I had just noticed it on on my Outlook calender today. Haha

which is why they buy them all on native land.

Not all of them do all the time.

Yay, CiC is back and crazy as ever!

I think CiC needs to run all his posts by Tic Tac for translation. They'd probably make more sense.

I think its a bs event. For all the reasons already posted but how much do you guys think it would have cost to host this on one of our beaches or parks? Prob the same or more. Cleaning up a park in downtown is no easy feat. The litter the butts the needles etc...

It would cost way less. Garbage clean up already happens at parks and you would not have to pay for traffic diversion.

Yesterday a Liberal party member come to my store to ask it I wanted to sign up again for the Liberal party because my membership had lapsed. I laughed. Don't think so.

Burrard Bridge petition would turn city landmark into a pride rainbow - British Columbia - CBC News

:facepalm: leave that fucking bridge alone....

i've no problems with that if it doesn't adversely affect traffic or cost taxpayers.

Gotta hand it to them for the creativity!

If we're to follow protocol, some questions must be asked:

How much will this cost?
Who's paying for it?
Have organizers considered proper safety measures for this work?
What closures will be required for the work to be done?
Is anyone disrespecting the natives with this?
What about gay natives?
What about gay yogis?

Hey, I know, they could build the rainbow by strapping different color yoga mats to the bridge!

hey u leave the gay yogis out of this

Yeah because the smoking and heroin use would drastically increase in parks during this yoga event.
:rukidding:

LGBT-anything is the most politically correct thing in the west right now

This will happen, you watch!


Anyone seen as being only 99% behind gay rights is a political target

Get it right, you heathen - it's LGBTQ now. At least until someone else feels those terms don't include them and they need to add another letter.

I'm assuming he means cleanup prior to the event so it's lush and beautiful for the photo ops and yoga yuppies.

If they are footing the bill and they are not closing the bridge I see no problem with it.

99.99% of all Aboriginal people don't give a fuck about the fact that another event coincides with "Aboriginal Day," and I'd be willing to bet that that includes the Grand Chief, he's only taking the alignment of the dates as another reason to rally against it. I don't think the logic behind that is any different from the logic behind much of the myriad of other points of opposition that have been brought up, particularly those by other hyperpolitical groups that feel the need to respond in protest to absolutely every act by another political group.

Quad-sexual?? what's Q?

What Does LGBTQIA mean? | Tahoe SAFE Alliance

Basically if you do anything else other than P in the V then you are FABULOUS and celebrated by this group

I'm gonna design a straight white male flag and petition to cover the Granville bridge with it. Equality, right?

Fuck this. Seriously I've had enough with gay rights being shoved in my face wherever I go. Why can't people just go live their lives quietly and just be themselves without having to force it in my face.

Seriously? 2 weeks notice to close a bridge for a few hours is quite reasonable. It's not the end of the world if you can't ride a bike or drive across that bridge before 11am when you can go east 5 minutes and get on the Granville Bridge to get to downtown.

If this was a workday and closed the bridge on those hours, there's a right to be outraged.

I don't want to sound insensitive, but National Aboriginal Day is hardly considered an important day for traffic. They planned massive events in the downtown/kits area right?

I don't think the UN purposely planned June 21 so it can mess with lord ol mightly Fathers Day which is always the 3rd sunday of June and just so happens it overlapped. FailFish

I do have to agree the majority of the cost should be borne by the sponsors. Having said that, it's an event to celebrate a healthy activity, so I rather see our tax dollars spent on that than other bs that happens in Vancouver.

This event itself doesn't determine whether we have fun or not, but seeing how events get politicized so easily because of general dislike of gov't just shows how pathetic we are. We don't live in a world where everyone's needs and wants get catered to. LIVE WITH IT. Most large events are government sanctioned and corporate sponsored anyways (look at all those little logos). I guess you hate the HONDA Celebration of Light, the ROGERS Santa Clause Parade etc? Oh nevermind, they have been around for so long, it's okay to keep them going because it's a tradition.FailFish So we can't start new events? This wasn't even called LULULEMON'S Yoga Day.

If you don't like Christy Clark or the Liberals, don't vote for them. Apparently more people in this province disagree with that.

We're gonna run out of alphabet by the time they're done...

you can apply the same logic to the holiday spirit around Christmas time then :derp:

they say those who are vocal against LGBT are likely closet homosexuals :gay:
