Elections shouldn’t be about who can afford to buy Elections or how much wealth a Candidate has— that’s white supremacy tactic 101.2b.

FYI, a question currently before the Superior Court of Ontario regarding the 2018 #Toronto Municipal Elections to be answered is:
“Whether the Election is valid?”
There was already a ruling in the Superior Court that the Clerk shall retain the ballots.

@trapdinawrpool Exactly!
@trapdinawrpool Why would John Tory want to draw any attention to the Court of Appeal’s pending review of Justice Belobaba’s Decision to uphold the Constitutio, democracy and representation rights?
John Tory wants to minimize any attention to the Court being packed on Monday & Tuesday.

@trapdinawrpool John Tory would prefer Torontonians be ignorant & passive about protecting our rights while he & the Province work towards selling off #Toronto to their friends.

Yes, @VidyaKauri Saron blocked me after I asked her about what @680NEWS broadcasted.
I tried to reach her by phone.
Note that I’ve also called out Saron and Jennifer Keesmaat for appropriating my ideas and touting them as their own. No #accountability there either.

The important point to keep in mind regarding section 33 of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms is why it was included. Think about what was going on at the time and why the Charter was even created.
Sect. 33 is a white supremacy tool that was included to make white men feel safe.
Sect. 33 is a white supremacy tool that was included to make white men feel safe.
Now that this fact has been said, let’s get to the heart of addressing the attempt to abuse power in order to maintain white supremacy.
It’s 2018, time to rule section 33 unconstitutional when used to subvert Canadians’ inalienable rights to a free & democratic society.

History has taught us many lessons.
Some people learn from them and some people don’t.
During the time when then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and other white male elected Representatives were working on ensuring that underrepresented and marginalized Communities were protected

It’s interesting, this time 4 years ago several debates had already taken place. I also learned that many of the debates were specifically held for specific Candidates- a way to use the airwaves to promote if you will.

What the Jane & Finch Community audience publicly & actively did was the example of what we should be doing.
Jane & Finch’s example was the example of outrage for the nonsense going on during that election.
I expected to see this response at other ‘debates’.
