5000 Yellow ribbons (in support of Canadian Troops) were donated to the City of Calgary to be displayed on all city of Calgary owned vehicles and to be made available to the public who might also like to display one on their vehicle.
Mayor Bronconnier and 10 concellors voted against displaying the ribbons in supprt of Canadian troops (Mciver motion) and then changed the motion to allow the City of Calgary to sell the donated ribbons to the general public in city facilities. These ribbons were donated by a private individual/company (Sean Burnand of Canwest Labels) who could have easily recouped his costs bell selling the ribbons himself.
Only 4 concellors in the city of Calgary voted to support Canadian Troops.
If you are a constituent of the City of Calgary, please let your Mayor and the 'Terrible Ten' that voted against supporting our troops know how you feel about this.
