Toronto Pride Parade interrupted by Black Lives Matter activists.

They had previously arranged to lead the parade, then when given the opportunity, they held everything up most of the way down the parade route - apparently for the better part of an hour, until a Pride official signed a list of demands.
Toronto Star coverage, with a strange title/lede incongruity. Seems they were planning to run a puff piece and this event was rather inconvenient for them. Here they are on Twitter.
/r/toronto thread, of course. Surprisingly little drama, few people supporting BLM.
The list of demands, apparently. I saw other sources claim the funding demand for "Blockorama" was in fact 13k rather than 10k. Moar.
