City councillors will waste a lot of time this week discussing things they shouldn’t want to or have to. Despite what you might read on Twitter, all are certainly entitled to express their opinions about Pride’s conflict with BLM — city councillors included. And I support Black Lives Matter, because they’re trying to get police to stop killing so many people. I support Pride, because it’s a big fun celebration of hard-won liberty and equality. In a healthy city, police absolutely should be marching in a parade like Pride — and no parade like Pride should be compelled, by anyone, to decide one way or the other.
