QuAIA deputation -- Pride 2011

QuAIA deputation — Pride 2011

On May 25, 2011, QuAIA (Queers Against Israeli Apartheid) presented this video at Toronto City Council’s Executive Committee as our deputation on the Toronto City Manager report on ‘Pride Toronto’s compliance with City anti-discrimination policy.’ The City Manager concluded that the term Israeli apartheid did not violate any laws or city anti-discrimination policy (app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2011.EX5.1) Mayor Ford stopped the video after the four minute mark. You can watch the whole thing. After a great deal of political posturing, the Executive Committee finally voted to accept the City Manager’s report, removing a major barrier to Pride funding for 2011.

Creative team: Cathy, Alexis, Richard, Tim, John, Dianne, and QuAIA membership.
