A
D
You,
madam
chair,
and
merit
Orion
colleagues.
We
have
a
delegation
sitting
in
the
middle
there
from
the
province
of
Guangdong
southern
part
of
China.
They
are
all
officials,
different
levels
of
government
they're
here
to
learn
how
our
government
functions
and
they're
the
guests
of
cross-cultural
professional
association
of
Canada
and
that's
an
counts
for
Chile's
for
now
and
then
hopefully,
I'll
inherit
it
later
on.
So
there
they
go,
and
we
thank
you
for
coming.
Jesse.
F
Afternoon,
madam
Speaker
councillors,
members
of
the
public
and
delegates
wrenchini
Hidalgo
Shing,
my
name
is
John
Kelly,
ger
and
I
live
work
and
play
in
Ward,
28
I'm
hopeful
that,
after
lunch,
many
of
you,
your
minds,
have
not
been
made
up
and
that
you're
open
to
a
dark
horse
candidate
and
going
second
last
I
hope
that
qualifies
me
at
this
time.
I
believe
our
Ward
needs
a
counselor
with
a
diverse
background
and
a
community
presence
who
will
be
a
counselor
for
all
of
Ward
28.
F
F
James
town,
we
moved
to
Caroline
co-op,
where
I
served
as
vice
president
and
then
president
of
a
board
of
directors
that
wrote
and
passed
two
new
governing
documents,
an
organizational
bylaw
and
an
occupancy
bylaw,
a
board
that
worked
with
Tom,
Clement
and
CH
ft,
as
well
as
MP
Adam
Vaughn
on
ensuring
that
housing
subsidies
are
available
to
those
who
need
it
most
among
coops,
whose
operating
agreements
with
the
city
had
ended.
I
work
as
a
professor
in
the
center
for
business
at
George,
Brown
College.
F
Now
many
don't
know,
but
located
in
Ward
28
are
two
of
George
Browns,
three
main
campuses.
Also
our
student
residences
in
Corktown.
Our
fashion
exchange,
is
in
Regent
Park
and
our
Center
for
Performing
Arts
in
the
Distillery
I
work
out
of
our
st.
James
campus
in
st.
Lawrence
Market,
where
one
of
the
largest
postgraduate
programs
in
the
country
I
have
years
of
experience
in
project
management.
Standing
committee
work
responding
to
questions
from
the
public
and
working
with
a
range
of
community
and
industry
stakeholders.
F
While
there
remains
more
good
work
to
do
throughout
Ward,
28
I
have
come
to
see
it
become
a
better
place
to
play,
thanks
in
great
part
to
the
hard
work
of
councillor
McConnell
of
state
of
dedicated
community
groups
and
Toronto
Police
Service
living
in
st.
James
town.
My
wife
and
I
would
often
walk
our
dog
through
and
around
its
enormous
high-rises.
F
We
walked
through
the
beautiful
streets
of
cabbage
town
down
to
Riverdale
farm,
where
so
many
families
gather
and
through
Regent
Park,
which
has
been
more
than
revitalized
but
transformed
into
a
treasured
home
for
new
immigrants.
Like
many
of
war,
28s
neighborhoods,
we
got
to
know
the
streets,
the
businesses,
the
community,
centers,
the
festivals,
the
parks
and
the
people
now
living
in
Caroline
co-op.
We
walk
every
day
through
gudar
hemming,
Ward's
distillery
through
cork
town,
through
st.
Lawrence
Market
and
on
weekends.
F
F
Today
in
your
packages,
you
received
a
letter
of
endorsement
from
the
executive
director
of
the
pinball
Clemons
foundation,
an
organization
well
known
throughout
our
great
city
for
its
initiatives,
especially
in
high
priority
neighborhoods
I
am
proud
to
have
earned
this
endorsement
if
appointed
as
counselor
I
pledge
to
not
run
in
the
2018
election.
I
have
no
political
party
affiliation.
I
will
not
be
politically
active
other
than
as
a
representative
for
the
constituents
of
war.
28
I
am
well
positioned.
F
B
You,
madam
Speaker
members
of
council
and
my
other
nominees
for
giving
me
this
time
to
speak.
My
name
is
Robert.
Thompson
I
am
hoping
to
continue
the
late
councilors
good
duty
in
Ward,
28
I
moved
to
Toronto
in
1973.
I
lived
in
the
topical
I
went
to
school
in
Etobicoke
I
then
moved
on
to
Ryerson.
You
well
politic,
Polytechnical
University
area
in
Institute.
B
B
Ballot
I
had
to
fill
fellows
135
Sherbourne
Street
for
anybody
who
does
not
know
that
address.
It
is
Maxwell
Megan
house
center
of
the
Salvation
Army
I
have
been
a
resident
of
there
since
May
of
this
year
and
until
September
I
did
not
receive
any
counseling
help
from
that
Center
I
did
not
receive
a
housing
worker,
and
this
morning,
while
I
was
getting
dressed
preparing
for
this
meeting
I
was
told
that
I
am
being
discharged
out
of
my
bed
into
the
general
population.
B
G
B
Thank
you
for
the
question.
I
personally
feel
that
there
is
enough
money
in
in
the
system.
It
is
how
it
is.
L
managed
and
properly
allocated
I
have
launched
a
number
of
complaints
with
shelter,
support
and
housing
administration,
and,
to
this
day,
I
have
not
received
a
response
for
them.
I
have
met
with
the
manager
of
streets
to
home
sue
good
fellow.
She
is
also
the
assistant
general
manager
of
s
sha
I,
presented
with
her
well
I
was
a
resident
at
129,
Peter
Street,
which
is
the
street.
B
So
home
assessment
and
referral
center
I
had
a
proposal
how
to
save
that
one
facility,
six
figures
on
their
on
the
the
dietary
allotment
that
I
could
see
how
they
could
figure
is
save
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
All
I
wanted
from
Miss
Goodfellow
was
the
financial
numbers
so
that
I
could
state
fact
I,
don't
want
to
go
with
assumption,
I
assume
that
I
could
say
the
the
s
sha
and
the
City
of
Toronto
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
that
is
just
a
number
and
my
figure
in
my
head.
B
B
The
end
of
June,
that
was
in
May
28
17,
the
end
of
June
I
sent
her
off
an
email
saying,
sue
I
still
have
not
received
those
financials
and
numbers
and
I
would
still
like
to
present
my
my
proposal
to
the
necessary
Department
could
I
could
I
have
those
numbers
please
to
this
date?
I
still
haven't
received
those
numbers
or
a
response
to
that
email
so
to
address
your
question,
I
see
that
we're
spending
money,
we're
spending
money
or
spending
money,
but
we're
not
getting
results.
B
B
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
and
natori,
and
expected
memory
consoles.
First
of
all,
I
apologize
for
the
ten
minutes
delay
because
I
have
to
go
drop,
my
son
off
to
the
school
trip
so
and
then,
when
he
came
in
it
was
just
parking
so
I
just
miss
it
by
10-15
minutes,
apologize
that
and
I'm
humbled
for
this
opportunity
that
you
provided
for
me
to
come
here
and
address
and
share
my
views
in
helping
the
process
of
electing
interim
member
counsel
for
the
wall.
J
21
I
must
say
that
Pam
councillor
Pam
I
kind
of
left
a
big
shoe
to
fill
in
it's
hard.
It's
a
big
work
that
she
did
and
she
did
the
job
really
good.
What
renu-it
can
be
described
as
kind
of
mix
off
low
and
high-income
and
it's
the
kind
of
rainbow
so
their
challenges
and
their
challenges
like
they're.
Only
in
2011
census
say
it's.
Four
percent
people
live
in
houses
and
remaining
here
in
the
apartment.
Building,
affordability
is
an
issue.
I
will
discuss
three
issues
that
will
be
my
priority.
J
First
of
all,
I
want
to
discuss
this
affordability
of
housing
that
we
have
been
trying
to
say.
The
government
has
been
trying
it's
not
that
McConnell
has
not
been
doing
it.
