If you think that the Mayor of Calgary can suggest that he was aware city staff was actively recruiting people with criminal records including sex offenders to become approved by Uber and then drive for them, and then suggests that he knew it was happening but then also states that he intentionally did not want to know details, and that is not a problem -- as in -- standard operating procedure in his position -- well, I won't type what I think, [And, edit out].

Sooooo... his plan was to get sex offenders on staff for a company that he was instrumental in kicking out of town?
This all looks bad for him, I agree, but I think you might be overstating the whole "criminals driving cars" angle here. He didn't want them operating here -- and they don't -- so you can't really say he wanted to arrange for sex offenders to work for them.
All things aside, if the city did test the background check process for Uber drivers, then that's only a good thing. Unless someone can explain to me how it's a bad thing to find out the process doesn't work.
