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.

Still waiting on a link from the City re unhoused people’s voting rights.

In the meantime: We’ve been in a #housing crisis for the past 2 #Toronto Elections & beyond. Why does John Tory continually co-sign the sales of City/Public owned properties/land to private entities?

If you or someone you know is #unhoused voting is an option available to you too even without a street address.

Thanks @istreasatuatha for succinctly putting forward our global efforts to address rent gouging in this thread.

While we live in different countries the participants are the same; different names, different cities, but the same.

Landlords must be accountable.

My notes reminded me of similar media access, dissemination of info, use of public airwaves concerns raised in previous Elections. While sitting as Mayor John Tory still receives an income from Rogers-- who wants to buy the company that owns Global News.

I had to say the same things to @globalnews again 4 years later re fairness, fair representation, transparency, integrity, being in the position of trust, use of public airwaves, mediocrity, maintaining the status quo, betraying democracy

#TOpoli #TORONTO

When Canada’s media/telecommunications companies are owned by 3 families @CRTCeng why should we believe use of our public airwaves, particularly during Elections, is fair?



#TOpoli #Toronto #electionTO #voteTO #media

Journalistic Principles & Practices get skewed in the mire of politricks, maintaining white supremacy & its mediocrity.

I changed my mind about posting these tweets because @globalnewsto @globalnews has not changed their practices.

#TOpoli #Toronto

4 years later, things remain the same @globalnewsto @globalnews.

White supremacy maintains mediocrity; it works to exclude and control narratives that call its integrity into question all while negatively impacting real issues

Reallocation of a portion of #Toronto Police Services’ more than billion dollar budget could have contributed to building accessible housing, improving services, ensuring accessibility.

Your vote makes a difference in what Toronto is and becomes.

Is Toronto a City for the rich governed by the wealthy or do you have a say in how Government should work for you?

Past/current pronouncements by Mr. Tory are recognized as performative.

History holds receipts.

News headings “Toronto most expensive city in Canada”, “Toronto least affordable”, “Toronto unliveable” dominate the headlines
