A Pride organization has garnished the bank account of a Northwestern Ontario mayor following his refusal to pay a $5,000 fine imposed for voting against a motion to recognize Pride month in his community.
Borderland Pride, an LGBT group serving the Rainy River District in Northwestern Ontario, filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario after its request to have June 2020 declared Pride month in the township of Emo was defeated in a 3-2 vote.
