Doug Ford Won't Say If He Will March In Annual Pride Parade

The Canadian Press, 01 Jun, 2018 01:12 PM
    SAULT STE MARIE, Ont. — Doug Ford won't say whether he'll march in Toronto's annual Pride parade if he's elected Ontario premier.
     
     
    The Progressive Conservative leader says he has not yet decided if he will attend and participate in the event if he wins the June 7 vote.
     
     
    Ford says he will sit down after the election and make a decision, but for how his focus is on other issues.
     
     
    The Tory leader has made controversial remarks about the Pride Parade before, describing it in 2014 as an event where "middle-aged men with pot bellies" ran down the street "buck naked."
     
     
    Ford's brother, the late former Toronto mayor Rob Ford, courted controversy by not attending the Pride Parade, saying the event conflicted with a scheduled family weekend at the cottage.
     
     
    Former Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown became the first Tory leader to head an official delegation in the parade in 2015.
