Tories once again deny funds to Montreal gay event - Online

I have a piece on xtra.ca today, about the funding cuts to festivals that began as far back as 2006--in this case, the Black and Blue festival in Montréal.

This piece should have gone out nearly two weeks ago, but I was kept waiting on a quote by Denis Coderre, the Liberal heritage critic, which never did come. (A friend of mine, who has dealt with him in the past, said that he wasn't surprised).  But Mauril Bélanger was very obliging, and I thank him for taking the time to speak to us in Coderre's stead.
