SDA GETS RESULTS! – Saskatoon City Council has wisely chosen to back down. Thanks everyone for your entries, especially those who took the time to slap together a photoshopped version.
That said, some of the entries were kind of lame. Or they missed the point entirely — which was to subject Saskatoon City Council to the best bullying a free book can buy.
But a promise is a promise: Your winners!
“Eagle” … 
“doowleb” … 
“Richfisher” … 
Send me an email and we’ll send you out a book. (original post continues below).
It’s a contest!

Download the image below to create your own sign mocking, gossiping about, ridiculing, pinching, formenting, slurring and/or bullying Saskatoon City Council.
Contest ends Monday at 6am. One photoshop entry per person, only work friendly entries will be considered. Email to kate{at}katewerk.com. (For those without Photoshop capabilities, I’ll consider text entries left in the comments.)
The best ones will be published here, with the top three receiving a free book from the SDA Free Book Library.
I don’t like how they are bullying and shaming bullies.
Does this mean an end to all left wing protests now? What would Alinsky think?
George Soros is the King of Bullies.
I SHUN His Wickedness.
I will unleash Anne Coulter on him. Top that.
Mocking, ridiculing, name calling…
That’s called Tuesday in many homes.
Is the Koran included?
I am hurt being grouped in with pigs (mmmm…. bacon), as an Infidel!!!
For those without Photoshop, I’ll consider text entries left in the comments.
To prevent bullying we shall become the bullies.
The only difference?
Who is doing it.
So who gets to bully the council appointed bullies?
Must be from the same brianiacs who stripped us of our legal rights to protect their imaginary human rights.
I think I have to recommend a circular firing squad to the council.
GROW UP!
BE A MENSCH!
‘Bullying Fools”,
The bylaw lists taunting, ridiculing, shunning and “excluding another person.”
So freedom of speech and association.
It also includes physical acts like kicking, pushing, hair pulling and pinching.
So things that are already illegal under the definition of common assault.
Will there be a triage center at the department of hurt feelings?
What would the punishment be for calling someone “a thin skinned sissy”?
“I am always chosen last for school baseball teams”
(no photoshop here…)
“The proposed City of Saskatoon anti-bullying bylaw would also outlaw rumour mongering, taunting, mocking and ostracizing.”
Wow, the CBC outlet there won’t be allowed to talk about Conservatism at all!
I’m beginning to believe that the prerequisite for municipal office in our country is to be mentally ill.
“Folie de grandeur” would be the right name for it: the overweaning desire to legislate on issues far beyond the remit of issuing dog licences and by-laws on watering lawns in the summer.
Perhaps the idiots should talk to their law department before they begin stomping all over the Charter. It seems that governments tend to forget that the Charter was intended to protect citizens from government.
Oops!
Make that “overweening”.
(I’m really gonna have to start using preview before posting.)
Just another feel-good exercise. Saskatoon also has a bylaw outlawing spitting in public which is almost impossible to enforce and I honestly doubt if anyone has been charged. There is also a bylaw in place mandating 30 kph speed zones near schools which is poorly enforced and routinely ignored. The 30 kph zone is probably a good thing but with the lack of police presence many drivers just roar through the zone at 50 kph or better. Mix these ignorant fools in with drivers obeying the speed restriction and the danger increases dramatically. Few things piss me off more than crawling through a school zone while some idiot passes me doing twice the speed limit and not a cop in sight.
I’ve always maintained that, if you’re unwilling or unable to enforce a law, why even bother putting it on the books.
Not at all. They’re big babies.
Download and photoshop – nobody got time fo dat. “Behead those who bully”
I want redemptive payments and ongoing economic consideration for all the bullying and shunning I was subjected to as a kid.
Finally!! An end to CBC.Ca!
My life’s anthem – Eagles “Get Over It”

Isn’t a by-law the ultimate bully tactic available to a city?
“Roger Rabbit says: It’s not nice to Saskatoon.”
“Pick Me For The Hockey Team – It’s The Law.”
Governments are the ultimate bullies.
“I’ve always maintained that, if you’re unwilling or unable to enforce a law, why even bother putting it on the books.”
Surely you know the reason for that.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Is it still legal to think I think your fat?
It’s brilliant! A law that could actually shut down the CBC! Talk about unintended consequences on this legalese created road to hell. 🙂
With an arrow pointed to her right – “Flowers are a form of non-verbal harassment”
Disagree and you will get arrested.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – C.S. Lewis

“I love it,” retired Saskatoon police Sgt. Brian Trainor said in an interview Thursday.
Hey fatty, why don’t you do your stressed heart and the fine citizens of Saskatoon a favour and instead of bothering us with more useless legislation, walk down to the local clothing store and buy yourself a shirt that makes you look less like a Mack truck covered with a tablecloth.
Is that sufficiently criminal?
“only work friendly entries will be considered” You mean I can’t Photoshop “Justin is a Metrosexual eunuch”?
I can’t seem to find the proposed bylaw on the City of Saskatoon website. The page linked from the Star Phoenix looks a bit hinky.
You sunk my battleship!…:(
I can’t seem to find the proposed bylaw on the City of Saskatoon website. The page linked from the Star Phoenix looks a bit hinky. It’s difficult to mock the council if we can’t read what they’re actually proposing. Or should we simply place our trust in the dead-tree media.
“My feelings have feelings too”
#feelingsmatter
“We shouldn’t have to discern ‘right from wrong’, we just want ‘right’, enforced by our supreme municipal council”.
I used to live in Saskatoon many years ago. Back then, the geomagnetic field was such that the aurora was quite active over the region. That activity produced stray currents which were believed to speed up the corrosion reactions that caused local water lines to leak.
Maybe some of those stray currents scrambled a few brains in that city as well.
Besides, if everyone who said something that was considered offensive or insulting was apprehended, the entire population would eventually be in jail.
“Behead those who bully”
Kinda says it all.
“Grow a SPINE”
I could see Stephen Harper making use of this opportunity.
I imagine not agreeing with leftards is a serious form of bullying?
“please punch me in the face!”
Kittens Kill!
“Don’t make me report myself for putting clothespins on my nipples”
Saskatoon City Hall
A safe place for idiots!
The sign reads as follows:
Warning: Criticizing the city bylaw against bullying is a contravention of the bylaw.
Note: This is not an entry.
I have a hard time believing that a City of Saskatoon bylaw can overpower the Charter of Rights that says we have:
Fundamental freedoms
Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.
