Pierre Poilievre is the only federal leader whose team has not said whether he will attend Pride celebrations this summer.

The Conservative leader’s office only recalls that Melissa Lantsman, the deputy leader, attended a Pride flag-raising ceremony on Parliament Hill earlier this month in Ottawa.

Mr. Poilievre has not publicly participated in activities of the Pride month in June during his travels across the country to meet with community groups during Quebec National Day, Italian Heritage Month or the Toronto Christian Music Festival.

The groups LGBTQ Across North America, Pride Month is celebrated in June, although festivals and parades take place throughout the summer in various Canadian cities.

And the other leaders?

The NDP leader’s office has confirmed that Jagmeet Singh will march in Toronto’s Pride parade this weekend, a tradition that dates back to his time as an MPP.

Justin Trudeau’s office confirmed that the prime minister would participate in Pride events this summer across the country, but did not release details.

The Bloc Québécois leader’s office also confirmed that Yves-François Blanchet would participate in Pride events, as would Green Party leader Elizabeth May.
