Mayor of Emo, ON Faces $5,000 fine and 're-education' over pride flag ruling

Sheila Gunn Reid and Drea Humphrey share their thoughts on a tiny Ontario town being forced to fly a pride flag.

On Friday's Rebel Roundup livestream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Drea Humphrey discussed Rebel Reporter David Menzies' recent reporting on government overreach in the town of Emo, Ontario.

The remote township was ordered to fly the Pride flag, despite not having a flagpole, and fined $10,000 by the province's Human Rights Tribunal for refusing to do so.

The town's Mayor Harold McQuay, who called the ruling "extortion," faces a $5,000 fine and re-education, stating, "You don’t have the right to force us to use our municipal infrastructure for your political purposes."

"If they can do this in Emo, to 1,300 people literally in the middle of nowhere, they can do it anywhere," said Sheila. "This is the battleground."

Please chip in to help recoup the cost to send David Menzies and Lincoln Jay to the remote town of Emo, Ontario!

Emo Township is extremely remote — closer to an airstrip in Minnesota than any airstrip in Ontario — and due to a lack of accommodations, David and Lincoln had to sleep in an SUV last night. Operating on a very tight budget, Rebel News asks anyone who can to chip in to help cover David and Lincoln's travel expenses, so that this important story can be covered thoroughly.

    How Maoist! These bullies have only the power people give them. If enough folks oppose the rainbow mafia and refuse to comply, they’ll lose their power.
