The Lead
The organizers of an “anti-lockdown” rodeo in Alberta that violated public health orders aimed at mitigating the spread of the coronavirus have been charged with breaking the Alberta Health Act. As CBC News reports, hundreds gathered May 1-2 near the community of Bowden in defiance of restrictions. The rodeo event was not sanctioned by the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association.
RCMP confirmed to CBC News that Ty and Gail Northcott have been served papers requiring them to appear in Red Deer provincial court on May 17.
Meanwhile, other Alberta rodeo organizers are worried the unsanctioned Bowden rodeo could hurt the sport’s recovery with some saying the event made their sport look bad while reinforcing long-held stereotypes about Western Canada. CBC News has that story, too.

Dance of the 41: Release time and date for Mexican film on Netflix shown!
Fans are wondering about the release time and date for Dance of the 41 on Netflix. We look at the Mexican film’s release and how to watch it.
Dance of the 41 (Spanish:
El baile de los 41) is a Mexican film based on true events of ‘Dance of the Forty-One’ a scandal in early 20th Century Mexico. Where an illegal police raid was carried out at a private home where a party was being held.
The premise of the film loosely follows the historical event and will feature in Spanish language. Fans are now wondering when the film, directed by David Pablos will be released.
A quick search of Google reflects this. For example, May 12 is National Odometer Day, National Nutty Fudge Day, National Porridge Day and National Limerick Day. (I’m guessing they mean limerick the poetry style, and not Limerick, the small community just outside of Assiniboia). Why does National Odometre Day fall on May 12? And who really cares? But other days and weeks are worth celebrating, including a couple of weeks currently underway. May 9-15 is National Police Week. And May 10-16 is National Nurses Week. I find this to be rather fitting. As has been well-documented in this space, my dad was an RCMP officer for 30 years. And my mom was a nurse for 38 years.
