GREAT IDEA TO ADD BOTH FLAGS. Ford Shouldn’t be so nasty about it though. Thank the Lord he is only mayor by name
I agree with the Mayor in this case. This is about Canada and not gay canadians. Who cares if who is gay and who isn’t? Take that flag down. This is the olympics, not a bath house.
as 99% of the population here in Toronto and in Canada. And I agree that Canadian flag is more appropriate way to support our Olympic team.
They mayor needs to be reminded that equality is a right, not a privilege and our charter affords us this. Raising the rainbow flag on this occasion is not unpatriotic, in fact it’s quite the opposite. It’s no wonder there are so few people in the mayoral race right now. Perhaps many are waiting for him to self implode before they enter. He also needs to remember that the job as the head of this city is to represent ALL people.
he is so ignorant on so many levels.. does he not think that gay people are Canadians. You don’t have to be straight to be a Canadian. omg make him go away already.
I worry about my mayor: he’s acting like someone who is struggling with his gender identity.
