I don't think getting mad a the mayor now is the correct thing to do. Attack specific issues of the plan you find unreasonable. Uber will operate in Calgary under the proposed bylaws. It might be 10cents per km more than Edmonton but it will be here.
The current complaints are over $500 per year. or $10 per week. If the make or break point of a part time driver is $10 a week. The business model doesn't work, not the regulation.
Uber now at least has moved into the unreasonable or at least not clearly correct position in my mind trying to scrape what it can out of the city. As a business this is what they should be doing. But to say the set of recommended regulations vs Edmonton's regs is about protecting the Taxi industry is absurd
