Toronto cancels permit for 15th annual Jesus parade
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/28/14 | Arthur Weinreb

If organizers are insistent in holding the event they could always agree to march in the nude or carry “Death to Israel!” signs. That should do it for the city once known as 'Toronto the Good'.

With less than a month to go before the parade expected to draw thousands of participants, Toronto bureaucrats told the organizers of the annual event that it could not be held. Although excuses were given, there is no other logical explanation other than the cancellation of the event, held without incident for the past 14 years, was nothing more than Christian-bashing.

According to Canada Christian College principal Charles McVety, one of the organizers of the annual event, a permit to hold the Jesus parade was applied for back on Feb. 22. It was only a few days ago, less than a month before the scheduled Sept. 6 event, that the city advised they were cancelling permission for the parade. The main reason given was that the planned route on Queens Park Circle was going to be under construction. Too bad, so sad.

I saw a sign that said “If you need help, call Jesus - 213 555 1234”. I was in a bad way, so I called. A fellow showed up, with a lawn mower ;)
