'Deepest apologies': Central Alberta rodeo organizers shocked by parade float
CTV News Calgary ^ | June 26, 2022 | Michael Franklin

Organizers of a central Alberta rodeo and its parade committee are calling for calm after a float in this weekend's parade, which possessed a racist theme, was seen in the procession.

The float in the parade, held in the town of Sundre on Saturday morning, consisted of a tractor pulling an individual in a fake beard dressed in a turban and a suit. On the side of the trailer, which was a manure spreader, was the message, "The Liberal."

Both the Sundre Pro Rodeo and the parade committee said they did not approve the entry. The committee went on to suggest that it broke the rules.

I think the REAL faux-pas here was that, at least amongst the Canadian Mainstream Media, the first and greatest commandment is: "Thou shalt not EVER insult the Liberal Party, and its Blessed Leader Justin Trudeau." :P

Given that this was Calgary, I’ll bet the overwhelming majority of parade goers enjoyed it. The in-your-face pride paraders, not so much.

I don’t think it’s racist but a political commentary on the support agreement between Trudeau and the NDP leader Singh which will keep the PM and libs in power for the next few years.

Yikes. Triple yikes squared!!! Don’t these foolish parade organizers realize that the only group you’re allowed to disparage these days are normal while males!? Off with their heads!

I thought very seriously about painting one light blue and putting “Hope and change” signs on it and pulling it in our local parade. I just never found one cheap enough.

I was thinking it was a reference to his famous Arabian nights black-face turban costume, non? Still not a racist float though.

The float should’ve got “most creative “ prize.

They are playing a dangerous game in Alberta.

They try to ram this down our necks and kids about pride bs etc, drag time with kids and crap books. Attempting to come for guns. We can only come to one conclusion. They want a fight, they keep goading Albertans. Hey wait,this sounds a lot like Ukraine goading Russia.

Holding certain religious views and wearing clothing appropriate to those views is now seen as a statement of race?

The left now views religions as race...except for Christianity.
Because...meh...white supremacy.

The lens they are viewing the world through is a “sniper scope”.

The interesting thing here is that everyone sees racism and only racism.

Liberals have no sense of humor.

They are autocratic/totalitarian in nature. They claim to be liberal, open to all views, but are really very close minded. It is their way or the highway.
