Government Takes Money from Bank Account of Mayor Who Refused to Celebrate ‘Pride Month’

A Canadian mayor is facing the consequences for refusing to bow at the “pride” altar.
The Toronto Sun reported Saturday that Emo Township Mayor Harold McQuaker was fined $5,000 by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario for comments made in 2020 opposing a request for the town council to declare June “pride month” in Emo.
His offending comment, according to CTV Winnepeg, was, “There’s no flag being flown for the other side of the coin … There’s no flags being flown for the straight people.”

McQuaker was also ordered to attend a “Human Rights 101” course, often referred to as a “re-education” course.
He said he would refuse to comply with either, telling the Sun, “I utterly refuse to pay the $5,000 because that’s extortion.”

Canada Proud posted the story on Dec. 3 with a picture of McQuaker standing outside the Emo Municipal Office.
