This is really reaching for news. Westlock is a rural farm town and has less than five thousand people. This is a storm in a tea cup. The pride flag wasn't banned, it was voted against for flying at government buildings. You can still have a pride flag on your home if you really want. No one is stopping you.
Also, the way they say it's "north of edmonton" is a bit of a lie. It's north alright, by 90 kilometers, or about an hour and ten minutes by car. Taking Chicago as a distance example, if you drive an hour north, you're no longer in Illinois.
The mayor of the city and the council are 'deeply disappointed' in the vote. In the off chance there are some of you around, just remember those of you who might actually live in Westlock, your mayor is disappointed in you.
Perhaps remind the mayor on election day how disappointed you are that Jon Kramer is the mayor.
The Left can't tolerate if there's even a single place on earth that isn't subjugated under their flag
I can't drive 55.
If you drive an hour north of Chicago, you were in the drink at least 45 minutes ago.
Totally off topic, but Minnesota is known as the land o' lakes. Michigan is surrounded by the Great Lakes and borders 4 of the 5, but Minnesota is the land o' lakes? WTF?
And I agree, if the town doesn't vote the mayor out next election, they deserve whatever retaliation he implements in the future.
