In 2006, he opposed a bylaw that would have made it an offence to spit, urinate, defecate, loiter, fight or show a knife in public.[2]

In 2007, he pushed for a bylaw to allow ashtrays at entry points into public buildings in an effort to avoid garbage created by discarded butts.[3]

On June 25, 2015, Chabot announced he intended to run for mayor of Calgary in the 2017 municipal election.[4]
