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.
