Calgary’s mayor says “hate-fuelled” demonstrations cannot go on after a scheduled drag event was postponed for safety concerns due to a planned protest — adding the city will use a bylaw to fine people communicating hateful messages.
Franca Gualtieri, executive director of Chinook Blast, said the organization is aware of protests that were planned for the festival’s Drag on Ice with DJ Gaysnakes at Olympic Plaza on Saturday and Sunday.
