## Resource

Cambridge, Ontario, is roiled after Mayor Jan Liggett silenced 17-year-old Sophie Mills during a Pride flag-raising event, interrupting her speech about a controversial Facebook post by Councillor Adam Cooper. The mayor called the remarks disrespectful, despite Cooper having already faced sensitivity training for violating council conduct after sharing a divisive meme. The incident ignited online outrage, with Mills’s mother sharing video of the interruption and sparking widespread support. Mills later delivered a more powerful speech at another Pride event, saying she felt censored but now stands stronger. Grand River Pride co-founder voiced shock and disappointment, citing long-standing tensions between the mayor’s office and the Pride community, calling for an apology and systemic change to rebuild trust.
