Glenn Miller argues the new mask law has led to an increase of used masks on city streets and created a \u0027health crisis\u0027

The mandatory mask rule in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 came into effect on Aug. 1 following a 10-3 council vote. The bylaw is applicable in all publicly-accessible indoor spaces including retail stores, restaurants, vehicle-for-hire services and recreation facilities.

Miller is calling for city council to rescind the bylaw within 10 days and he will terminate the legal proceedings. Otherwise, he will be seeking $565 million in remediation. “Everywhere I go, when I walk to places like Superstore or Southgate mall, masks are all over the place,” he said. “It’s unsanitary.”

Good, I hope they win. When can we do this in ontario and against bootlicking fordnation ?

Why does this pandemic bring out ALL these muppets? Put a mask on, shut up and move on

Interesting to see the hall monitors defending masks. Your not saving anyone heros.

With the mask wearing preventing Covid. Then nobody should get the flu either this season.

Some people just like to tie up the courts needlessly. What an ass.

If you have to wash your hands three times, then lotion should be mandatory

As someone who used to identify as a conservative, I now believe that conservative has become synonymous with stupidity. Conservatism no longer means fiscal restraint, small gov, family values, etc. It now means science denial, hatred, & generally being jerks

If he wins, who gets to keep the money?

I just wish that those against mandatory mask will never ever get sick. Ever. And when they get covid, that they don’t see a doctor to get cured.

The city should counter sue and stick him with the legal costs when he loses.

Let's not forget you can sue anyone for anything. There is no chance this guy wins this based on 'people don't throw stuff in the garbage'

Go for it! Since when do we need to have a bylaw mandating everything? It's part of this socialist, brainwashed, mind numbed state we are in. Everyone who wishes to wear a mask may wear one. But give other people a choice unless they are accepting close personal services.

They will not win. This is ridiculous.

Good god, what a ridiculous lawsuit. I hope CityofEdmonton claps back hard and gets this tossed. What a waste of precious judicial time and energy.

Finally, a lawsuit. I hope the win, and it sets a example against all the other draconian mask nonsense. When there is no solid proof that masks actually do anything

Slow news day I guess, frivolous lawsuit.

See, we have really stupid people in Canada, too.

They probably have a point

As the UCPCaucus laughs because they bitched out at leading the province

This guy is a fucking joke. How about tailings ponds from the tar sands? Go sure the provincial government for that!

People will do anything for a buck?

And just so we all know.. and this is directly from the WHO ( cause we know they’re legitimacy is paid for )

Good, hope they lose hard.

Gawd, alberta home of biggest air/land/water polluting toxic cancer causing tarsands in the world & this citizen is scared of 'health risks' from masks during covid19 pandemic? COVIDIOT

Those who want to wear masks will still be able to. Those who don't won't be forced to by those who can't grasp the significance of 46 hospitalizations & 7 of those in the ICU out of a population of 4.5 million. Amazing how many people seem incapable of critical thought.

Lawsuits, more to come. Class action lawsuits to follow!

Looking at those instructions in the picture... they deserve the lawsuit. I think I’ll become an ocd germaphobe and keep that pic as my reason 😏

This is so wrong. Any city, town, province should have the right to make decisions that are in the best interest of the majority of the population based on facts without the fear of spurious or nuisance lawsuits from Covidiots.

Just. Wear. The. Damn. Mask. If you don’t want to, stay at home, FFS. Yes, we live in AB.

Sue baby sue!

Alberbama.

Good. Every city should.
