- Don Martin: Pride goes before Ablonczy's fall
-
It may be the heartland of the ‘it’s Adam-and-Eve not Adam-and-Steve’ crowd, but Saskatoon still hosted a Pride Festival last month featuring family walks, a pub crawl, the obligatory gay parade and a prom night drag queen show.
The federal government reportedly found it worth $9,000 of your tax dollars to support this annual gay lifestyle celebration for the first time, courtesy of Heritage Minister James Moore.
Last I checked, Moore is still forking over cash to anyone who performs a decent headstand. Not so fortunate is Calgary MP Diane Ablonczy.
The way low-key Saskatchewan MP Brad Trost explains it, Minister of State Ablonczy got the shepherd's crook from her tourism industry cheque presentation duties after delivering Toronto Pride Week organizers a $400,000 grant last month.
We take pride in investing in Pride': McGuinty
Premier's team happy to fund gay festival while federal Tories bicker over contribution
