Police in Toronto are asking city councillors to cut $260,000 from Pride Toronto’s funding in retaliation against the LGBTQ nonprofit after Pride membership voted to implement the demands of Black Lives Matter-Toronto in January.
Among issues of funding and accountability, BLM-TO made one demand that would prove controversial — banning uniformed police floats and recruiters from all future parades, in recognition of the racist and homophobic legacy of the Toronto police.
