...and we should not be swayed by a recent poll that indicated 94% of respondents would NOT be attending the parade and possibly the whole issue of funding would be mute if parade organizers passed the hat around the 1.2M attendees.
Attacks on Pride: An open letter to Toronto Councillors July 6, 2011
By Elle Flanders
I urge you to drop the witch hunt against Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, the LGBT community and the larger agenda to defund Toronto Pride. It is time to calm the rhetoric.

Are CPP/OAS Not Universal Plans...
- ...I would love to see an increase in both these plans and am willing to stop funding arts and crafts, reducing the beauracracy in Ottawa, stop funding for bi-lingual and diversity programs, etc. etc. to accomplish the increase.

t around 3:45 p.m. yesterday afternoon on Toronto’s Classical 96.3 FM, just before playing Una Furtiva Lagrima, a Donizetti aria from Peruvian glamour tenor Juan Diego Florez’s Grammy nominated album, Bel Canto Spectacular, it was time for a news break. Stop the music! Here’s the latest major development: The New Democratic Party of Ontario wants the province to create a new provincial pension plan that would cover the “six out of 10 Ontario residents without a workplace pension, but it wouldn’t be mandatory.”
Since Classical 96.3 FM is owned by MZMedia, which is owned by Moses Znaimer, who controls a flock of interests as part of his micro-media empire under the brand name Zoomers, aimed at Baby Boomers with zip, and since Zoomer also includes ownership of the profit-making Canadian Association of Retired People (CARP), of which Mr. Znaimer is executive director, and since CARP just launched yesterday its own agit-prop campaign to embarrass Ottawa into setting up a new national “supplementary” pension scheme, it is obviously no coincidence that Classical 96.3 FM should find a new NDP-promoted state-run pension scheme to be of news value.