She
has
been
working
on
80
unit
rental
units
so
that
you
know
she
can
provide
more
affordability
in
the
city
that
is
still
in
process,
and
my
prime
focus
will
be
what
pay,
because
I
have
maybe
I'm
hoping
that
you
people
have
gone
through
my
profile
and
maybe
have
a
cursory.
J
So
if
I
miss
it,
I
have
a
legal
background
and
I
am
working
since
92,
not
much
here
in
Canada,
but
I
work
at
bench
and
bar
and
a
common
law
jurisdiction.
And
then,
since
I
arrived
in
Canada
the
first
year,
I
started
doing
volunteer
work
with
this
school
and
I
continued
it
till
today.
So
right
now,
I'm
Czech
coach
here
parent
council
in
the
middle
of
school,
in
my
in
my
ward,
not
in
that
because
I'm
not
that
what
28.
So
it's
34.
My
prime
focus
was
always
to
work
with
youth
and
children.
J
To
me,
working
as
a
legal
consultant
and
working
with
the
people
who
are
incarcerated,
I
felt
a
big
bulk,
a
good
deal
of
Children
Youth,
the
telecon
juveniles
that
we
are
not
looking
into.
We
need
to
invest
in
it.
My
prime
focus
will
be
juvenile
and
the
deliquent
juveniles.
We
have
the
youths
that
are
unemployment.
We
have
the
youths
there
in
detentions,
they
are
not.
They
are
not
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
do.
J
My
another
area
that
I
want
to
focus
because
I've
been
working
as
a
human
aid
officer
is
well
in
the
community
in
the
rural
areas,
so
bring
back.
The
community
I
think
this
war,
28
has
I
believe
2011
census.
It
has
2%
less
than
2%
in
Arabic.
Is
speaking
people
and
54%
English
speaking
people
and
20
person,
I
on
that
where
other
language
is
spoken
so
I
come
in
that
other
20%
language
is
spoken.
That
is
Hindi
and
will
do.
J
I
met
might
be
the
appropriate
person
for
the
job,
because
there
are
so
many
people,
I've
been
listening
to
them
and
they're
so
good
in
so
many
instances,
I
am
no
good
more
than
anyone,
but
I
might
be
the
appropriate
candidate.
So
when
you
think
about
this
voting
thing,
do
not
think
about
me
as
a
person
seeking
election
of
the
nomination.
Think
about
me
as
a
vision
to
make
the
city
streets
walkable
for
the
cyclists
for
the
pedestrian
make
it
safer.
J
J
Every
day
I
wanted
to
each
and
every
opportunity
I'll
get
to
help
them
succeed,
I
work
in
the
community
safety
areas,
they
work
in
the
crime
and
juvenile
section,
so
that
is
my
primary
focus
and
also
when
I
was
working
with
the
ministry
I
work
with
the
budget
offices.
So
this
is
a
part
of
my
work
area
that
I
want
to
bring
it
back
here.
J
J
K
My
name
is
Ronald
Olivier
I
grew
up
in
Toronto
and
I
lived
in
different
areas.
I
went
to
Brockton
High
School,
my
sister
Francis
went
to
Oakwood
Collegiate.
My
brother
Clarence
went
to
Dallas
El,
where
they
used
to
have
a
nice
marching
band
and
a
good
hockey
team
I
we
talked
about
housing
and
the
Commissioner
of
housing
is
toothless
because
she
can't
do
anything.
Her
mandate
is
limited.
She
can't
discipline
separate
or
release
employees
when
you
had
the
old
person
Jones,
that
was
the
Commissioner
of
housing.
K
He
dismissed
people,
he
brought
his
own
people
in
and
he
ruffled
feathers,
because
the
people
that
that
were
sitting
on
council
or
where
they
were
given
a
given
the
job
he
brought
people
in
just
from
the
outside
people,
talked
about
housing.
Well,
those
people
in
housing.
They
are
entitled
to
get
job
support,
job
help.
Those
people
from
the
outside
are
not
supposed
to
get
any
help
at
all.
We
talk
about
housing
where
housing,
the
refugees
that
come
in,
that
we
bring
in
and
the
housing
that
we
have.
K
We
have
subsidized
housing
where
people
pay
what
they
can
afford
to
pay
and
go
and
spend
$800,000
on
a
home
or
they
sub
rent,
the
home
and
they've
already
bought
something
and
they're
living
in
it
and
your
housing
them.
So
a
lot
of
these,
the
last
gentleman
that
spoke
a
lot
of
these
people
that
that
you're,
paying
into
hotel
rooms
and
booking
you're,
going
to
have
people
that
just
the
housing
is
going
to
eliminate
and
trash
and
put
on
the
curb
and
those
people
are
not
going
to
have
a
place
to
go.
K
And
last
but
not
least,
the
city
needs
a
marching
band.
The
city
needs
a
marching
band
as
an
ambassador.
The
last
group
that
you
had
here
French
from
China
they
have
a
marching
band
and
in
the
city
of
Japan
they
have
a
marching
band.
You
see
them
in
a
lot
of
the
parades
and
that's
what
we
have
to
have
and
we
have
to
have.
K
K
A
M
M
H
N
B
G
L
I'm
not
gonna,
do
I'm,
not
gonna
move
any
motions.
I
I'm
gonna
speak
about
the
process
because
I
I
for
one
and
I
think
most
people
have
anticipated
that
for
me,
but
I
I
think
I
need
to
elaborate,
not
for
my
colleagues
but
for
the
people
that
are
at
home
and,
more
importantly,
if
I
would
say
the
29
people
who
have
been
totally
disregarded
by
this
chamber
and
I'll,
explain
to
you
as
to
why
this
process
was
supposed
to
be
democratic.
L
It's
supposed
to
bring
people
forward
that
thought
that
they
could
get
an
opportunity
to
put
me
appointed
into
into
the
ward
were
in
20
or
28.
What
I
have
found
over
the
last
few
days
in
particular
and
I?
Do
this
by
the
way,
with
all
due
respect
to
to
the
McConnell
family
and
I
need
to
say
first
and
foremost
that
I
got
along
well
with
with
Pam
like
any
like
everyone
else
did
and
I
enjoyed
my
time
with
her
in
Council
and
listened
to
her
regularly.
L
What
what
I
found
is
that
for
the
first
time
in
a
long
time,
I
was
getting
calls
not
only
from
counselors
but
from
people
outside
of
the
chamber.
Regular
folks
saying
what
are
you
doing
with
the
vote?
Who
are
you
voting
for
and
there
were?
There
are
really
two
names
that
were
popping
up
in
this
equation
just
too
right,
but
there
were
31
on
the
list,
and
this
was
happening
a
few
days
ago
wasn't
happening
today
right
and
so
here
we
have
29
people
who
woke
up
this
morning.
L
In
fact,
some
of
you
have
come
up
to
me
and
said
Georgia
right,
you're
right
about
your
particular
observations
and
you
know
who
you
are
right
and
then
you've
got
other
people
that
are
across
the
city,
saying
it's
in
our
best
interest
to
appoint
this
person.
Well,
you
know
what
the
reality
of
the
situation
is.
L
It
is
in
the
best
interest
of
Torontonians
to
have
gone
out
to
a
by-election
and
let
the
community
decide
on
who
to
vote
for
not
this
chamber,
because
the
minute
you
get
your
hands
on
this,
it
becomes
political,
and
this
has
been
proven.
That's
exactly
what's
happened
here
today.
So
what
are
we
doing?
We're
keeping
an
agenda
going?
I'm!
L
Sorry
to
those
of
you
that
are
on
the
left,
the
end
I'm
about
to
criticize
it's
you,
the
brought
this
forward,
you're
the
ones
that
want
a
particular
appointment,
and
you
are
the
ones
saying
it's
the
family,
that
wants
it
the
same
people
that
kick
the
hell
out
of
the
Fords
a
few
weeks
ago
when
they
wanted
a
football
field
that
family
wanted.
One
at
a
football
field
named
after
our
former
mayor,
the
same
people
that
are
saying
the
the
mikono
family
wants
this
and
we
have
to
do.
