When in a circus, act like a clown. I see two options.
Decorate your mask. I’m thinking something along the line “vote out nenshi” or “this mask is not a filter”
Test the definition of a mask. Do they define what a mask is? Specify a material? I’m thinking plague doctor, cowboy bandanna, or T-shirt ninja.
Personally, I'm either thinking of ordering the "Make America Great Again" mask or the "Gadsden Flag" mask.
I'm gonna get a GOATSE bandana if they make us do it here.
Can someone explain the reasoning?
Whenever I look up mask effectiveness, I find limited studies supporting the use of masks. Most studies that seem to suggest masks reduce transmission are studies done where the infected was coughing into the mask. If you're coughing you have covid-19 symptoms and shouldn't be out in the public...
What's wrong with this study?
"Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza."

Why are we being forced to wear masks?
Because of the "what if it does help and we didn't try" line of reasoning, it's just here to makes people feel safe...
It's about as useful as your underwear preventing farts from escaping.
I thought we were supposed to listen to science?
Alberta so probably wont be enforced with half the people running around no mask. Nenshi is a slimeball.
Of course they voted this way, they are just pandering politicians.
I emailed my councilor and he said he wasn't going to vote for mandatory masks in Calgary. His view was that it was a provincial decision.
Now I see his name on the yay side of this vote? A few days after he said he wouldn't? I am so frustrated with society right now.
Stores can't force you to wear a mask, they can't deny you entering the stores but they can be fined however for not displaying a sign that says to wear a mask.
Or so I've read and lost the link...sorry
edit Stores are required to post a sign about the bylaw and are not required or have the right to enforce the bylaw.

If they're real cunty about it here's what you do:
1 - Go get mask
2 - Steal shit from store
3 - Profit
Is it me or does almost nobody talk about how this forcing everyone to wear a mask being a thief's/privacy advocate's paradise?
That's what I thought. Have a nice fucking day.
Be sure to order some trendy political masks if you're going to be forced to wear a mask. You can just reuse these masks.

The one I really want is a mask that reads: "Close the Borders"
