Shame on St. John's Pride For Blacklisting Kraken Robotics As announced on the CBC Newfoundland and Labrador news website this morning, July 4, 2024, this year's "Pride on the Pier" event has been cancelled after Harvey's Home Heating could not participate in the event.
This cancellation should be blamed on St. John's Pride's ties to Palestine Action YYT who are known for blacklisting companies, including good ones like Kraken Roboitcs.
Kraken Robotics has done nothing wrong to the LGBTQ+ community, and likely have many members of that community who work for this oceanic robotic company.
Its time for Eddy St. Coeur and St. John's Pride to start focusing more on LGBTQ+ rights as opposed to being a political organization.
Shame on St. John's Pride for singling out and blacklisting Kraken Robotics.
Perhaps St. John's Pride should be ordered to give compensation to Kraken Robotics for shaming its good name.
