No, it was not a garbage bag and the employee was photographed using both hands and she appeared to be carrying the headdress properly. Should have been placed in that crew hold. Never mind what policy is, one of the most valuable tools we have in our tool belt is common sense and discretion. I tell my people that all the time. If you are Canadian and understand Canada's history and its people, should have known better!
AFAIK the crew storage area on the Q400 has no fire suppression system, which is why under no circumstances may passenger belongings be placed there.

That's not a matter of common sense or discretion, it's safety and the law.
