Today, GGP clients and staff gathered to decorate our van and walk in the Saskatoon Pride Parade! We are so proud to take part in this annual tradition. For many of our clients, this was their very first time seeing a pride parade, let alone being in one! What a joyful day 🏳️🌈 pic.twitter.com/5QKlIGNP9U

Speaking of parades, I'm hearing that the FluTruxKlan wants to try to ruin Canada Day for Ottawa - they seem to think that Trudeau and the nation are afraid of them.We are proud to partner with @USaskMedDean to #ShowOurPride today at the annual Saskatoon Pride Parade. Thx to everyone who joined us! 👍🏻 🏳️🌈@SMSS_SK @ResidentDocsSK @DennisKendel pic.twitter.com/ynIxVGicCx

Not even truckers stand with you. You aren’t truckers, you are domestic terrorists.

If Ottawa police fail again, I am confident that Trudeau will not hesitate to declare another Emergencies Act:Ottawa police say this year’s Canada Day event will see ‘unprecedented’ security response https://t.co/YjyIpEkypA

I looked up Colville's other dog pictures -- here are two of them:Alex Colville is most famous for his horse running on the tracks but he did dogs too. This train bridge is just outside of my hometown: he lived up the street from us in Sackville NB when he taught at Mount Allison. pic.twitter.com/ssD9eInDLD

Nice collection today, Cathy, especially the dog pics and vids. And way to segue between two themes with that campy ABBA dog video! Nice!

Honest comment from an 8 year old girl in western Canada when told to wear pink or rainbow to school on a specific day
"when do I get my day?"
I love the cultural appropriation of it all
Rainbow used to mean covenant with God
and Pride was the first of seven deadly sins.
Society for the most part really doesn't want to know how you rub your bits and doesn't care that 90% of your personality is a sex issue.
Thanks Cap.
As for Anon's comment:
1. Could someone please tell that little girl that International Women's Day has been celebrated for decades on March 8. If she wants to start a movement to develop a whole "month" for women, there is nothing stopping her from doing that.
2. I believe that whatever "rainbow" used to mean, and whatever "pride" used to mean, is not relevant anymore - terminology changes along with our society. I too could wish that society didn't care so much about someone's sexual orientation but it still does, and LGBTQ2S+ people still face terrible discrimination. This is what makes Pride month so important around the world. Do some reading about it and please don't be dismissive or sarcastic.
