Another Canada Day, another successful Pride Parade along the streets of downtown Toronto. As in previous years one of the largest parades of its kind saw hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets. The Parade itself covers less than a mile or two of Toronto's streets but the geography is far less important than the message it sends.

Toronto Maple Leafs GM/bully Brian Burke is part of an anti-homophobia public service announcement entitled, "You Can Play."