L
It
were
the
same
people
that
that
kicked
the
hell
out
of
the
Ford
family.
How
dare
you
talk
about
hypocrisy
and
the
poor
people
and
I
apologize
to
all
of
you
for
having
to
get
dressed,
come
down
here
and
to
do
what
not
to
be
heard
by
by
a
group
of
people
that
made
their
decisions
and
want
this
appointment
based
on
political
standing,
not
about
the
person
not
about
the
talents
of
the
person?
L
We've
heard
a
lot
of
people
we've
had
lawyers
and
teachers
and
and
and
professionals,
come
to
us
with
all
kinds
of
ideas,
and
they
didn't
even
know
they
weren't
even
being
heard.
What
a
pretend
job
that
this
place
does
to
people
and
to
see
the
amount
of
lobbying
on
this
was
incredible,
left
and
right
more
from
the
left,
but
from
the
right
as
well,
and
we
all
know
where
that
came
from
from
the
right
as
well
and
so
I'm
I'm
I'm
not
happy
with
respect
to
what
this
particular
I
have.
L
O
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
amount
of
speaker.
First,
just
a
note
to
all
the
applicants
that
have
come
forward.
I
found
the
speeches
very
enlightening
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
became
clear
to
me
is
that
especially
of
the
residents
of
Ward
28,
who
came
forward,
but
there's
a
lot
of
talent,
a
lot
of
expertise
and
perhaps,
most
importantly,
a
lot
of
love
and
passion
for
their
of
their
community
in
their
city
and
I
compliment
them
for
that.
O
Secondly,
my
comments
will
be
in
the
context
of
this
new
role
that
that
the
mayor
has
appointed
me
to
as
the
poverty
reduction
advocate.
It's
a
role
that
I
prize
very
dearly
and
I
think
we
prize
dearly
as
a
city
council
as
well.
We
know
that
we
live
in
a
city
where
equal
opportunity
is
not
present
to
everyone.
O
O
If
you
look
at
the
what
I
submitted
was
a
list
of
the
endorsements
that
he
had,
he
had
that
he
has,
and
it
includes
the
major
players
across
the
board
in
the
ward
in
the
food
security
movement
in
the
co-op
housing
movement,
Humber,
College,
waterfront
area,
CAMH,
physicians,
people
in
the
shelter
system,
people
in
more
people
in
the
housing
movement
lifts
the
dream
team.
These
are
all
good
organizations
that
hold
Ward
28
together
and
help
us
hold
the
city
together.
O
Who
are
they
endorsing
their
endorse,
they're
endorsing
Michael
Creek
and
then,
when
you
look
at
the
neighborhood
people,
that
also
is
a
strong
cross-section
from
the
north
end
of
the
ward
to
the
south
end
of
the
ward
Toronto
Island
residents,
st.
Lawrence,
neighborhood
residents,
region,
Park
residents,
South
Cabbagetown.
The
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on
that
says
to
us
that
you
know
what
the
right
democratic
thing
to
do
is
to
follow
like.
O
Where
is
this
community
feeling
that
its
next
leadership
for
this
interim
period
of
time
should
come
from
there
telling
us
that
it's
Michael,
Creek
I'm,
suggesting
that
we
follow
those
endorsements?
I,
hope
that
we
can
rally
behind
this
candidate
and
make
us
proud,
like
I,
think
we'll
be
proud
to
be
able
to
say
two
other
orders
of
government,
as
we
press
our
case
for
poverty
reduction
strategy
at
the
province
at
the
federal
government?
O
A
O
C
Thank
you
much
ma'am,
chair,
well,
listening
to
all
the
people
that
applied
for
this
position,
I'm
quite
impressed
by
many
of
them.
They
are
well-spoken,
articulate
her
knowledge
of
the
what
so
it's
a
rather
difficult
decision
that
I
have
to
make
here,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
encourage
anybody.
That's
not
successful
in
appointment,
consider
running
for
election
in
2018
because
you
have
law.
You
have
a
lot
to
contribute,
and
please
do
that.
Consider
that
although
one
person
I
spoke
to
sees
I
know
other
people
running
I'm,
not
as
good
as
them.
C
Please
don't
have
that
attitude.
Consider
yourself,
as
the
possible
person
to
represent
not
run
this
war
but
other
Wars.
As
for
the
work
that
you're
from
you
know,
I
saw
a
person
from
1/9
a
person
from
what
30
consider
that.
So
it
is
a
good
profession
and
you
are
representing
people
here,
and
it
is
rather
important
that
we
have
counsel
that
that
represents
and
reflects
the
community
that
we
represent.
C
But
one
of
these
I
do
advise
you
to
do
is
to
get
the
support
of
your
family
before
you
run,
because
this
total
lifestyle
change
I
mean
councillor.
Gim
heart
is
just
smiling
there,
because
when
he
got
a
point
that
he
didn't
expect
to
be
just
busy
okay,
so
it
is
a
very
busy
lifestyle
and
you
have
to
get
commitment
from
your
family
to
do
it,
and
not
only
that
you
have
to
be
committed
to
your
community.
It.
C
C
Okay,
so
those
test
advice,
I,
give
you
as
a
counselor,
so
it
is
a
tough
position
and
I
think
I
believe
about
for
persons.
That
looks
pretty
good,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
tough
decision,
so
thank
you
all
for
coming
down
to
want
to
represent
what
twenty-eight
and
I
would
advise
you
that
there
will
be
future
opportunities
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
I
Well,
we'll
see
about
that
I,
don't
know
if
it's
that
much
harder.
Madam,
madam
Speaker,
I,
I,
really
I'm,
now
gonna
very
briefly
echo
what
councillor
Lee
said,
because
he
took
the
words
right
out
of
my
mouth
I.
We
were
sort
of
comparing
notes
a
bit
throughout
the
process.
I'm
down
to
about
well
was
for
maybe
three
now
candidates
who
I
found
exceptionally
articulate
and
knowledgeable
and
empathetic,
and
with
a
sincere
knowledge
of
both
the
local
with
the
community,
I
felt,
but
also
brought
some
lived
experience
and
some
professional
experience
to
bear
for
this
role.
I
I
just
want
to
encourage
all
of
you
to
keep
going
in
the
direction
that
you
want
to
go
on.
You
know
whether
it
be
in
elected
office
or
whether
it
be
through
any
other
man.
You
know,
through
arts,
through
industry
through
trades,
through
whatever
volunteerism
in
any
in
any
way
in
life.
Please
continue
contributing
to
our
city,
because
I
heard
so
many
remarkable
people
today
and
I
must
say
and
I
I
don't
mean
to
you
know
what
I
mean
I
just
heard,
so
many
people
today
nervous
probably
prepared
a
lot
with
their
speeches.
I
They
probably
rehearsed
it,
they
probably
got
they
put
a
lot
of
energy
and
time
into
this
and
I.
Don't
always
feel
that
during
this
process,
we
perhaps
provide
as
much
attention
as
as
that
kind
of
effort
merits,
because
I
just
heard
some
incredible
people
today
and
I
it
rien
spyer's
me.
It
actually
reminds
me
of
kind
of
the
first
moment
that
I
decided
to
run
for
this
office
and
I
was
very
excited
to
hear
many
of
you
today
and
thank
you.
P
We
find
scale
down
even
if
5%
of
the
population
comes
and
what
for
this
election,
they
determine
who
they
are
representative
s
and
for
six
months,
if
it's
six
months,
that
clerk
could
run
the
office
until
because
this
process
makes
it
seem
like
we
are
hiring
somebody
from
a
from
a
very
neutral
panel,
which
is
not
the
case.
We
are
political.
P
We
are
elected
to
be
political,
so
I
would
disagree
that
we
would
have
to
take
our
political
hat
to
do
this
work
because
we
are
in
fact
elected
to
use
political
activism
to
do
the
work
and
that's
why
councillors
are
exercising
their
right
to
advance
communities,
social
good
through
the
process
of
talking
to
each
other,
getting
support
and
that's
the
process.
