The grand opening of Chick-fil-As first international location in Toronto was met by a grand protest Friday by LGBTQ activists, who argued that the chicken-centric chain owners historically antigay policies will clash with the culture of Canada's largest city.
Protestors caused a commotion as soon as the restaurant opened its doors at 10:30 a.m., chanting shame and cluck you, CBC News reports.
"Hey hey, ho ho, Homophobia's got to go, activists can be heard shouting in video shared to Twitter by BlogTo.

Thanks. Im currently at my doctors office but I should be out of here soon and Im within walking distance of the place. Im outside the city otherwise so its not next door to me but there will be others coming soon. This one is one block south of Bloor on Yonge St. if that helps you locate it.
It’s how I bypass the lines at my local one. On weeknights the drivethrough line can go around the restaurant twice or more.
Ok thanks again. Just for tonight Id like to be in line to get the vibe on those lining up. This is a pretty urban location and I doubt it has a drive thru.
Remember all of the protests when Chick-fil-A opened in Manhattan? Try getting into one at lunch time. The lines are out the door and down the sidewalk. Was in Manhattan last month and the Chick-fil-A by my hotel was packed all day.
I had a look at the Google map - I see McDonald’s but Chick-fil-A isn’t there yet. Perhaps Google is waiting to see if the alphabet people shut it down.
Hope you’re chowing down on a yummy chicken sandwich soon!
Thank you.
Thank you.
They’re not Liberals, they are Leftists.
I grew up in Chicago. On the streets we had, chicken-hawks, meaning men who preyed on teen boys. I never see Gays as harmless I see them predators. So now they dont want Chick A Filet because the owner had anti Gay thoughts. Upside down logic.
I see history as Gays abusing young boys back to the Greeks. (Muslim countries it is common.). I never saw straights abusing Gays in my life. These fags got history backwards.
Sadly I got there too late they had closed. The staff were all high fiveing each other so that is all I can report. As far as where it is at the McDonalds at the corner of Yonge and Charles. The new Chic Fil A is at the corner of Yonge and Hayden. It just opened so understandable that its not yet on maps. Not sure but I may be downtown tomorrow but it will be a busy Saturday so who knows.
Why are the Left’s signs always RED AND BLACK, the two colors of Communism and Anarchy? Hint, hint, because the protestors are reds and anarchists hiding behind the LGBQTZ movement.
Besides, I’ll be the Chick Fila in Toronto uses Rhode Island RED chickens in its meals. So what we have are “Reds protesting reds”. Leftist chickenshits versus real chickens.
Only if you let them. Im feeling gay today - how about you?
Cary Grant in "Bringing Up Baby" (1938) when asked why he was wearing Katharine Hepburn's frilly dressing gown, replied "because I just went gay all of a sudden!" [She had stolen his clothes when he was in the shower to keep him with her.]
They have been called that in a deprecating way for a long time.
The Leftists in Canada get exposed. Go Chick-fill-a!
A high-fiving staff means a great opening day! Either that or they’re glad they closed up without anyone getting hurt lol. I hope they did well. I saw some of the pics of the alphabet people....very sad.
As I said I might get there today. If I do I’ll ask how yesterday went. :)
The protesters didn’t last all day. When I drove past at 6 there were none but a big lineup and just usual sidewalk traffic when I got there again at about 11:35.
Too funny. I thought you were describing my daily routine. Except the fishing. Of course.
Mentally ill for sure. We have a CrAzY neighbor. I think IT is a male, but not sure. Looks like identical twin to K D Lang, and I love her. Great singer. Her rendidtion of Leonard Cohen’s HALLELUJAH is Wonderful! But she is someone whom you cannot tell if she is a gal or a dude. Our neighbor looks just like her. Very lesbian looking. And PSYCHO, mentally ill, road rage without the car. Screams and yells at nearly 70 year old granny - me - using the F word more often than a modern movie where it is every other word. Lives alone. His wife dumped him. We do keep our guns at the ready, for defense, and 911 on speed dial. This is Texas and it is legal to shoot anyone on your property who is threatening you or stealing things.... he/she does that, too. So many crazy people these days. Including the vagrants in California.
So I finally got to eat there a week later. Yesterday Saturday September 14th. Still long lineups. It took me about 45 mins. So I asked if it was because of the weekend and was told no it has been solid with long lineups since opening. The Chic Fil A app wont be working in Canada until next year. They plan to open 15 outlets in the Toronto area in the next 5 years. I imagine the rest of Canada as well but who knows for sure.
My impression was the food is good for a fast food outlet and would be a go to choice if it was convenient but not worth a long trip or lineup just for the food. It is fast food after all.
Thanks for the report! I’m very glad to see they’re doing well - I guess a handful of loud obnoxious freaks does not deter normal people from enjoying a chicken sandwich! Even in Toronto.
