Canadian Politics Today

That would be ignoring the long history of Pride in the first place. It was a protest movement against the police harassing the gay community.

Yes that happened.  There's also some questions about police investigating the Bruce McArthur killings.

I assume it's also gay cops marching/dancing in the parade.  The question i'm asking is if the Pride ban is productive or counterproductive.  Whether they march or are banned, it's a largely symbolic gesture, it's not changing much on the ground, other than breeding more resentment.
