Cancelling Canada Day- How far is too far?
Well it sounds like our most woke cities are having another competition and cancelling Canada Day Fireworks one by one.
Toronto claiming they are offensive and the city is basically broke, so can't afford them.
Vancouver claiming that it's offensive to some and too expensive to run.
Now Calgary has gone off the deep end and claiming it is offensive to the Chinese and the Aboriginals. Not good for birds. Not good for the environment. Expensive, and every other excuse they can kick out.

That council and mayor Calgary voted in is something else. Never thought they could out-woke the 13 imbiciles running our city, but it seems to be a tight competition most days.

Neither are wind turbines...
Back to the topic.
This woke world is simply getting to be out of control.
Getting pretty sick and tired "offending" quakes...
You wait....next...Calgary Stampede!

Ok. No fireworks. Got it
But I can still get drunk and shoot my pistol in the air, right? Please tell me they didnt cancel that.....
As a point of fact, Pierre Trudeau said that Canada has no culture. Thus, his son believes the same. It filters down over time.

I am totally on board with canceling Canada day.
I would much rather celebrate Alberta's independence day.

You're good to go on that one. But if you happen to be shooting a .44 it will be far more expensive than fireworks

When the citizens elect the woke to run their cities, this is what they get. Cities give out free drugs to the addicts, yet it's too expensive to have fireworks. People need to stop electing the woke, if they want this stupidity to end.

Yup, who cares. I'll be on top of a mountain on a horse, as far away from Crazyville as possible.

Destroy Canadian culture. Destroy Canadian sovereignty.
Why is Justin Trudeau destroying so many Canadian icons, including our passport?

It's all planned. People still think it's far-fetched and a conspiracy. These days, the only difference between a conspiracy and the truth is time. You just can't fix stupid. Just watch the Orange communists win this election.

Because I’m an outdoorsman that cares about wildlife I support firework bans. If that makes me woke, so be it. I support canceling helium balloons too. I could care less about any other reason to shut them down but won’t lose any sleep over knowing some places are going to do without them.
Big deal. That’s first world problem if I ever saw one.

Apparently that psycho in Calgary isn't messing around. She's reminding everyone that there can be a $100,000 fine for shooting off fire works in city limits unless approved, and there will be no approvals on Canada day.
Another good article on the subject.

What a dog's breakfast of a thread this quickly became. Posts that violated forum rules, as well as posts that quoted them, have been deleted, and a suspension levied.
Read the forum rules. Color inside the lines. Simple.

Honestly, the more surprising part is that Edmonton hasn't done the same yet.
Our lefty mayor sat at the high table of evil in Trudeau's cabinet. I expect Sohi would be 2 scoops in on cancelling Canada Day fireworks for these vague justifications of environment and cultural sensitives. Whatever the **** that is.
I guess wait for it hey.

Council readies motion to bring back Canada Day fireworks
The amount of time and money wasted on the tax payer dime is mind numbing, but at least some of them are trying to do the right thing.

Of course I do and I understand what you’re saying although I do realize it’s sarcasm. I consider them necessary I guess and at least to some degree try to minimize my impact in subtle little ways. So yeah , I guess that’s what I stand for, at least acknowledging my impact and in doing so being okay with the odd little thing not mattering, like fireworks for example.

An urban fireworks display on Canada Day has absolutely no meaningful adverse effect on wildlife.
If you don't like fireworks and don't care about the cancellation of the event that's fine, but why the need to wrap your position in bogus environmental concern?

The argument against that comes from some dog owners whose mutts go bonkers , there's always somebody to offend.

I was listening to the radio on my lunch break today, and they were saying that the decision not to have fireworks was made by City of Calgary bureaucrats, not City Council, and that now City Council is reconsidering due to the hub-bub this is creating.

So how does a fireworks display in a city, have a negative effect on wildlife? Are you also against shooting ranges and target shooting?

They did what the federal liberals taught them; create a panel to come up with an answer to an issue that they created, and have the panel regurgitate the answer that they gave them. Then they implement it based on the recommendation and throw up their arms when people revolt because it wasn't their idea.
Brillianty deceitful actually.
This was that nutcase's doing. No doubt from anyone.

Don't take this the wrong way, well actually there's no other way to take it. That is the most lame excuse for being in support of a virtuous, racially grandstanding move if there ever was one.
You care about the environment so you're ok with them cancelling a long standing tradition based on misguided concerns of colonialism and racism?
Puhhlease.

And if anyone is wondering why I'm so concerned with what happens is Calgary, it's because our villiage idiot will out-do yours somehow, and that scares me.
He already got the christmas tree removed from his sight at Churchhill square, and is actively doing his part in slowly changing Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays
Some of our most beloved traditions are getting axed one by one and we seem to be ok with it.
I'm all for evolving with time, but these things are being done for all the wrong reasons, and that I'm not ok with.
Rant over.
