You are using an example of convenience on this one. "White people" are the only group that it would be frowned upon in Canada to have a "pride" parade. The reasons behind this are many and obviously well know, and yes indeed very debatable, but that's not the point of this discussion.
The point is, any minority group, whether that be based on race, religion, beliefs or sexual orientation would be allowed to organize a "pride" parade in Canada as a basic right, and that is what the relevant comparison is in your example, not the very complex reasons why this doesn't apply to white people in Canada. Russia is denying this community basic human rights, the fact that you can cherry pick examples that try ton suit your argument doesn't change that.
