1) On April 22, 2024, Trustee Paul Coffey made a public presentation to the Board of Mountain View School Division.

It was full of falsehoods, assumptions & demonstrable ignorance.

As a former ELA & social studies teacher, I feel the need to grade the presentation…🪡🧵 Image 2) Mr. Coffey’s presentation starts by mentioning colonization by Europe, Spain & Portugal w/
no mention of England.

This is profoundly peculiar given the history of Canada.

He then proceeds to display ignorance at the meaning of the BIPOC acronym. Image

1) It's w/ sadness & chagrin I post this. As they say, silence is violence. Silence suggestions support or agreement and I cannot sit idly by. Kenora, ON is my hometown. I love it even when I'm not there. It's full of good, kind and caring people.☑️🗳️
#Kenora #MunicipalElections Image 2) I knew Bob Bernie tangentially years ago through mutual friends. I don't know what's happened to him. I hope he is okay. He seems to have scrubbed his social media now that he is running for Kenora Council in the upcoming Ontario Municipal Elections.🗳️
