Dance pairing young girls and old men ‘out of step with today’s times’

?In these more multicultural times, at city events, we have to make sure the activities remain relevant

“I want to be clear we’ve never received any complaints about any inappropriate behaviour,” Cote told The Province.

“But some parents were asking why their 12-year-old has to dance with senior men that they don’t know.”

I don't understand. May Day is Labour Day for communist countries. This is Seattle?

International Workers Day originates in the United States. American unions first called for the introduction of an eight-hour working day in the second half of the 19th century. A general strike was declared to press these demands, starting May 1, 1886. The idea spread to other countries and since then workers around the world have held protests on May 1 every year, although the U.S. celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday in September.

International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day in some places, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement, anarchists, socialists, and communists and occurs every year on May Day, 1 May, an ancient European spring holiday. The date was chosen for International Workers' Day by the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886. This Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.

Being a traditional European spring celebration, May Day is a national public holiday in many countries, but in only some of those countries is it celebrated specifically as "Labour Day" or "International Workers' Day". Some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States which celebrates Labor Day on the first Monday of September.

Also, long before May Day was co-opted by the fucking Communists it was a spring festival in many European cultures featuring things like the May Pole and etc.
