The organizers of a petition that has led to a plebiscite in a small Alberta town over a bylaw that would prohibit social, political, and ideological symbols—such as pride rainbow colours on crosswalks and public flagpoles—are seeking “equality” for all residents.

Stephanie Bakker with the Westlock Neutrality Bylaw Petition group told The Epoch Times that members are not targeting anyone, but rather are looking for neutrality on divisive issues.