We
are
expected
to
follow
by
people
who
elected
us,
so
it
is.
P
It
is
naive
to
believe
that
councilors
will
be
here,
making
a
judgment
on
this
purely
removing
everything
that
we
have
from
our
elected
experience,
our
political
background
and
our
thought
about
ideologies
as
to
how
do
we
want
to
run
this
city?
So
I
think
that
is
where
my
my
issue
with
this
process
is,
but
we
are
here.
We
have
got
this
process
here.
We
are
here
and
I
I
accept
that
I
want
to
say
that
this
is
not
a
caretaking
role.
P
Contrary
to
some
of
the
speakers,
I
think
the
person
elected
is
going
to
be
making
political
decision
at
every
single
word,
and
that
is
important
for
people
to
recognize.
Caretaking
role
could
be
done
outside
the
thing,
but
it
is
very
important
that
person
has
a
what
in
this
in
this
place,
to
make
that
political
decision,
so
it
is,
it
is
absolutely
false
to
believe
it's
the
caretaking
role.
P
So
I'm
glad
that
Kevin,
who
said
came
from
a
refugee
family
background
here
and
talked
about
Youth
Advocacy
Sarah,
who
talked
about
mixed
identities
and
how
that
would
benefit
the
suzanne
gap.
Cobb
mentioned
about
trans
identity
and
the
importance
of
us
leading
not
just
talking
about
things
and
and-
and
I
think
the
other
person
I
wanted
to
mention-
is
Fenton
who
actually
brought
a
very
different
perspective
from
from
a
business
angle
from
a
racialized
community.
P
Sometimes
we
don't
see
in
some
some
areas,
so
it
is
very
important
for
us
to
use
this
process
to
enlighten
ourselves.
But
I
want
to
finish
by
saying
I,
throw
my
support
behind
Michael
Creek
I
was
initially
looking
for
a
racialized
candidate
to
support
because
of
the
racial
diversity
of
the
world
and
making
sure
that
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
do
that.
But
when
I
looked
at
his
bio
and
when
he
looked
at
everything
he
has
done
and
in
fact
I
used
to
work
with
him
at
color
of
poverty.
P
Twenty
five
and
five
network
on
poverty
related
issue
lived
experience
is
one
of
the
most
important
thing
that
we
need
here.
I
actually
came
as
a
refugee
to
this
country
and
had
to
sell
chocolates
to
get
bus
tickets
to
go
to
school,
and
so
it
is
very,
very
important
for
us
to
have
lived
experience
that
can
guide
poverty
reduction
work,
not
just
what
we
heard,
but
people
have
gone
through
it.
So
I
throw
my
support
behind
him
he's
fully
qualified.
P
So
I
think
it'll,
it'll,
it'll
double
if
Michael
Creek
is
it
will
increase
by
100
percent
and
which
is
very
important
for
people
like
me
to
be
able
to
have
that
that
voice
here
to
be
learning
from
and
sharing
ideas
with
so
I
want
to
say,
I
am
very
happy
to
throw
my
support
behind
Michael,
Creek
and
I
want
to
finish
off.
In
my
last
couple
of
minute
and
a
half,
we
were
talking
about
replacing
councilor
Pam
McConnell.
This
is
not
about
replacing
her
she's
a
replaceable.
P
In
fact,
it's
selecting
the
next
council
of
for
this
ward,
not
necessarily
a
place
thing,
I,
think
the
framing
of
that
needs
to
change,
because
she's
got
a
position
in
our
city
that
cannot
be
replaced
and
I
look
up
to
her
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
continue
her
work
in
many
ways,
not
only
through
the
council
was
appointed,
but
through
all
of
our
councillors,
who
are
present
here.
Thank
you.
N
Chair
and
I
too,
would
like
to
convey
my
gratitude
and
thanks
to
the
candidates
who
have
so
courageously
and
selflessly
put
their
names
forward
for
consideration.
It
is
certainly
not
an
easy
task
and
I
think
that
every
single
one
of
them
deserves
our
utmost
respect
for
actually
being
able
to
put
their
their
names
forward.
N
I
want
to
single
out
a
couple
of
exceptional
exceptional
people
who
also
happen
to
be
friends,
but
there
that,
but
it's
not
because
of
our
friendship
that
I'm
singling
them
out,
but
rather
because
of
my
my
utmost
respect
for
what
they
have
done
for
our
cities.
For
our
city,
the
first
one
is
Susan
Kefka
who
really
needs
no
introduction.
Susan
has
been
a
political
fixture
in
all
our
standing
committees
and
often
times
keeping
our
feet
to
the
fire,
holding
us
to
a
place
of
political
honesty
and
decision-making
with
integrity.
N
28
are
more
than
cousins.
Councillor,
Paulo
and
I
keep
calling
ourselves
Ward
cousins
because
we
have
a
northern
boundary
and
there's
a
lot.
That's
happening
between
22
and
27,
but
the
volume
of
activity
that
happens
between
20
728
is
unmatched
with
any
of
my
and
with
any
edge
of
my
ward,
and
we
actually
not
only
do
we
share
a
single
word
boundary,
but
we
actually
share
very
common
constituents
and
those
constituents
in
communities
and
neighborhoods
don't
see
AB
line
at
all.
They
are
not.
N
They
are
not
blurry,
they
just
simply
don't
exist,
so
the
Downtown
East,
which
I
had
the
honour
of
serving
with
Councilman
Cano,
is
a
very
important
part
of
the
city.
It's
a
part
of
the
city
that
just
has
not
received
its
fair
share
of
investments.
Despite
the
fact
that
Moss
Park
the
debt,
the
Downtown
East
the
components
around
Allen
gardens
in
South,
cabbage
town.
N
We
continue
to
carry
our
lion's
share
of
community
services
for
very
vulnerable
populations,
so
the
person
that
I'm
looking
for
to
support
the
work
that
we
have
been
doing
in
work,
27
and
28
to
amplify
the
the
advocacy
that's
required
to
champion
more
resources
and
more
services
in
an
inclusive
fashion.
Is
someone
such
as
Michael
Creek
I
actually
have
gotten
to
know
Michael
in
a
very
short
period
of
time?
N
I
didn't
know
him
very
well,
and
what
I've
seen
from
from
my
co
is
a
man
who
actually
leads
with
his
heart
and
his
and
integrity,
and
so
I
don't
come
to
this
decision
with
a
lot
of
history
with
him.
I
certainly
have
known
Susan
and
Kevin
both
much
longer,
but
but
Michael
is
the
candidate.
That
is
most
compelling
for
me
and
of
course
it
does
make
a
difference
that
the
McConnell
family
has
has
rallied
around
him
with
with
their
important
support.
N
But
what's
even
more
important
to
me
as
a
war,
27,
sibling,
counselor
is
and
best
friend,
counselor
I'd,
say
too
is
that
we
actually
are
sharing
those
those
common
communities.
So,
when
I
take
a
look
at
the
lists
of
individuals
and
organizations
that
have
endorsed
Michael
Creek,
they
are
the
same
organizations
that
I
am
working
with
on
a
regular
basis
on
all
the
common
issues,
which
is
why
it
actually
holds
so
much
weight.
N
For
me,
when
I
see
my
neighboring
communities,
it's
all
stand
up
and
rally
with
with
loud
and
passion,
enthusiastic
voices
for
Michael's
candidacy,
and
that's
where
I
will
be
placing
my
vote
today
and
I
hope
that
that
we
would
all
be
able
to
Lisa
give
give
his
nomination
and
his
candidacy
further
serious
consideration.
If
you
haven't
decided
already.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
Q
That
being
said,
the
rest
of
the
process,
I
think,
has
been
excellent.
There
have
been
some
wonderful
candidates,
Benton
top
amongst
them,
but
to
councilor
mammal
Edie's
point.
This
is
ultimately
sorry
Kelson
errol
did
you
want
to
say
something:
okay,
thank
you,
you're,
just
very
distracting.
Thank
you.
Apart
from
counselor
ma'am,
ladies.
Q
Is
between
my
crete
and
lucy
Troisi
we've
we've
heard
we've
seen
very
we've.
