(Ottawa Gay) Pride Festival Denied Funding (and may be cancelled!)

Mein Gott!
Harper takes the helm and the sun starts to shine again in Canada...

I don't know if Harper has anything to do with it; it was never well-attended (compared to Toronto or Montreal). It had to do with City Hall primarily; likely conservatives representing suburban and rural wards shutting it down.

Mid-sized cities seldom have huge gay pride events.
