How can this happen in Canada?…..
To be honest though, this is not a surprise. Vancouver's mayoral election, same thing there.
And of course, Canada's election.
And both Chow and Trudeau claim to know nothing about it!![]()
But hey, I feel comfortable about Kamloops mayor.
We had better get used to this, Chinese communist interference in elections at all levels.

And it will continue and possibly stop after the next election, unless someone fiddles with numbers and voting requirements.
Oh, the word "fiddles" reminds me of a Roman ruler.

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
Oh yes, Nero purportedly fiddled while Rome burned, cleaning out the shanties and tenements that the commoners inhabited. According to sources that cannot claim to be unbiased, he “wanted” those acres for rebuilding a better, more updated and modern city. Was that goal achieved? Yes, in hindsight. He had good intentions.
But does our current federal govt have good intentions as they run rampant through our society where everyone, at the end of the day, is highly ticked off?

Our next emperors will consist of Chinese bureaucratsWhen the Roman senator Vindex rebelled, with support from the eventual Roman emperor Galba, Nero was declared a public enemy and condemned to death in absentia. He fled Rome, and on 9 June AD 68 he committed suicide. His death sparked a brief period of civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
Toronto wants a bailout from the provincial and federal governments claiming they are broke. So why do they have more than $8 million to pay for renaming Dundas Street?

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
To be somewhat fair, the momentum on this renaming Dundas St thing started long before Olivia being mayor. But with costs understood now and as mayor, she has supported the idea.Gone_Fishin wrote: ↑Aug 20th, 2023, 1:05 pm Toronto wants a bailout from the provincial and federal governments claiming they are broke.

It's just not worth the effort... So many properties having a new address, all the government (and corporate) records that need to change; all the personal records to be changed.
All because of political correctness and Lord Dundas having fallen out of favour.

These expensive paint jobs by incompetent leftist politicians tend to distract from the fact that they are incapable of tackling issues that will actually help people: affordability, crime, addiction, housing, etc.

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
Mississauga gave Toronto the proverbial middle finger when they voted against changing the name, Whatever name Toronto chooses it will only go as far as the Mississauga border.
https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/01/20/ ... as-street/While Toronto is moving forward with renaming Dundas Street, the change will only go as far as the Mississauga border. On Wednesday, Mississauga’s city council voted unanimously in favour of a motion to give no further consideration to renaming the thoroughfare.

Thanks for posting that. I forgot how far southwest of the city of Toronto the name Dundas St was consistent and contiguous.oneh2obabe wrote: ↑Aug 21st, 2023, 2:47 pm Mississauga gave Toronto the proverbial middle finger when they voted against changing the name, Whatever name Toronto chooses it will only go as far as the Mississauga border.https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/01/20/ ... as-street/While Toronto is moving forward with renaming Dundas Street, the change will only go as far as the Mississauga border.

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
Well, that NDP mayor screwed that one up completely.
Toronto used word from slave-trading African tribe to replace Dundas
Toronto city council voted unanimously on Thursday to change the name of Toronto’s world famous Yonge-Dundas Square to “Sankofa Square” to distance it from Henry Dundas’ purported connection to the transatlantic slave trade.
The word used by the City of Toronto, True North has learned, originated from a tribe known for its role in the slave trade.
While Dundas was, in fact, an abolitionist, the Akan people of Ghana, from whom the word “sankofa” comes, were active participants in the slave trade and imported slaves to develop their own economy.
snip
The Akan people imported slaves to help clear their forests, where they searched for gold, and also sold slaves to Europeans, fuelling the transatlantic slave trade.
In 2006, Ghana apologized to descendants of slaves for its role in the slave trade.
snip
Historians, even those on the political left, tend to agree that Dundas was a supporter of the abolition of slavery. Controversy around him stems from an amendment he proposed to an abolition motion from William Wilberforce to make it more “gradual,” but he said in doing so it was because he thought that was the most effective way to end slavery. Given it took more than 50 years from that point for the transatlantic slave trade to end, he was likely right.
Dundas also called on African leaders to stop their complicity in the slave trade, which they didn’t do at the time.

Re: Olivia Chow elected as Toronto’s mayor
I guess the question to be asked is, why does the NDP mayor Chow hate black people?
Why would she name a street after a tribe of slave traders?
Is she still peed off about the Republican, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation?
We know the NDP hates Jews, but it appears they hate blacks, too.
Chow would doubly despise Sammy Davis Jr!