Seen
numerous
reference,
letters
and
and
I
know:
councillor
mackovic
wants
to
go
on
by
those
letters,
but
if,
if
we
were
to
do
that,
what's
the
point
of
this
whole
process,
if
this
is
just
about
reference,
letters
and
resumes,
why
is
anybody
even
here
today.
Q
People
talking
about
it
in
a
speech,
I'm
talking
about
a
track
record,
a
long
track
record
I
believe
both
Mike
and
Lucy
fit
that
bill,
but
I,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
councilor
Prusa
who's,
not
here
today,
when
our
not
here
right
now
when
he
asked
Lucy
a
question
that
I
really
felt
beyond
comparing
resumes
when
Lucy
talked
about
her
father
with
muscular
dystrophy,
her
twelve
siblings
and
herself
living
in
public
housing.
To
me,
that's
a
lived
experience
and
that's
what's
tipped
the
balance
for
me.
R
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker
I'm.
Sorry,
madam
Speaker,
might
the
previous
speaker
was
distracted
by
the
reaction
created
by
making
a
provocative
remark
provocative
and
perhaps
unfounded?
Perhaps
madam
Speaker,
that
the
speakers
list
following
the
candidates
speeches
began
with
another
provocative
speech
and
I
think
that's
a
shame
because
it
set
a
tone
that
I
think
is
unfortunate.
R
If
we
were
looking
for
a
tone
for
the
discussion
today,
I
think
the
media
said
it
on
the
day
of
Pam's
passing
the
first
article
from
the
Toronto
Star
featured
a
video
clip
of
Pam
explaining
to
us
what
a
shelter
is
any
shelter,
what
housing
means
to
people,
whether
it's
in
the
form
of
a
shelter
or
social
housing
unit
or
an
affordable
housing
unit,
newly
built
or
revitalization,
and
all
the
disruption.
That
goes
with
that.
R
That
actually
ought
to
be
the
tone
of
today's
discussion
and
the
candidates
tried
their
darndest
to
keep
the
tone
in
that
realm.
We
heard
I
made
notes
as
they
were
speaking.
We
heard
a
candidate
talk
about
their
needing
to
be
a
refugees
perspective.
The
family
of
refugees,
refugees
perspective
in
this
room.
I
talked
to
a
candidate
going
out
to
the
lunch
break
about
her
comments
about
her
ongoing
work
in
the
NGO
field.
R
On
restorative
justice,
we
heard
from
people
talking
about
the
lived
experience
approach
and
how
many
different
ways
you
might
bring
lived
experience
to
the
types
of
things
that
Pam
worked
on,
but
to
me
working
in
my
ward
on
to
social
housing.
Revitalization
projects
it
all
comes
down
to
who
is
ready
to
hit
the
ground
running
on
the
ongoing
work
in
revitalization,
because
really
everything
that
happens
in
the
ward
starts
at
that
heart
of
the
revitalization
project,
known
as
Regent
Park,
all
of
the
precincts
around
it.
R
All
of
that
work
really
only
gets
to
be
the
most
successful
part
of
the
city.
If
we
get
the
revitalization
right
and
it
is
not
done
at
the
memorial
service
for
councillor
McConnell,
we
heard
one
of
her
constituents
step
up
to
speak
of
her
experience
working
with
her
councillor
and
then
to
weep
for
fear.
R
That's
why
I'm
voting
for
Mike
Creek,
because
he
was
there
at
the
beginning
of
the
process.
He
knows
what
has
happened
thus
far.
What's
in
stream
right
now,
and
he
knows
what
has
to
happen
as
everyone
returns
the
hardest
part
of
any
revitalization,
they
can
speak
to
this
fir
through
experience,
because
I'm
in
the
middle
of
doing
two
of
them
and
the
hardest
part
is
the
relocation
and
the
return
and
then
the
rebuilding.
R
R
That
is
probably
the
reason
the
councilor
cressie
has
been
so
active
and
working
on
this
and
will
probably
speak
to
it
because
he's
like
me,
he's
executing
Alexandra,
Park
and
I
can
tell
you
from
executing
the
villa
ways
and
allenbury
Gardens
working
with
families
returning
now
in
just
the
first
phase
that
it's
very
uncertain
times-
and
it
is
very
much
a
science
and
I
was
very
pleased
to
see
so
many
high-caliber
candidates
here
today.
I
hope
all
of
them
is
planning
on
a
run.
R
But
there
is
the
true
science
of
revitalization
going
on
right
now,
and
whoever
steps
into
that
office
has
to
be
ready
to
work
with
Tom
Shawn
claudia
has
to
be
willing
to
work
with
the
team
on
all
the
things
that
are
currently
in
stream
and
are
very,
very
delicate
things
and
have
to
be
handled
deftly,
and
there
is
one
candidate
who
can
do
that
for
us
and
so
I'll
be
supporting
mr.
Creek
today.
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Thank
you.
G
You
speaker,
let
me
begin
by
echoing
what
some
of
my
colleagues
have
said,
which
is
to
thank
and
congratulate
all
those
who
put
their
names
forward.
It
is
not
easy,
in
fact,
it's
tremendously
hard
to
stand
and
be
counted
and
I
want
to
thank
and
congratulate
you
like
many
of
us
I
hope
we
have
the
privilege
of
working
with
you
here
and
I
do
want
to
single
out
Kevin
bong
Susan
gap
go
my
goodness
and
Lucy,
and
and
and
Sarah
over
there.
G
There
is
one
thing
to
consider
and
the
most
important
factor
with
less
than
a
year
left
in
this
term.
Seven
council
meetings
is
which
candidate
will
ensure
consistency
and
continuity
in
this
community.
In
that
ward,
that
is
the
most
important
factor.
The
residents
who
elected
Pam
deserve
consistency
and
continuity.
The
development
community,
an
award
that
has
nearly
a
quarter
of
the
development
in
the
entire
city
and
has
been
working
on
files
with
Pam
and
her
staff
for
two
years
deserved
consistency
and
certainty.
G
The
Dewar
20
office
staff
themselves,
after
a
sudden,
passing
deserved
consistency
and
certainty,
and
it's
for
that
reason
that
I
am
supporting
Michael
Creek
Michael
is,
as
you
have
seen,
and
I
hope.
You
know,
he's
thoughtful
and
collaborative
when
those
around
Pam
who
worked
with
camp
Pam
decided
to
support
Mike
they
by
design
selected
somebody
who
was
not
partisan
by
design
selected.
Somebody
who
had
worked
directly
with
Pam
and
developing
the
anti-poverty
agenda-
and
this
is
a
man
who
has
depth
of
experience
on
this-
he's
worked
on
the
poverty
files.
G
Yes,
in
the
city
at
the
TDSB
at
the
national
level,
he's
represented
this
country
at
the
UN
working
with
all
parties,
but
I
think,
most
importantly,
when
it
comes
to
consistency
and
certainty,
he
is
supported
by
the
majority
of
local
residents
associations,
those
people
who
have
to
work
with
the
Ward
28
office,
he's
supported
by
Pam's
family
he's
supported
by
the
three
most
recent
city
councilors
in
that
area,
including
former
mayor
Barbara
Hall.
But
it's
the
local
residents.
G
You
have
a
letter
in
front
of
you,
signed
by
more
than
a
and
50
local
community
leaders,
chairs
of
coops
chairs
of
residents,
associations
from
the
waterfront
to
Regent,
Park
to
st.
James
town
and
I
am
certain.
He
will
maintain
consistency
and
certainty,
but
most
of
all,
like
himself,
he
personifies
Pam's
work
in
so
many
ways.
As
a
gay
man
living
with
a
disability,
he
will
bring
new
viewpoints
to
this
chamber
that
Pam
spoke
of
as
someone
who
experienced
homelessness
and
rose
out
of
it
to
buy
a
condo
in
Regent
Park
by
design.
G
He
can
speak
directly
to
Pam's
work
in
that
area.
As
someone
who
has
lived
in
T
C
HC,
he
can
speak
directly
to
those
issues.
