Mayoral stuff is… ugh. Looking at @ShaunLoney platform, specifically reducing police spending by having them pay non-profits for the value of workload reduction. My questions is… how?! Council can’t dictate what WPS spend their $ on, just how much they have. 1/
As @bkives and @WpgPoliceHarm have pointed out. This sounds like the potential to overload already overloaded orgs. This, to me, fundamentally doesn’t do anything to deal with the root issues of policing. @ShaunLoney why this? 2/
It seems like a play to not seem too left to those on the right who are against any police reform/defunding. It also seems cons’esque in the style of offloading public services to outside orgs, in this case non-profits.

Myself and 5 other candidates were told today we are officially excluded from the upcoming CBC televised debate. #wpg22

My response:

"I am greatly disappointed in CBC’s decision to exclude numerous candidates from their upcoming televised debate, based solely on one poll.

"This goes directly against CBC's mandate in many ways - to inform, reflect the regional and cultural diversity of Canada, and contribute to the development of a shared national consciousness.

“CBC's decision means no women and no Black people will be involved in this debate."
"This is unconscionable and does not reflect the diversity of Winnipeg, Manitoba or Canada.

“I understand CBC's concern to avoid the often silly antics of the last televised mayoral debate."

"#People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

@energy106fm & Evanov tried to make me feel like I am disposable.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define them as reputable?

#winnipegpolice makes me feel like they will only and always be #Winnipeg's fascist brotherhood.

@themarugroup tried to make me feel like I am insignificant to their global worldview.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define @wpgpolice and Maru as reputable?

Thread #2 below about the @cityofwinnipeg “Corporate Advertising Policy.” A 🧵, the story.

3.2.e: "Only appear in reputable publications." How is it defined? Opinions: not part of #diversity & inclusion. Reputable is an opinion.

Ex: @energy106fm affirmed values & visions to be “one of the strongest media allies to the #LGBTQ community."

Before that, #Energy hired Dave Wheeler, a host released from his last radio position. The release was due to #transphobic #comments after receiving suspensions for racist comments.

Does @cityofwinnipeg define @energy106fm as reputable?

04/28: I spoke to the @cityofwinnipeg supporting the SPIRIT of the "Corporate Advertising Policy.”

A randy night at the senior's centre has more teeth than this #policy.

It took #Winnipeg months to put "We prefer #kindness" in print.

This is long. A 🧵 …
(Actually, 3 🧵’s)
Watch -

Our elected officials are tone deaf to harm corporate #Winnipeg enables. Context is key to understanding and interrupting my presentation proved that.

Including #wpg22 for candidates. Please address this in your campaign.
