You are taking part in democracy.
You are exercising your freedom of expression.
You are acting as a model citizen.

In June 2023, Benita learned that her Town of Westlock, Alberta, planned to paint a rainbow crosswalk featuring colours associated with "Pride" and transgenderism. Benita disagreed with the project.