With
that
background,
he
does
personify
the
work
that
Pam
did,
which
is
why
her
family
and
her
community
leaders
are
endorsing
him
and
I'm
certain.
He
will
carry
on
that
work
and
I
know.
This
is
a
big
decision,
but
to
me
the
right
thing
to
do
if
I
just
take
a
step
back,
put
all
the
politics
out
of
this
place.
Take
everything
away.
No!
No!
G
If
we
do
that
and
take
it
all
the
way
and
say
the
right
thing
to
do
is
to
ensure
that
we're
carrying
on
Pam's
working
the
way
Pam
would
have
wanted.
Take
it
all
the
way
and
I
believe
that
Pam
would
be
here
with
Michael
Creek
today
and
that's
not
to
take
away
from
any
of
the
other
wonderful
candidates
who
have
been
exceptional.
But
in
my
heart
of
hearts
you
honor
Pam's
legacy
by
selecting
the
candidate
that
she
would
have
selected
herself
and
to
me
that
is
Michael
Creek.
S
S
This
is
not
an
easy
chamber,
sometimes
and
I
know
what
it's
like
getting
up,
having
to
speak
to
a
chamber
of
politicians,
and
it's
not
easy
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
coming
out,
and
if
you
still
continue
having
that
fire
in
your
belly,
please
please
keep
keep
wanting
to
provide
that
public
service
for
the
fact
that
you
are
doing
that
I
think
is
a
testament
to
your
resolve
for
this
city
and
for
the
residents
here.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
and
I
also
we
shouldn't
be
here
today.
S
We
should
not
be
here
today
with
deepest
regrets.
We
are
because
of
the
loss
of
my
friend
and
my
colleague
and
our
friend
and
colleague,
Pam
McConnell,
but
we
are
here
and
I
want
to
send
my
deepest
regrets
to
to
the
family,
to
Heather
and
to
Jim
for
for
being
here
and
with
we
shouldn't
be
here,
and
it's
very
very
unfortunate,
but
we
do
have
a
responsibility
today.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
appoint
a
counselor
for
Ward
28.
S
It
was
impressive
when
she
was
here
before
us
today.
She
was
incredibly
impressive.
The
way
she
handled
herself
with
the
poise
with
some
of
the
questions
that
came
out
her
and
how
she
managed
to
be
able
to
answer
the
questions
properly.
So
she
absolutely
impressive.
She
has
a
thirty-year
successful
career
at
City
Hall.
Her
last
position
was
for
the
manager
of
community
engagement.
Her
whole
life
has
been
about
community
engagement
and
she
has
dealt
with
it
on
a
professional
level.
S
At
the
city,
but
she
has
also
lived
in
breathed
community
engagement
in
Ward
28
she's,
an
activist
that
been
at
many
the
front
of
many
aspects
of
what
Ward
28
has
been
with
her
laughs
or
her
present
position
right
now
at
the
cabbage
town.
Youth
center
would
be
one
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
entire
list
of
what
she
has
done
and
accomplished,
but
from
a
person
who
grew
up
in
Regent
Park
and
understands
the
complexity
of
what
Regent
Park
was
like
many
many
years
ago
with
12
siblings,
she
came
out
of
poverty.
S
She
came
out
of
challenging
circumstances
and
she
made
the
decision
not
only
to
work
within
the
city
for
many
of
those
things.
She
actually
did
that
because,
and
she
lived
there
because
she
feels
a
importance
to
the
to
the
to
the
community.
So
we
need
a
counselor
who's.
Gonna
hit
the
ground
running
Lucy
will
do
that.
She
has
an
understanding
of
what
City
Hall's
all
about
and
with
less
than
a
year
ten
months,
she
will
hit
the
ground
running
with
what
has
to
happen
for
the
community.
S
She
knows
the
community
it's
in
and
and
I
think
many
of
the
candidates
knows
the
community,
but
that's
also
critically
important,
but
what's
incredibly
important
to
me.
She's
gonna
continue
the
legacy
of
Pam
McConnell,
the
legacy
of
poverty
reduction
opportunities
for
children
and
for
youth,
homelessness
and
housing
newcomers.
S
I
Crawford
has
has
his
reasons
which
I
respect
him
and
other
councillors
have
their
reasons.
I'll
tell
you
why
I'm
supporting
Lucy's
she
was
in
my
office,
and
so
so
I
asked
her
some
point,
blank
questions
which
were
really
important
to
me
because,
quite
frankly,
we're
we're
here
for
another
seven
months
or
so
and
and
we're
gonna
be
asked.
We
make
some
tough
decisions
and
I
would
like
someone
on
this
council
who's
going
to
vote.
I
Actually
the
way
I
think
that
this
council
should
be
going
we're
gonna,
be
going
through
a
budget
process
and
I
asked
her
questions
about
holding
a
line
on
taxes
and
she
answered
the
question
the
right
way.
I
asked
her
questions
about
supporting
the
mayor's
agenda
because
that's
important
to
me
and
she
said
she
supports
the
mayor's
agenda.
I
asked
her
about
starboard
subway.
She
said
she
was
supportive
of
the
Scarborough
subway
I
asked
her
about
the
Gardiner
Expressway
Expressway.
She
answered
that
question.
S
I
Dealt
with
in
the
right
way
and
the
way
that
I
think
that
it
should
be
the
way
that
I
think
it
should
be
dealt
with
and
I
and
and
those
are,
the
things
are
important
to
me.
Those
are
the
things
that
I
think
that
are
important
to
the
city
and
we
have
an
agenda
to
move
forward
and
and
and
and
lucy
has
said
to
me
that
she
supports
that
agenda.
Thank.
A
T
You
very
much
Speaker
I,
too,
want
to
lend
my
voice
and
to
acknowledge
all
the
people
who
have
come
out
here
today
to
speak
to
us.
We
have
found
some
amazing
I
found
some
amazing
people
who
are,
in
my
view,
great
candidates
and,
in
fact,
would
actually
do
an
excellent
job.
I,
too,
have
been
lobbied.
In
fact,
I
have
actually
spoke
in
support
of
one
or
two
individuals
who
I
thought.
T
T
In
fact,
we
have
lobbied
to
get
wined
for
the
women's
breakfast
to
help
with
women's
education
and
so
on
to
help
young
people,
and
this
is
what
Pam
was
about
from
my
experience
with
her
I-
have
spent
many
times
with
her
across
the
country
drinking
wine
drinking
beer
talking
about
women
in
politics.
So
when
someone
came
to
me
and
said,
I'm
interested
in
running
in
Pam
McConnell's
area,
I
actually
was
looking
for.
A
woman.
T
I
must
tell
you
that
I
was
looking
for
a
woman
because
of
what
I
felt
was
at
a
time
and
I
still
do
today.
This
was
about
her
legacy.
I
have
work
with
Pam
McConnell
I
have
work
with
anne
mcclain
and
others
who
are
women
who
are
giants
across
this
country
and
they've
been
involved
with
politics.
Pam
McConnell
has
stood
in
this
chamber
with
a
variety
of
young
women
in
this
chamber
who
she
said
to
us:
I
want
more
young
women
in
politics,
and
so,
when
I
look
at
someone
like
Lucy,
Taurasi,
I,
say
wow.
T
This
is
an
interesting
person
and
I
also
wanted
to
evaluate
her
against
the
other
people.
So
before
I
made
my
decision,
I
basically
had
just
the
people
who
I
knew
were
interested
I
didn't
have
all
the
people
who
I
knew
were
interested
in
the
position
of
Swann
and
so
in
terms
of
moving
forward
and
I.
T
Look
at
some
of
the
things
that
Pam
McConnell
has
said
where
she
obviously
the
chair
of
a
committee
dealing
with
women's
issue,
and
she
says
women's-
make
up
52
percent
of
Canada's
population,
but
only
23
percent
of
municipal
council,
and
so
for
me.
She
also
goes
on
to
say:
Canada
needs
more
women
in
municipal
politics.
T
What
are
we
saying
here
today?
