Toronto’s Pride 2025 festival in peril as large sponsors pull funding amid U.S. backlash against diversity

Toronto’s Pride 2025 festival is in peril after three of its sponsors pulled their funding amid a massive corporate push against diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the U.S.

Kojo Modeste, executive director at Pride Toronto, told the Star that the companies, which operate on both sides of the border, have informed Pride Toronto that “they will no longer be supporting Pride because their mandate has changed.”

“We strongly believe that it has a lot to do with the shift that we’re seeing happening in the U.S.,” added Modeste.

Despite the appalling crimes involving infants and an international paedophile ring, mainstream media and left-wing circles remain conspicuously silent.

A criminal network of child rapists has just been uncovered in Brittany, involving five men, headed by a man well known locally as an LGBT activist and member of the far-left party La France Insoumise (LFI). Faced with the horror and seriousness of the facts, the media and the French Left are curiously silent.

The case was uncovered by the newspaper Le Parisien, which revealed the actions of Pierre-Alain Cottineau, a 32-year-old carer, now suspected of having handed over young children for whom he was responsible to paedophiles.

Burning a hole on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s desk inside the U.S. Justice Department is a file that could contain Jeffrey Epstein’s final secrets.

And as Donald Trump’s new Attorney General goes through it a host of famous people around the world, including celebrities, politicians and royals, may be feeling increasingly nervous.

Across Pennsylvania Avenue from Bondi’s office, at the FBI’s headquarters, another trove of evidence – which could include video and audio – also remains out of public view.
