Saskatchewan Party Excluded from Regina Pride Parade

Refusal Motivated by Political Contradictions

Riviera Bonneau, co-chair of Queen City Pride, expressed her surprise at the request from the ruling Saskatchewan Party to participate in the upcoming Regina Pride Parade. According to Bonneau, extending an invitation to party members seemed inconsistent with their recent actions, which she views as contrary to the interests of the LGBTQ+ community. “We all felt a little frustrated and confused and a little ick about it,” Bonneau said Monday. “You can’t pretend you’re our ally, join our parade and do this whole thing while actively hurting members of our community.”
