Animal rights activists on Thursday took a stand against luxury parka maker Canada Goose's sponsorship of the Toronto Film Festival just as the star-studded event got underway.
"Canada Goose is a Canadian company. We're Canadian and proud to be from Canada, but the fact that Canada Goose is exploiting animals is obscene," Toronto activist Rhea Akler toldThe parka maker is sponsoring the juried best Canadian film award at TIFF, which comes with $30,000 in prize money. TIFF in a statement defended its continuing sponsorship from Canada Goose, as it argued the global retailer "is abiding by all applicable Canadian laws and continues to support Canadian and international filmmakers through a wide variety of sponsorships and investments."
