Doug Ford won’t say if he will march in annual Pride parade
SAULT STE MARIE, Ont. — Doug Ford won’t say whether he’ll march in Toronto’s annual Pride parade if elected Ontario premier, prompting his rivals to question the Tory leader’s support of the LGBTQ community.
Ford said Friday that he has not yet decided whether he will attend and participate in the event if he wins the June 7 vote.
“When I get elected we’ll sit down and we’ll make that decision,” the Progressive Conservative leader said at a campaign stop in Sault Ste Marie, Ont. “My main focus is the economy, is making sure we create jobs and have this province thrive. I am zoned in on that.”
NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Ford’s indecision sends a message.
