Unfortunately the forward motion should have started decades ago when Frank Serpico outed the NYPD in 1967 - 1970.
It is utter bullshit that this is still an ongoing issue.

Exactly. I can't understand those who back cops 100% no matter what they do.

Yup. I'd feel the same if every major city in the world shut them down as well.

Yup. But they aren't forced or policed like we are, so they only follow rules when it benefits them.

One would think that but capitalism works under a whole different set of rules than us.

If they had no idea that individual cities, provinces, states or countries had rules against Airbnbs I might agree with you. But since rules have been in place (in some locations) for years I'd say they actively ignored them to make the most profit and only decided to do it now because of the liability issues.
And I hope every one of the families sues their gold-plated socks off.

But then they'd have to actually work for their billions in profit.

While it's good Airbnb finally decided to do this I have to wonder why it didn't do it across the board.
Oh wait ... I know why ...

Nah. Probably just some poor plebe who was told to fill the request by a higher-up who was supposed to vet the request.
Either way it couldn't have happened to a better org. :)

All true. There's also a fair chance at least some of this sting was based on Nenshi being Muslim and Brown too. If he'd been "caught" it would've fed the racist beast that consumes Canadian conservatives rn.
I can't help but be proud of Nenshi and his moral code. Too bad every politician didn't look to him for inspiration.

I used to live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan back in the 70's when cops started giving starlight tours on a regular basis. I knew a couple guys who survived those.
Cops have always been, and always will be, assholes who've been taught they can do no wrong.
