    I guess since all gay events will now be funded 100% by the Canadian goverment, there's no need for then to.

    Why would American gay events be sponsored by the Canadian government?

    I just assumed that the Harper government might feel so guilty that they would fund gay events, reguardless of where they were. :D

    The all gay cruise add in the thread is fuckin priceless LOL.

    And either way, I guess it's still a better headline than, "Tim Horton's backs gay marriage event."

    I don't understand what the big fuss is. Everyone knows that gay people don't buy Tim Horton's coffee, they prefer cafe Latte from Starbucks.

    Tim Nortons is a Canuck company trying to gain a foothold in the US. No way they should be getting involved in controversial stuff like this.

    Can you see them sponsoring such an event in Canada? I can't.

    Yup. The event was headed by a Group of Nutters.

    When Starbucks snubbed the canadian soldiers in Afganistan, Tim Hortons supported the soldiers. At least in that case, I'll give them some deserving credit.
