TABER, Alta. -- Insp. Graham Abela is an angry man.
Not yell, swear or spit-on-the-sidewalk angry but angry just the same over the public ridicule Taber, Alta., has been subjected to since the town of 8,104 enacted a bylaw to clamp down on bad behaviour.
The bylaw levels a $75 fine for spitting in public and a $150 penalty for yelling, screaming or swearing in a public place. There are also limits on noise from bars, noting the town's "quiet hours" are between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., and police are allowed to order groups of three people or more to disperse.
(That means any group of three or more people these inbred, mouth-breathing fuckwits in Taber don't like can be"dispersed".)
But, it gets better!
The mocking has included a group of guys from Edmonton who called it the "Footloose bylaw" and suggested a Kickstarter campaign to pay for Kevin Bacon, the star of the 1984 movie, to attend a dance party outside of town.

Thankfully, this shithole town is being mocked and ridiculed loudly and will be a source for one-liners to our fine stable of Canadian comics!
