All right, let's look at results. Chanel & Shannon got told that their hatred isn't welcome by the community once again.

Shannon got less than 10% of the vote, being crushed by Lyra, who pulled 55%

Chanel came in dead last with 18%

#ottawa #ottvote #OttawaVotes
This is especially sweet as Shannon doesn't live in Zone 6, he's only running there because he's a transphobe and he wanted to specifically run against Lyra. Except he got owned once again.
Other candidates profiled did poorly tonight.

Rasha Alnaqeeb - 14%, 3/3
John Bitzan - 11%, 2/2
Maher Jebara - 27%, 2/4

Attention #Ottawa, did you know that today, OCDSB trustee candidate Shannon Boschy will be speaking at a rally in support of "the worst school trustee in British Columbia" organized by a far right group that was recently laughed out of court?
2/ Just a warning up front, Shannon Boschy is the most vile, reprehensible human being running for school board in Ottawa so far. Not only are his views abhorrent, but he is also by all accounts a pretty terrible person, which we will have to get into.
3/ Today, OCDSB Zone 6 candidate Shannon Boschy will be speaking at the Supeme Court at a rally for embattled Chilliwack school trustree Barry Neufeld organized by Action4Canada. Other speakers include PPC leader Maxime Bernier, Campaign Life Coalition spokesperson

🧵So, since I made the post earlier today, #Ottawa school board candidate Chanel Pfahl decided to show her support for Barry Neufeld, a man known as “the worst school trustee in British Columbia” who is in town for a case tomorrow. 1/ ImageImage
Barry Neufeld is a long-time Chilliwack school trustee and far right demagogue who is notable for, among other things, hating LGBT people, spreading anti-semitic nonsense, calling local reporters the r-slur, and accusing Dr. Theresa Tam of being secretly transgender 2/

Sigh… I guess it's time for this post. #Ottawa, we need to talk about anti-trans convoy supporter Chanel Pfahl running in OCDSB Zone 8 and why we can't allow her anywhere near a school board seat. #Ottvote #Ottpoli #onpoli 1/
Chanel has already been reported on by CAHN, and in other twitter posts, but I’m going to go into some more detail here. antihate.ca/anti_transgend…

Anyways, Chanel recently tweeted out details about student support meetings for marginalized students in order to mock them because she’s a horrible person. Naturally, this got picked up by dog shampoo connoisseur Jonathan Kay.

Let's break down how sharing Google Meet codes publicly puts kids at risk.

Some common responses I've seen from people seeking to minimize the impact of what Chanel Pfahl did yesterday - and why they're wrong - below.

#onted #onpoli #OttVote #OCDSB
"It was just the nickname, not the joining information."

The nickname IS the joining information. You don't need a link to join a Meet if it's been created with a nickname. You can enter the nickname and go directly to the meeting.

Ergo, Chanel shared joining information.
"They're locked to OCDSB accounts anyway, so no harm done."

Even if a meeting is locked down, non-OCDSB accounts can still request entry to the Meet. That could be abused by trolls to overwhelm hosts of meetings with requests to join, which play a sound and create a pop-up.

🧵Let’s take a look at Ottawa Catholic School Board Zone 3, Paul Safi, and dig into what his Campaign Life Coalition endorsement really means. Did you know they have a different questionnaire for public and Catholic boards? #Ottawa #Ottvote 1/ Image
At least for Ottawa, the CLC’s survey for the public school board consists of three questions, focused on parental notice about “controversial issues” like abortion, homosexuality and contraception.

These questions take the format of a dog-whistle, phrasing everything 2/ Image
as a matter of parental rights. Of course, we know and they know what they are actually getting at, and CLC is clear that what they are really concerned with in terms of “controversial issues” is abortion, homosexuality, and contraception. But by phrasing it as 3/

I wanted to stop focusing on the #RideauVanier race, but our friend Tyler is too ridiculous to ignore. He got a shout out from Rupa Subramanya yesterday, Of course, Tyler is trying to play the victim but do a terrible job of it. #Ottawa #OttVote 1/ Image
This interaction is also illustrative of some broader tropes that we’ve seen in the convoy and in the far-right in North America, so it’s worth looking at. 2/
Here is Tyler complaining that nobody is safe from “the mob” nowadays. Remember, Tyler supported and was part of an actual mob that terrorized the people he wants to represent for three weeks straight. The gall of this guy…

Now more than ever, it’s important to know your school board candidates. In OCDSB Zone 2 (Kanata), Ashley Darling is running for an open seat. Her website seems pretty bog-standard for someone running for school board, but is there more going on? #ottawa #ottvote🧵 1/ Image
Ashley Darling has been endorsed by the Campaign Life Coalition, and has been rated “Pro-life, pro-parental rights,” having given “perfect answers” to their 2022 questionnaire. 2/ Image
The CLC questionnaire in 2022 consists of three questions, basically asking candidates what they feel about allowing parents to pull their students out of anything involving "controversial issues such as abortion, contraception, and homosexuality" 3/ Image

This morning we learned that as of September 9th, 2022 the Campaign Life Coalition, a longstanding anti-choice organization, is now a registered third party advertiser in the @ottawacity Municipal Election. What does this mean for voters? Image
Eroding abortion rights and access, the CLC’s main mandate, is on the table as an election issue. In their words, “there is no more important election issue.” It means that now is the time to vote for comprehensive sexual health education, improved abortion access & repro justice
As a third-party advertiser, the CLC is registered to legally run election and campaign-related materials separate from individual candidates. This means that as a voter you might see an increase in anti-choice ads and materials in and around the city.

When will @cmckenney, @shawnmenard, @JoelHardenONDP and @HorizonOttawa acknowledge what they’ve heard at the door: their favoured candidate for Zone 9 school board trustee, Dr Nili Kaplan Myrth is being investigated by College of Physicians and Surgeons for potential breach…
Of professional code of conduct. Kaplan-Myrth is alleged to have sent emails to her clinic patient list soliciting for votes, donations, volunteer-ship, and lawn signs. Great to see our leaders wittingly backing a person who is potentially pressuring their patients …
As a school board trustee, you will sit in-camera, handle sensitive information and have confidential contact for parents and teachers and students. How can you in good faith trust that Dr. KM will act responsibly given what you know???

We're happy to be out tabling at the #Kanata Mayoral debate tonight to talk to Kanata residents about our movement for a better #ottcity!

We'll also be livetweeting the Mayoral debate tonight so follow along with us in the thread below!
First up with opening statements are Param Singh, former police officer at OPS; former mayor Bob Chiarelli (who still reads his statements off the sheet after all these years); and Ade Olumide, who is focused on a police complaints bill of rights.
Two comments from Ade: “I’m not sure why they put me next to the police officer…” and “I would like to hear how Mark Sutcliffe is going to pay for his environmental plan.”

And next up is Sutcliffe - who is the first to stand up during his opening statement, which is something?

I’ve noticed something lately: @cmckenney’s Twitter feed keeps reporting places they’re door-knocking around the #OttCity, whereas @_MarkSutcliffe’s Twitter feed keeps reporting businesses and personalities he’s visited.
