City (of Toronto) may cut Pride funding over ‘Israeli apartheid’ marchers

 


I guess next will be the expression "American Imperialism" that would be deemed "discriminatory", how about "Canada's racism against natives"? And so on.

"City may cut Pride funding over 'Israeli apartheid' marchers

City bureaucrats may withdraw funding from Pride Toronto next year if the activist group Queers Against Israeli Apartheid is allowed to march in this summer's Pride parade.
The city, which gave Pride $121,000 in 2009, believes its anti-discrimination policy was likely violated by QuAIA's conduct and very presence at last summer's parade, said general manager of economic development and culture Mike Williams. If Pride were to permit another violation, Williams said, there could be "very serious" repercussions."
