C'mon, dude. Neither you nor your brother in his ENTIRE TENURE AS MAYOR have ever attended Pride. You're always up at the cottage. And this was years before Pride declined to allow police to march in the parade, so sorry if we're just not buying it. I mean, why would you come to support an event that brings millions and millions of dollars into the local economy?

Get bent Dougie. We won't miss you at Pride because hey, you've never been there anyway.

Ontario premier-designate Doug Ford says he’s waiting on Toronto’s Pride organization to include uniformed police in their annual parade before he commits to attending the June 24 event.

“It’s supposed to be inclusive and the police play a big part in our community, in Toronto, they’re the first people we call when we need help. So I look forward to their decision on deciding if the police are going to be marching in their parade.”

Starting in 2016, police officers in uniform were forbidden from walking in the event, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to the city’s downtown core, after Black Lives Matter halted the parade, mid-event, with the demand they be excluded over police treatment of blacks and other minorities.
