Protesters surround opening of Chick-fil-A's first Canadian location (Photos - freak show)

Chick-fil-A hatched in Canada today, and Toronto is not all aboard the fried chicken train.

The Atlanta-based restaurant chain, best known for its sandwiches served with a side of controversy, is now open at 1 Bloor Street East, Toronto.

The premier Toronto location is the first stand-alone outlet outside of the United States… if you don’t count the counter at the Calgary International Airport that opened in 2014, which has since shuttered.

The opening was met by a large protest, led by Liberation TO and The 519 and its Army of Lovers, which was organized through Facebook and online over the last week.

The 519’s website offers the following reasons behind their plan to protest: Chick-fil-A has given millions of dollars to anti-LGBTQ2S organizations, including known hate groups and proponents of conversion therapy, and continues to do so every year. Chick-fil-A does not offer protection, benefits, or even diversity training for its LGBTQ2S employees (as evidenced in the Human Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index). While Canadian laws might offer more protection to workers, we stand against any corporation that discriminates against equity-seeking groups legally or illegally. Many US cities, campuses, and retail outlets have refused to allow Chick-fil-A to locate within their spaces, and/or have been vocal opponents of the corporation’s hateful values. Toronto and the rest of Canada need to be next in line.

Looking at that mess, I feel the same compunction as when I see a thundering mass of ants charging into my garage... Break out the can of Black Flag and spray...

I’d walk right through them, go in, and have a sandwich.

Me and my “little buddy”.

Amen to that. I went there quite a bit when I was down south.

Dear Chic-Fil-A, please open some locations in Alberta.

I like Chic Filet, but next time your in the Carolinas, try BoJangles.. As a southerner, my opinion is that is the best.

Protesters should be circulating petitions to Pope Frances for signatures to declare practicing while constipated a mortal sin/s

Evidently Toronto doesn't have any laws against unlawful assembly or blocking a thoroughfare. Where are the police?

For those who don’t know, 1 Blood st is a prime location in TO for any resturant. Right on the 2 main subway lines. The place is probably packed with patrons...just like all the other chick-fil-as.

I’ve been to most states, but not the Carolinas yet. I will remember that and try it.

In Nashville, there’s a place called Jim and Nick’s or something to that effect, I went there more than I care to admit, so delicious. We do have two places here in Grande Prairie that do southern style briskets etc and it’s tasty, but also quite expensive and not quite the same as I had there.

I’m forced to admit that I find Tennessee style vinegar based barbecue the best, and even like coleslaw on my BBQ.
I worked about 1 hr east of Nashville for 2 yrs machining large generator equipment. Loved Tennessee.
