Halifax Pride: Pride and Halifax

halifax pride: I think it is a great message to the rest of Canada and actually to the rest of the world that our leader embraces pride and embraces the LGBTQ community in Halifax, said Leblanc, according to The Chronicle Herald. I think it's wonderful. And she was thrilled to see Halifax Pride Festival garner such high-power support after 30 years. But one year after Trudeau became the first Canadian Prime Minister to march in the Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver pride festivals, some LGBTQ activists say that his presence overshadows that of others, such as ethnic minorities. For Leblanc however, Halifax Pride retained a simpler meaning. However, leading the Halifax Pride Festival parade was the Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance, representing LGBTQ First Nations people from across Atlantic Canada, another pride first for Nova Scotia.
