No we aren't Vulcan. Follow along and stop making stuff up. We don't want cabbies to suffer, nor do we want complete deregulation. You're making #### up for some reason.
We wanted a bylaw that made ride-sharing legal under certain circumstances. The same ones that will eventually be passed:
Proper insurance
Background checks
Vehicle inspection
etc. etc.
Calgary has had multiple years to change the bylaw to protect its citizens. If Uber didn't want to follow that or the drivers didn't want to get commercial insurance because its too expensive or unavailable because of Alberta, that's not on the city and that's fine. But right now City has done nothing, the law is that Uber is illegal so they could only enter illegally. City forced their hands, and by doing so they put the citizens at risk.
