A bunch of cabochons.
Sorry, there are no other words to describe the people at the head of the Montreal Pride organization.
Cabochons.
Cancel the same morning!
You have a year to plan a fashion show.
Un an.
That’s your job. That’s why you get millions of dollars in grants.
To plan a parade.
One, not two.
And.
That’s why thousands of people come from all over Quebec and around the world.
To see the Pride Parade in Montreal. Party city recognized internationally for its openness and for its Pride parade, which is one of the most exciting and festive in the world.
However, the very morning of the event, while community organizations who are dragging the devil by the tail are hanging their last banner on their allegorical float…
While thousands of participants who made their way to Montreal are trying on their costumes and giving themselves a final blush…
While Ginette and Gérard put their last can of Coke in their cooler to cheer on the gays on Sainte-Catherine, in support of their grandson who came out last week…
You announce that you are pulling the plug… because you forgot to hire the necessary personnel to ensure security of your event???
SOS the City!
And not even fuck to call the City of Montreal to ask for help!
That’s cabochon from cabochon!
Seems like the first thing that pops into your head when you realize you’re missing volunteers because you’ve been wondering how many letters and numbers to add to LGBTQ2+ instead of doing your job for a year, your real job, the job for which you are given millions in subsidies, is to call the mayor on the PC!
It is sure that the City will help you, let’s see!
The Pride Parade is one of the city’s major events!
One of his best ads!
A golden business card!
It is sure that Valérie Plante will struggle like a motorist who turns in circles in the streets of the Plateau!
But no.
Not even bright enough to do that. “Hon, we don’t have enough staff, well, we’ll have to cancel…”
At this point, it’s an insult to cabochons all over the world to call these people cabochons.
A new word should be invented.
A captain in the storm!
And Simon Gamache, the general manager of Pride Montreal, who announced that he was not thinking of resigning!
“I think, in the storm, you need someone. For the moment, it’s me, ”he had the nerve to say on Radio-Canada.
“It’s fundamental for us to make sure that everything we do is responsible for our communities,” said Simon Gamache when he announced his organization’s decision to ban police officers from participating in the parade. Pride on the pretext that the SPVM was not sufficiently “inclusive”.
“Responsible”?
Are you kidding, Mr. Gamache?
