Councillor Colle proposed a motion that affirmed Pride’s value as a cultural event while condemning the use of the term “Israeli Apartheid.”
The motion did not address funding at all and unless the city’s revised anti-discrimination policy, which will be unveiled next week, expressly prohibits it, the fanatical anti-Israel group will be able to participate with tax funds subsidizing their vapid, discriminatory message.
Colle’s motion passed 27-7 following snide questioning from radical leftists councilors Gord Perks and the original owner of the hate group’s website, [City Councilor] Krystin Wong-Tam.
As tax funds may yet give a platform to the hate group, Pride Toronto will come under continued economic pressure, as boycott and protest campaigns are anticipated against sponsors of Pride who support an event that promoted hatred of the Jewish state.
