Toronto Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti is conceding that hundreds of thousands of dollars of Pride funding already promised to organizers for 2011 will likely be delivered.
Mammoliti sent a release to media outlets Monday detailing his stance on publicly funded parades and marches. He had been expected to put forward a motion Tuesday to withhold the nearly $130,000 in grant money already committed to Pride organizers.
Best bullshit:
Mammoliti’s watchful eyes are not resting solely on Pride.
“I have to congratulate the Pride Parade and the organizers because what they’ve done is they’ve opened up the eyes of City Hall to the larger picture. City taxpayers’ dollars should not be going towards any venue, including marches and parades, that have a political message slant to them.”
Mammoliti confirmed that if it were up to him, this would include funding for any artistic endeavour with a political message.
Yet they can hire Don Cherry to spew out his nonsense at the start of Mayor Ford's time in office.
You are full of shit Giorgio.
Thank goodness blogs are not covered in this ban. Mr. Mammoliti, you're a right wing bully and thug.
Got that political message?
