Canada’s largest outdoor rodeo show to host ‘drag queen’ brunch, sell bug-stuffed hot dogs
The supposed family-centered Calgary Stampede, which dubs itself as the “Greatest outdoor show on earth,” is set to host a “Drag Queen” Brunch while at the same time green-lighting its food vendors to sell hotdogs stuffed with bugs.
Last month, the Stampede, which is taking place from July 7 to July 17, announced it was offering a “Drag Queen Brunch” as part of the rodeo festivities.
The “Drag” brunch concept, which has become popular in recent years notably in left-leaning cities, for the Stampede will include no less than eight “Drag” performers.
One of the performers goes by the name “Karla Marx,” which is a name wordplay for Karl Marx, who is noted as the father of Communism.
Calgary climate plan calls for foot travel and only zero-emission vehicles
Calgary’s newly published climate plan aims for all vehicles registered in the city by 2050 to have zero emissions and for 60% of residents to get around by “walking, wheeling or transit.”
The Calgary Climate Strategy Pathways to 2050 was submitted to Tuesday’s Community Development Committee.
One of its goals – to reach “zero carbon neighbourhoods” – predicts that “100% of all vehicles registered in Calgary (will be) zero emissions vehicles.”
“Electric vehicles are the leading technology for emissions reductions and cost savings, however there are other technology options that may become a greater opportunity in the future, such as hydrogen vehicles,” the report claims.
Billboard Truck Returns: There Is No Climate Emergency Here In Calgary
There is no climate emergency. This much is apparent to anyone who is paying attention. Even members of Calgary city council who voted in favour of declaring a climate emergency in the city acknowledge that is was a symbolic declaration. They are right — as far as helping the environment in any meaningful way, this declaration is empty virtue signalling. Phony virtue is not all this emergency declaration signals, however — it is abundantly clear that progressive politicians want us living in a perpetual state of fear so that they can do what they wish and seize more power. We are jumping from one emergency to the next.
