Fort Langley’s Pride Crosswalk: A Village’s Tangle of Symbolism
Fort Langley, known as the “birthplace of British Columbia,” hides an undercurrent of control beneath its postcard charm. A satirical account of a self-styled “Midnight Dad Brigade” exposes tensions over image, power, and moral authority in the village. Harassment and intimidation against dissenters underscore how fragile civility can be in tightly knit communities. Parallel to this, the rainbow crosswalk at Mary and Glover—installed in 2017 and repeatedly vandalized—has become a flashpoint for identity and belonging. The Township’s 2025 attempt to replace it with “heritage” art, later withdrawn after backlash, reflects the continuing struggle between heritage and inclusion.

There comes a point in every action hero’s career when it’s time to trade in the rocket launcher for a recliner. Unfortunately, Hollywood seems to have collectively agreed that point is never. The result? A new cinematic age where once-mighty legends are wheeled out like beloved relics, forced to roundhouse kick villains while praying their hip replacements hold up.
