Brad Trost is horrified. Diane Ablonczy, as Minister of Balloons and Parades, is probably looking to see if she has a few spare millions in her budget or if she is left with any budget at all to fund this new venture.
Times change, and so is Regina's yearly exhibition.
Buffalo days will be no more, at least, not in name.
The multi-day event is being re-branded as the Queen City Ex.
Federal Tourism Minister Diane Ablonczy has given up responsibility for overseeing a major stimulus fund that sparked controversy in Conservative Party ranks after it gave $400,000 to a Toronto gay pride celebration in mid-June.
Conservative MP Brad Trost, a critic of the Pride Week grant, is suggesting that the Harper government stripped Ms. Ablonczy of responsibility for the fund as a punishment.
Meanwhile no word out of Regina, as yet, on how they will market this new Queen City
Ex but officials are quick to point out that it is not connected to Gay Pride.
And no word as to whether Brad Trost will be honorary parade marshall
