There is a fight brewing, a fight for equity under the law.
NOISE IS NOISE and it doesn't matter who is making it - offenders should all be charged and dealt with the same way under the law.
THAT's the FIGHT, that's what this is about.
Riders in Edmonton Alberta are being singled out and treated differently from other road users when it comes to noise.
The fines are higher, they are pulled into noise check stops, inconvenienced. No other road users are pulled over for noise checks. Why are the fines for cars and pickups $125 but riders pay $250?
This is what Liane Langlois has to say about how things are going for this Fund Raiser that is to fund the court case that is about to set a precedent regarding motorcycle only noise checks:
"In the city, tickets are going fast for the event but the help from our "extended family" across the country on the crowd funding page is a bit slow despite all I've done to try and help everyone else.
It's all good. You get what you put in. If we fail because of lack of support and the laws start escalating, no one can say we didn't try to stop it."
THIS IS TRAGIC PEOPLE -
PLEASE DONATE NOW - $2, $5 whatever you can:
I want you to read the information on the M.O.D.E.L. Edmonton site:
www.modeledmonton.com Educate yourself...it is important for all who ride, NO MATTER WHERE IN CANADA YOU LIVE to get involved.
I don't have a lot at the moment, but I had $10 that I donated.
If every Canadian rider I can touch did the same, the $5,000 needed to fight this fight would be raised in no time.
If you live anywhere near Edmonton, consider attending the fundraiser: http://www.modeledmonton.com/noise-is-noise-fundraiser.html
If you have a business that relies on or enjoys dealing with riders, consider kicking something in for the silent auction or supporting it financially.
If we all did one small thing - got involved in some small way - the funds needed to fight this fight would be in the kitty already!
CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
Our Charter says the we all have right to fair treatment under the law - so let's preserve that right by fighting for it!
Every right and freedom that we do not defend is one the government feels it has the right to take away from us.
Our soldiers have and continue to die to defend those rights and freedoms - will it really hurt you to defend our rights and freedoms on our own soil by donating $10? By getting involved?
Is $10 really so much to give to protect our community and its right to be treated like any other road user?
If you say to me, I live in Ontario, Nova Scotia, BC etc. and what happens in Alberta doesn't affect me - THINK AGAIN.
Talk to people who live in Bathurst NB -talk to people from Fredericton NB, Talk to people in Saskatoon SK...Talk to people in Windsor ON...Talk to people in Oakville ON
I will be monitoring the fundraising on Indiegogo and I will be on your arse until we raise the minimum of $5,000 that M.O.D.E.L. is looking for.
So if you want this nagging BI#%H off your arse, get out your credit card - or log into your PayPal account and head on over to:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/motorcyclists-opposing-discriminatory-legislation/x/5510812
AND MAKE THAT DONATION NOW!
For the time being I will step off my soap box and wish you all a great day...
