🌈 We Stand Unapologetically for the Community 🌈

At Pride Radio Canada, we don’t just play music or talk about the issues—we take a stand. We’ve called out Pierre Poilievre for his anti-woke statements and invited him multiple times to be interviewed by our station. He refuses.

We’ve called out Premier Doug Ford for putting profits over people and invited him to answer to the community. He won’t.

We are the only radio station in Canada willing to call out politicians when they’re wrong and challenge them to explain their actions. This comes at a cost. Some companies refuse to advertise with us because we prioritize integrity over profit.

But we’d rather struggle than let political leaders go unchallenged. As media, it’s our duty to demand better—to hold them accountable, no matter the personal cost.

You can help. Share our station. Let people know that Pride Radio Canada puts the community first, not corporate profits. Tell businesses we’re doing what’s right and they should stand with us.

We all deserve better.
People over profits. Period.

📢 Together, we will not stop. Community supporting community. 💪

🌈 We Must Stand Together and VOTE for Change 🌈

It’s not enough to talk about change—we have to make it happen. One of the most powerful tools we have is our VOTE. The challenges we face today—corporate greed, the housing crisis, inaccessible healthcare, rising inequality—will not fix themselves.

💸 The rich are getting richer, but we can vote for leaders who will hold them accountable.
🏢 Big corporations making record profits while workers suffer? Let’s elect those who will fight for fair wages.
🏠 Affordable housing isn’t a dream—it’s a right we must demand.
🩺 Healthcare is a basic human right, and we need leaders who will prioritize it for ALL.

And here’s the truth: your vote MATTERS. If you’ve ever thought your vote won’t make a difference, think again. It does—now more than ever. Together, we have the power to elect leaders who put PEOPLE FIRST, not profits.

At Pride Radio Canada, we believe in a brighter, more inclusive future for everyone. But we can’t get there unless we use our voices and our votes.

📅 Mark your calendars. Show up. Let’s ensure those who don’t stand for equality, justice, and human dignity never hold power over us.

Change starts with YOU. Vote like your future depends on it—because it does. 🏳️‍🌈✊

🎭 Big News! Ajahnis Charley is Joining Rainbow Riot! 🌈

Get ready to laugh like never before because Ajahnis Charley (they/them/that b*tch) is officially part of the Rainbow Riot lineup on January 25th, 2025 at Five Points Theatre in Barrie!

💥 Who is Ajahnis Charley?
Ajahnis is a trailblazer in comedy. They’re one of Just For Laughs’ New Faces of Comedy: Canada and an alum of The Second City. You’ve seen them in HBO’s Station Eleven and the Bell Media sitcom Shelved. But that’s not all—they’ve written for some of Canada’s best comedy platforms, including This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Beaverton, and Because News. Oh, and if you’ve ever heard a pun about butts on Canadian TV, they probably had a hand in it.

Ajahnis’ award-winning directorial debut I AM GAY is just the tip of their creative iceberg. Their solo show THOTS & PRAYERS has played internationally, and Wanted was crowned Best of the Fest at Montreal Sketchiest. They’re also the co-founder of The Untitled Black Sketch Project, Canada’s first all-Black sketch ensemble.

🌟 Why You Should Be There:
This isn’t just a comedy show—it’s an unforgettable night for a cause. Rainbow Riot raises funds for the Gilbert Centre’s Q***r and Trans Youth Program, helping youth across Simcoe County and Muskoka access critical resources, mental health support, and safe spaces.

🎟️ Tickets are moving fast, so don’t wait! Grab yours now: https://tprocob.ticketpro.ca/en/pages/1629237817

🔥 Come see Ajahnis Charley and the rest of this powerhouse lineup bring the laughs while supporting an incredible cause. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this.

🌟🎤 Introducing Silas Foxton: Making Their Comedy Debut at Rainbow Riot! 🎭🌈

Brace yourselves, because Unicorn Feather Community Media is throwing a wild card into the Rainbow Riot mix—and we couldn’t be more excited!

✨ Meet Silas Foxton:
By day, Silas is a talented tattoo artist in Barrie, known for their bold designs and steady hand. By night (or at least on January 25th, 2025), they’re trading in the tattoo gun for a mic and making their stand-up comedy debut on the Rainbow Riot stage!

This set is hot, fresh, and absolutely untested—which means anything can happen, and it’s guaranteed to be 100% authentic Silas.

🔥 Why Silas?
Because Jay (yes, that Jay) thought Silas was funny enough to subject the rest of you to—and honestly, we trust Jay’s judgment. Silas has been an aspiring comedian for years and is finally stepping into the spotlight to bring you a debut performance you’ll be talking about long after the show ends.

🌈 Why It Matters:
Net proceeds from Rainbow Riot will support the Gilbert Centre’s Q***r and Trans Youth Program, offering mental health resources, safe spaces, and support services for 2SLGBTQ+ youth across Simcoe County and Muskoka District.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now: https://tprocob.ticketpro.ca/en/pages/1629237817

💬 Come cheer on Silas, laugh until your face hurts, and support a cause that truly matters. First sets only happen once, and trust us—you’ll want to say you were there.
