ward sipiwiyiniwak Coun. Sarah Hamilton, who said she'd be away and unable to attend the meeting, swore in her response.

"That was so f--king rude. F--k you, Jo-Anne Wright. F--k you," she said.

The closest I ever got was saying something like that at customs. The Border guard asked me "Why are you coming to the US?" and it was 3 years into Trump's first term and all I could think of was "Because they pay me to." He laughed and waved me through.
