I had a visitor, I showed her everything Calgary …

“My sweet friend sacredlotus (Nicolle) from Portland came to visit me in Calgary this past week. My goal was to show her as much of the best things as I could about the city in our short time together. I loaned her a cruiser bike and together we rode the city.”

One of the only video stores in Calgary specializing in art house films is shutting its doors at the end of this month.

Bird Dog Video has been in business for the past seven years. Jolie Bird, one of the owners, said the store never really turned a profit, but the store’s revenue plummeted with the rise of Netflix and video on demand.

I asked him what the hell he was doing. He can’t be shooting birds. He said well, he wants to get rid of them, they shouldn’t be on the roof, is what he was yelling at me back.

Late Saturday morning, a crowd of dozens, perhaps hundreds, will converge along quiet, downtown streets. They’ll wave flags, carry signs and chant slogans, all broadcasting an unmistakable, unsettling message.

White pride.

There’s only one city in Canada where such demonstrations of this scale take place: Calgary, described by many as the centre of the country’s neo-Nazi movement.
