Some of the coolest Toronto city election swag is being produced by candidate Jenny Worden, community activist city council candidate in Beaches East York ward. Who in this town isn't familiar with these furry neighbours?

It's long past time for Canadian institutions, particularly PUBLIC institutions to ditch Google Maps forever. Google was first among the techno fascist corporations to buy Trump's "Lake America" bullshit. Public institutions should use (and fund) the crowd sourced "Open Street Map" project.

With a provincial by-election in Scarborough Southwest and a federal by-election in Beaches-East York, the NDP is the party of No Jets at Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto.

NDP leader Avi Lewis kicking off the by-election campaign in Beaches-East York for candidate Shannon Devine. It was a packed standing room only crowd in a hot humid church basement auditorium. The Carney/Ford/JP Morgan coalition to pave the Toronto waterfront has a fight on its hands.

Whenever Doug Ford has the courage to call the by-election in Scarborough Southwest, Fatima Shaban of the ONDP is the real fighter for the working class.

Ontario Liberals in SSW are a rather sad bunch these days. OTOH, the Ontario NDP is in a rather good mood, having staged a mass canvass of the riding to celebrate the birthday of candidate Fatima Shaban, talking to voters about issues that actually matter.

Question

After Doug Ford installs a two kilometer long runway at Billy Bishop Airport, will Carney privatize it?

On April 13th in Scarborough Southwest there is an alternative to corporate Carney and his new bigot buddy Marilyn Gladu. Join the campaign to stand up for working class folks by supporting NDP candidate Fatima Shaban.

On April 13th voters in Scarborough Southwest don't have to put up with more of Carney's cuts, they can elect a young working class community/tenant fighter in Fatima Shaban of the NDP who will fight for those struggling with the everyday crisis of just getting by in a rigged economy.

Fatcat ex-CEO's like Mark Carney think folks should bow and scrape and give them whatever they want. Not in Scarborough Southwest, where voters have a chance to elect working class tenant/community fighter Fatima Shaban of the NDP on April 13th

In the April 13th federal by-election in Scarborough Southwest, you don't have to vote for the candidate of corrupt Doug Ford's best friend Mark Carney. You can join with Fatima Shaban & Avi Lewis in carrying on the struggle of ordinary folks to just get by in a rigged economy.

There were actually more cops protecting the fascists than fascists. The counter-protesters outnumbered the fascists at least 20:1 if not more.
