Canada, my country, where people who assault others and steal get off with a slap on the hand but a woman who feeds birds and squirrels loses her job.
-
This is a disgrace. Utter disgrace.
-
Disgusting. Give this women her job back !
-
This is ridiculous let me tell you I remember my crossing guards name and I’m 62. These people are very important in children’s lives. Quit the crazy and put her back to work !!
-
The guy in Manitoba kills 17 people, no charges. She feeds some birds and loses her job.
-
For Pete's sake she got fired for feeding the birds. ???? Are you kidding me.??!! Jeez Canada get your heads out of your butts. What the heck is happening to the world when you can't even feed the birds.??!!
-
I hope she gets her job back
-
Soulless bureaucrats and corporations.
-
Ridiculous.
-
Firing crossing guards who feed the birds and car thieves caught stealing cars while out on bail after being arrested for stealing cars. What a country.
-
This is ridiculous….. They fire the good ones looking out for our kids, unbelievable.

My wife and I have known Lisa for several years now. She is the best crossing guard we have ever seen. She not only looks after the kids but everyone that comes to the crosswalk. While other guards have held her position at the crosswalk at Main and Doncaster Ave, none have done the job as well as her. She is a real loss to the community. Larry and Carol Sutherland

You loose your job if you feed the birds???
-
Not much makes sense in Toronto other than if your not already there don't bother going. Disgusting law, and even more disgusting that any employer would use that as an excuse to fire somebody.
-
Seriously? What does feeding birds have to do with driving kids to school? All you lawmakers should get a life.
-
Her boss sounds like a micro-managing control freak.
-
Firing a crossing guard on a single complaint that she was feeding birds and squirrels. FFS! Toronto don't you think you have bigger issues such as guns than to fire someone over something like this?
-
This story makes me sick to my stomach. Violent crime is up. Car theft is up. Who are we going after? Bird feeders. Now this poor lady is probably going to require welfare when she had been doing a wonderful job doing something that gave her meaning. Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame.
-
Neighborhood snitch saw her cheerfully at her job, while feeding the birds. Some cowards can bear other people's joy, smh.
-
So everyone who has a bird feeder will lose their jobs next?! 🤔. Why not just go after the stores that sell bird feeders and bird seed as well. And if the birds eat the fruit off your tree it’s off to jail for you. Ridiculous!
