Town in Canada forbids swearing, spitting and yelling
Quote:
A new bylaw that bans public swearing, spitting and yelling in Taber, Alberta, means residents could be slapped with a $150 dollar fine for dropping the F-bomb.
But the bylaw doesn't stop there -- it also bans playing music in public which "disturbs or annoys a person" and gives authorities the right to break up assemblies of three or more persons in a public place.
That's why the citizens group Save Us Bacon is arguing that Taber needs a hero. And that hero, they say, is Kevin Bacon.
I heard about this on the radio today. People in my town are all up in arms about the possibility of it reaching other areas. Kinda wish this by-law would happen here, because people spitting on sidewalks is gross.
I'm glad I don't live there (or Alberta in general oop) because I would get fined so easily. I swear often and I'm always blasting music from my car while driving
