Fair Vote Canada 🗳️🍁 @fairvote.ca · 03/10/2026
We analyzed some of Ford’s most controversial Toronto decisions and found they all target safe opposition ridings. Under first-past-the-post, unneeded ridings get sacrificed. Proportional representation ensures votes everywhere build seats, so no community can be steamrolled.
Infographic showing Doug Ford's targeted decisions affecting Downtown Toronto. A map marks bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University, Billy Bishop Airport, and Ontario Place in opposition held ridings. Icons repeat these targets, stating safe opposition seats do not help Ford's majority, so they are sacrificed for suburban swing ridings.

STATEMENT
Prince Albert
GRAND CHIEF JOEY PETE AND CHIEF DESMOND BULL TO MEET WITH HIS MAJESTY, KING
CHARLES III
As Treaty No. 6 approaches its 150th anniversary, a delegation will travel to London to affirm Treaty relationship with the Crown
-
March 6, 2026 (Treaty No. 6 Territory) On Wednesday, March 11, Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations Grand Chief Joey Pete and Louis Bull Tribe Chief Desmond Bull will be part of a seven-member Treaty No. 6 delegation meeting with His Majesty, King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. This visit will affirm the Treaty relationship with the Crown and assert Treaties 1-11 are sacred agreements intended to last as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow. A formal invitation will also be extended to His Majesty to attend the 150th Anniversary of Treaty No. 6 Celebrations. His attendance at this event will be a powerful demonstration of the Crown's commitment to the Treaty relationship.
The audience with His Majesty is an opportunity to discuss the Crown's obligation to protect and uphold Treaty against separatist threats and to remind the King that our relationship is not with provinces or Canada - it is with the Crown. Treaties are recognized in international law and any attempt to override them is a violation of the original agreements made between First Nations and the Crown.
"We can accomplish great things with the same truth in our hearts, minds and the words we speak. This is an important moment for Treaty First Nations, and only with unity of purpose can we lead the way in protecting and exercising our Treaty and Inherent Rights." - Grand Chief Joey Pete, Confederacy of Treaty No. 6 First Nations
The delegates of our sovereign Nations look forward to this opportunity to speak with His Highness, strengthen our relationship with the Crown and address mutual matters of honour and protection of our Treaties.
