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.
