Here's the thing politicians and their strategists need to understand about "winning" Scarborough.

Show the fuck up.

#Scarborough #ScarTO #Toronto #TOpoli
Like the bar is so fucking low that all the Ford's have to do is have an event a few times a year.

What does that say about YOUR campaigns?

That you're being outmaneuvered by dipshits because they make appearances a few times a year?
The fact that "progressives" will not put time in the region where over 70% of the population is racialized is actual bullshit and your arrogance tells you that Scarborough residents are too ignorant to not see that.
I'm sure once this election is over, I will hear downtown progressives bitch and moan about Scarborough being Conservative, but maybe for once, spare Twitter your privileged performative takes and actually reflect.

Dear LGB✂️T folks. PARTICULARLY WHITE & WHITE ADJACENT ONES.

You're real fucking tools.

Almost all of what you claim in this community was built by 2STQ+ Black & Indigenous folks. The rights, the culture, the few fucking privileges we have, the parade that you've corporatized..
...the neighbourhoods you gentrify, the grassroots community services you complain about, the brick and mortar spaces you use, the fucking land you occupy! and pay your cops to oppress the rest of us.
We didn't even feel comfortable being in your toxic LGB communities because, no surprises, you're racist as fuck, so many of us had to define as queer or made safer alternative communities so we don't have to be grouped with the likes of you.

Non-profit edition. Stop asking me to do presentations/workshops etc. For a nominal fee. A 30 minute workshop is hours of work of research, dissemination and putting it together.

If you want me to do a workshop, you can pay me my going rate.
Stop using interns, youth fellowships, volunteers for jobs that need a salary. A GOOD salary.

That is super shady.
Stop hiring for "equity deserving groups" with the shittiest wages possible.

All you're saying is that you want Black, Indigenous and racialized people to pay poorly.