I
guess
something
has
changed:
I,
don't
know
what
that
something
is,
but
the
person
that
I
have
spent
a
number
of
years
working
with,
has
been
an
advocate
for
women
in
politics
and
so
I'm
hearing
today.
Well,
apparently,
that's
not
the
case.
Well,
that's
not
the
Pam
McConnell
I'm!
You
right,
she
has
been
very
aggressive.
Supporting
women
and
I
have
an
amazing
woman
who
in
fact
could
do
an
amazing
job
representing
Ward
28.
T
T
Not
what
I
think
you
need
to
tell
me,
but,
based
on
my
experience
in
terms
of
working
with
Pam
McConnell
I,
have
walked
with
her
in
varying
committee
rooms
across
this
country,
where
she's
advocating
for
women
being
in
politics,
and
so
today,
I'm
going
to
elect
a
man,
no
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
not
I'm,
going
to
elect
the
best
woman
for
this
position
because,
based
on
my
relationship
with
Pam
McConnell,
that's
what
I
believe
that
she
would
have
wanted.
I'm,
not
gonna.
T
Listen
to
anybody
else
tells
me
what
she
would
have
wanted,
because
I
spent
the
time
with
her
I.
Don't
have
to
ask
for
permission.
I
don't
have
to
ask
oh
I,
don't
have
to
read
something
to
know
about
the
comments
that
she's
been
made.
I
remember
once
we
had
to
get
wine
from
Joe
Pantalone
his
brother
and
I
had
to
secure
that
Pam
Michael.
You
got
to
get
that
because
we
really
need
that
because
we
need
funding
for
the
women
in
politics.
We
work
for
that
particular
process.
T
There
are
many
other
incidents
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
today,
I'm
going
to
base
my
decision
based
on
what
I
know
and
my
relationship
with
Pat
McConnell.
Maybe
other
people
may
have
a
different
relationship,
but
I
can
tell
you
the
amount
of
time
and
energy
I've
spent
with
there
and
women
in
politics.
There's
no
way
I
can
do
anything
differently.
Thank.
A
I
D
This
is
the
second
time
in
this
chamber
that
we
have
selected.
We,
the
elected
officials,
have
selected
somebody
to
succeed,
a
person
that
has
passed
I'd
rather
that
we
didn't
put
ourselves
in
this
situation
I'd,
rather
that
the
folks
that
are
in
the
ward
certainly
go
forward
and
vote.
You
will
hear
that
we're
not
having
an
election
cost
you
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Well
the
money
of
the
amount
of
money
that
we
spent
in
order
to
say
that
we
have
democracy,
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
exercise
the
people
in
the
world.
D
However,
I
am
sure
that
she
would
want
nothing
less
than
for
us
to
hold
a
democratic
election,
and
what
we're
doing
here
today
certainly
does
not
reflect
that.
It
does
not
reflect
the
wishes
of
the
people
in
the
ward.
It
reflects
a
lot
of
arm-twisting
and
a
lot
of
maneuvering
and
a
lot
of
running
around
and
a
lot
of
passing
of
letters
and
a
lot
of
like
you
do
this
and
I
owe
you
this.
That
is
certainly
not
democracy.
That
is
not
certainly.
D
That
is
not
certainly
what
this
country
and
democracy
stands
for.
Yep
we're
going
to
democratically
us
here
today
elect
a
person
to
represent
them,
but
I
have
to
tell
you
moving
forward.
I'll,
be
hard
pressed
for
us
to
do
this
again.
The
people
of
the
Ward
must
speak,
and
if
we're
within
six
months
of
a
general
election,
then
that
office
should
be
handled
by
the
city
clerk
as
it's
handled
right
now.
This
is
what
happens
in
other
levels
of
governments.
D
We
here
say
that
we're
a
part
of
into
democracy
and
we
aspire
to
be
a
partner
meant
to
democracy,
and
we
speak
about
parliamentary
democracy.
Well,
folks,
if
you
think
that
we're
exercising
democracy
here
today,
I
Got
News,
for
you
shake
your
heads,
we
already
know
how
we're
voting
you
already
been
lobbied.
I
am
speaking
counselor
because
they
think
it's
important
that
we
allow
the
people
and
the
residents
of
that
word
to
speak.
There's
some
councillors
behind
me
and
I
will
not
mention
them
that
are
not
favorable
of
what
I
am
saying.
D
Well,
democratically,
the
people
of
Scarborough,
a
jerk
or
directed
me
and
I,
have
the
right
for
the
next
48
seconds
to
deliver
my
message.
So
in
that
respect,
anybody
that
says,
sword
sword
sitting
and
so
and
so
and
so
in
soy
settings
so,
and
so
those
movers
and
shakers
do
not
speak
for
the
people
of
the
ward.
The
people
that
speak
for
the
people
of
the
ward
are
the
people
that
should
have
been
allowed
to
go
and
vote
democratically
and
unfortunately
we
did
not
allow
them.
We
took
that
away
from
them,
so
moving
forward.
D
A
I
Say
something
about
what
count
at
two
to
counter
what
counselor
Kelly
just
said
and
and
counselor
Thompson
too,
and
both
of
them
I
hold
in
high
esteem,
and
you
know
that
I
think
that
the
wrong
message
is
being
put
out
there
with
respect
to
pam.
Pam
was
not
a
saint
we're
not
out
here
to
sanctify
Pam.
She
was
a
street
scrapper.
I
A
I
We
got
phenomenal
candidates
here
today,
but
as
I
know
as
chair
of
the
nob
dating
panel,
the
only
way
to
move
the
Delft
word
when
it
comes
to
women,
whether
it
be
boards.
So
if
we
look
at
the
private
sector
with
fourteen
percent,
the
city's
done
phenomenal
with
over
forty
percent
on
our
boards
and
we've
moved
the
dial
on
that.
I
But
when
you
have
amazing
candidates
on
either
side
when
it
comes
to
gender
I'm
going
to
move
forward
with
the
women,
that's
what
I'm
going
to
do
and
I,
irrespective
of
obviously
I
believe
that
councillor
McConnell
was
an
advocate
for
women.
She
was
an
absolute
advocate
for
women.
Any
type
of
under-representation,
counselor
mcconnell
was
there
for
poverty
or
gender
diversity
inclusion
and
that's
what
we're
gonna
do
here
today,
so
I'm
gonna
be
voting
for
lucy
in
terms
of
all
the
lobbying.
Obviously,
I've
listened
to
all
sides
as
well
and
guess
what
it's
politics?
I
That's
what
we
expect
here
in
the
chamber.
That's
what
we
expect
here.
Prior.
It
happens
all
the
time
on
tons
of
votes.
So
here
today
I'm
gonna
be
going
for
the
best
candidate
that
I
believe
she
can
hit
the
ground
running.
She's
got
thirty
years
experience
with
the
city
of
toronto
and
she's
a
phenomenal
candidate,
so
I'm
gonna
be
voting
for
Luci.
Thank.
M
So
madam
Speaker
I've
listened
a
lot
to
what
people
had
to
say
here
today
in
the
candidates
and
I
have
to
say
they
were
absolutely
some
fantastic
candidates
and
you
have
a
choice.
Members
of
council
for
a
number
of
fantastic
women
candidates,
female
candidates
that
were
here
there
were
a
number
of
them
here.
I
hear
this
debate
about
two
people
today
is
not
about
two
people.
It
was
about
listening,
who
made
the
deputation
and
who's
best
for
the
job.
M
I
mean
I
was
quite
expressed
by
an
error,
but
in
particular
I
think
was
Sarah
could
have
the
schoolteacher
Wow.
Let
me
tell
you
that
looked
like
a
person
that
would
hit
the
ground
running
and
if
you
were
in
the
way
you
might
get
bowled
over.
As
we
know,
someone
else
almost
was
in
this
council
chamber
because
that's
a
dynamic
individual,
it
seemed
like,
and
there
are
others
that
were
here
yet
you've
limited
your
vote
and
your
discussion
to
two
people
now
we'll
go.
What
comes
to
the
family?
Recommending
someone
for
counsel?
