  "account": "After a week of daily Pride celebrations, Montreal's Fierté Montréal parade is now taking over the city's downtown area. The 20th annual event drew crowds as organizers ramped up security measures following a deadly attack at the Berlin Pride festival last month. In response to concerns about corporate sponsorship, police presence, and colonialism, a leftist LGBTQ+ group called Wild Pride has organized a second march starting at 2 p.m. in protest of these issues.",
  "summary": "Fierté Montréal is holding its 20th parade, where thousands gathered to watch the festivities, with security increased after the deadly attack at Berlin Pride in July.",
