‘Take Back Alberta’ Organizer Leading Campaign Against Rainbow Crosswalk in Small Town Alberta

3 years ago by IninewCrow to c/canada

Westlock, Alberta is becoming a far-right culture war battleground after local youths win unanimous vote in support of rainbow crosswalk

When you allow far right attitudes to grow ... they are like weeds that start appearing everywhere.

My general rule of thumb is .... if one's ideals and beliefs start affecting the lives of others ... then their beliefs are not about them, they believe in wanting to control the lives of others.

I'm not surprised its in Alberta tbh. Plus it's a rainbow crosswalk, its not like its gonna turn the whole town gay.

I always find that thought funny .... if your beliefs are so weak and flimsy that a simple painted crosswalk or a flag is enough to inflame your sensibilities or challenge your faith ... then your beliefs were never that strong to begin with.