M
Well,
I
am
a
person
whose
family
member
passed
away
in
office,
and,
let
me
tell
you
I,
was
asked
and
not
involved
with
politics.
You
know
and
my
father
was
asked
to
support
people
and
it
was
our
position.
Then
it
remains
mine.
Now
it's
not
the
family
who
passed,
who
should
be
recommending
who
should
go
forward
and
we
didn't.
We
left
it
open
for
the
council
to
consider
the
right
individuals
that
were
there
to
make
their
deputations
and
no
one
got
any
letters
of
recommendation
from
us
and
I
said
directly
to
some.
M
That
asked
me
that,
in
my
opinion,
would
be
an
abuse
of
the
process
because
it's
not
for
me
to
say
who's
best,
just
because
I
know
somebody
I
appreciate
if
someone
wants
to
say
someone's
good
and
talk
to
us
now,
I
haven't
been
lobbied.
I
didn't
want
to
hear
any
of
the
candidates
in
advance.
Nobody
came
in
to
lobby
me.
My
members
of
council
basically
said
we
think
someone's
better
I
said.
That's.
Okay,
I
will
listen
to
the
candidates
here.
So
let's
come
back
to
who's
in
front
of
us
and
what
we've
been
doing
lately.
M
That
is
extremely
important
if
you
want
to
fulfill
that,
and
just
because
and
I
heard
up
from
a
few
of
my
colleagues,
others
well,
the
family
recommended
of
the
family
would
like
I'm
very
sympathetic
to
that
and
all
the
hard
work
that
pam
has
done
and
how
they'd
like
to
see
it
carried
on
because
it's
you
know
when,
as
I
said,
I'm
the
son
of
a
person
that
did
that
I
didn't
run
after
she
was.
It
was
a
number
years
later
and
of
course,
she
had
great
work
and,
of
course,
Pam
had
great
work.
M
So
when
you
do
press
the
button
today,
it
shouldn't
be
because
somebody
lobbied
you
it
shouldn't
be
because
a
family
asked
you
it
shouldn't,
because
the
family
like
that
or
a
member
of
council
was
there.
There
should
be
whoever
you
saw
at
that
podium
that
you
think
can
hit
the
ground
running
and
do
the
best
job
until
next
summer,
because
that's
when
this
term
is
over
and
actually
fulfill
those
duties
and
if
you
press
any
other
way,
then
I
don't
believe
that
you're
doing
your
service
that
you
should
have
for
your
constituents.
M
R
H
Fletcher,
thank
you
also
echo
what
everyone
said
to
all
those
who
put
their
name
forward
today
and
all
the
good
ideas
they've
brought
to
us
and
to
say:
don't
quit
keep
going.
It's
very
sad
that
three
times
this
term
we've
had
a
death
in
office,
councillor
Ford
sort,
molds
are
died,
councillor
McConnell
died
and
also
we
had
someone
leave.
So
we've
had
a
number
of
times
that
we've
had
to
to
make
these
decisions
and
twice
we
or
one
other
time,
we've
taken
into
account
what
the
family
wishes
were,
and
that
was
with
councillor
Moser.
H
My
friends
I
now
want
to
speak
about
Pam
and
her
legacy
and,
with
all
due
respect
to
you,
counselor
Thompson
and
other
counselors
I
have
to
tell
you
that
I
spoke
with
Pam
every
day.
I
knew
exactly
what
the
top
issues
were
in
Pam's
mind
and
yes,
she
was
very
supportive
of
women,
I'm
very
supportive
of
at
FCM
and
felt
we
should
have
more
women
on
this
council.
She
was
also
very
supportive
of
the
LGBT
community.
H
Very
much
so
a
large
part
of
her
ward
identifying
that
way,
and
she
would
have
also
said
Mike
Creek-
is
an
openly
gay
man,
an
important
factor
for
everybody.
As
far
as
diversity
is
concerned
here
for
a
while,
we
have
a
number
of
10
or
11
12
women.
Here
we
have
no
openly
gay
men.
We
have
our
sister
Kristyn
wong-tam,
so
that's
a
factor
that,
quite
frankly,
everyone
who's
speaking
about
diversity.
H
You
must
take
that
into
consideration,
but
what
I
really
want
to
tell
you
about
is
what
Pam's
number
one
issue
was,
and
it's
why
the
mayor
made
Pam
the
deputy
mayor.
He
made
her
deputy
mayor
not
to
put
more
women
not
to
have
more
LGBT
members
of
council.
He
made
Pam
deputy
mayor
to
fight
poverty
in
this
city,
full
stop
for
which
she
dedicated
herself
from
the
second.
He
gave
her
that
position
until
her
dying
breath.
Her
poverty
reduction
mandate
is
what
we're
speaking
about
here.
She
walked
the
streets.
She
wanted
to
rebuild
Regent
Park.
H
She
has
a
big
legacy
to
fill
and
I
want
to
say
that.
For
that
reason,
yes,
there's
people
who
are
very
good
talking
about
what
they
would
do
in
anti-poverty.
But
Mike
Creek
was
that
the
City
of
Toronto
advisory
group
poverty
reduction
strategy
he's
hitting
the
ground
running
on
that
City
of
Toronto
transit,
fare
equity
project
he's
hitting
the
ground
running
consultant
homes
for
special
care,
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care.
Provincial
appointment
he's
hitting
the
ground
running
provincial
working
group
employment
strategy
for
people
with
disabilities,
he's
hitting
the
ground
running.
H
How
do
you
hit
the
ground
running?
You
hit
the
ground
running
because
you
have
strong
community
support
because
you
have
staff
in
that
office
that
know
what
they're
doing
and
you're
keeping
them
there
and
you
have
those
relationships
in
the
community
and
I.
Don't
know
because
we
didn't
have
an
election.
I
actually
have
to
be
swayed
by
this
letter
that
council
Irma
Havok
put
in
and
the
number
of
people
in
this
community
from
all
of
the
communities
that
Pam
worked
with
Regent
Park,
st.
James
town,
st.
Lawrence
neighbourhood,
Yorkie,
Association,
waterfront,
distillery
district.
H
H
Mike
Creek
is
someone
who
we,
as
community
activists,
have
faith
in
to
simply
ignore
that,
because
you
think
you
knew
quite
well
what
Pam
McConnell
thought
is
wrong:
I
understanding
with
what
the
community
thinks.
Nobody
else
has
brought
forward
a
large
number
of
people
to
say
this
is
the
person
that
represents
us
in
this
difficult
appointment
process.
So
I
would
urge
you
all
to
support
my
Creek.
A
E
Members
we
are
now
proceeding
for
the
to
the
balloting
for
appointment
to
the
office
of
councillor
for
Ward
28.
There
is
one
position
to
a
point:
if
the
nominee
who
receives
the
greatest
number
of
votes
cast
receives
the
votes
of
more
than
one
half
of
the
members
of
the
number
of
the
members
of
council
president
voting
I
will
declare
the
candidate
to
be
able
to
point
it
if
the
nominee
with
the
most
votes
does
not
receive
the
votes
of
a
majority
of
the
members
present
council
will
conduct
another
round
of
voting.
E
The
next
ballot
will
exclude
the
nominees
with
the
fewest
votes
and
any
nominee
with
no
votes
balloting
will
continue
in
this
way
until
the
candidate
receiving
the
most
votes
also
receives
the
majority
of
votes.
If
only
two
nominees
remain
and
the
votes
for
the
two
remaining
nominees
are
tied,
I
will
select
the
appointee
by
the
following
method.
The
names
of
each
of
the
two
remaining
nominees
will
be
placed
on
two
sheets
of
paper
of
equal
size.
E
We
are
about
to
distribute
the
ballots
for
appointment
toward
28
to
you,
the
names
of
all
candidates
who
have
consented
to
accept
the
office
of
ward
28,
if
appointed,
will
appear
on
the
ballot
except
those
who
have
officially
withdrawn
whether
they
appeared
at
this
special
meeting
or
not.
Please
indicate
your
vote
by
placing
an
X
in
