Questions

In June, a group of Barrhead, Alberta, residents started a petition to remove all LGBT rainbow crosswalks and “Pride” flags from municipal property.

Now, the town says its Neutral Space Bylaw would in effect ban any “decorations” or designs on crosswalks that are not in the standard scheme. It would also only allow official flags to be flown on all municipal-owned buildings.

The bylaw states that there will be “no grandfathering of any existing crosswalks or flags that contravene the new bylaw,” which means the town’s existing Pride and disability crosswalks would have to be removed.

Earlier this year, residents in the Alberta town of Westlock passed a bylaw that bans all non-governmental flags from municipal buildings and mandates that crosswalks only be painted in the standard, white-striped pattern.

Emo, a small town in Ontario, was ordered to appear in front of a Human Rights Tribunal for rejecting a 2020 motion to proclaim June as “Pride” month and fly the LGBT “Pride” flag.

“That summarizes the situations unfolding across North America right now... The point of rainbow crosswalks isn’t ‘celebration’ – it’s colonization, with punishment meted out harshly to those who dare to express their disagreement or discomfort,” Jonathon Van Maren wrote.

I am kind of diving into the spectrum of the American voting system this year, and how much abortion is a big topic. So I'm wondering do you personally know someone that has had an abortion? I'm trying to find out if it is something very common there.

Maybe I am out of the loop, do that many women get abortions on a regular basis? Or is it more the possibility that they may need to get one and want to have the option open? Or something else?

I think he's echoing what his project 2025 buddy Kevin Roberts has been saying:

I'll leave this harrowing poem here for you to contemplate this question:

You can't deter, fight, negotiate or not open the door for death. Your time is up. What's your response or attitude?
