Prime Minister Mark Carney Walks in Toronto Pride Parade
Carney briefly marched with Mayor Olivia Chow and was drenched after goading water-gun wielding revellers at the annual Pride Parade.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney joined Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow at the annual Pride Parade along Yonge Street, playfully goading revellers wielding water guns to drench him with water.
- This appearance marked the first time Carney has marched in the Pride Parade since taking office last year, joining a festival Toronto Pride bills as the second-largest in the world.
- Volunteers held signs showing the faces of the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida, honoring this year's theme: "We Won't Stop."
- Attendees like Chris Collens, who marched with the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan, noted the growth of queer acceptance over the decades he has attended Pride.
- While organizers aim to generate momentum for lasting change through this year's theme, the festival has faced funding shortfalls in recent years following corporate sponsor withdrawals.
