A
B
B
Also
recently,
when
we,
as
a
council,
asked
for
the
allowance
for
photo
radar
in
neighborhoods
around
schools,
we
had
to
ask
the
province
to
do
something
as
simple
and
clear
as
that
to
contribute
to
road
safety,
whether
it
be
revenue
tools
are
general
governance
and
municipal
elections.
It
is
absolutely
archaic
that
a
city
as
mature
as
Toronto
a
major
global
city
needs
to
keep
going
to
this
sort
of
parental
entity
to
ask
for
permission
for
such
basic
elemental
things.
B
In
fact,
in
in
this,
in
the
midst
of
a
debate
about
how
to
make
the
City
Hall
function,
better,
I
would
submit
that,
regardless
of
the
number
of
seats
we
have
or
the
number
of
wards
we
have.
If,
if
this
wasn't
a
a
body
that
had
to
keep
moving
motion,
saying
we
formally
request,
we
formally
request,
but
if
we
could
actually
just
take
action
on
our
priorities,
whether
it
be
Infrastructure,
Road,
Safety,
building,
transit
what-have-you.
B
That
would
be
the
most
meaningful
contribution
to
making
this
place
function
in
the
way
that
it
could.
In
fact,
the
City
of
Toronto
Toronto,
Council
I
would
I
would
suggest.
Is
the
level
of
government
with
the
highest
level
of
X
vacations
on
it
and
the
least
amount
of
power
and
people
want
their
local
government
to
be
able
to
act
for
their
interests,
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
are
closest
to
the
people.
B
B
This
should
never
happen
again
and
those
rights
should
be
entrenched
within
the
City
of
Toronto,
but
I
would
also
suggest
that
this
conversation
has
roots
even
before
this
issue
came
up
that
we
should
be
finally
having
the
discussion
about
and
rhetorically,
it's
always
called
the
New
Deal
for
cities
that
New
Deal
has
never
really
happened.
The
City
of
Toronto
Act
was
an
improvement,
but
it
wasn't
a
new
deal.
A
new
deal
means
that
Toronto
is
actually
a
government
in
every
sense
of
that
word
in
reality,
I
want
to
speak
for
a
moment
about.
B
What's
happened
recently,
you
know
just
because
you
have
an
election
and
you
form
a
majority
government
at
Queen's
Park.
It
doesn't
mean
you
get
a
mandate
to
be
a
dictator.
It
doesn't
mean
that
you
can
dismiss
the
courts
as
something
irrelevant.
In
fact,
our
courts
in
in
in
Canadian
democracy
are
an
integral
part
of
our
democratic
institution
of
they
can
often
keep
our
governments
in
check
when
they
overstep
their
bounds
and
there's
always
been
a
tacit
agreement.
Conventional
wisdom
is
always
understood
that
the
notwithstanding
Clause
is
an
act
of
the
most
extreme
measure.
B
The
last
resort
never
to
be
used
to
simply
bicker
and
go
to
battle
with
old
colleagues.
The
way
the
Doug
Ford
has
done
and
I'll
conclude
with
this.
This
might
happen
again.
Premier
Ford
has
said
he
will
do
this
again
and
we
need
to
draw
in
the
line
a
line
in
the
sand.
Today
we
are
showing
leadership
as
a
council.
B
We
are
standing
up
for
our
citizens
and
we
must
move
forward
with
ensuring
that
the
City
of
Toronto
no
matter
the
wards,
no
matter
the
number
can
have
the
ability
to
be
able
to
make
decisions
and
move
forward
in
a
functional
way.
It's
ironic
that
the
person
who
brought
chaos
to
this
council
when
he
was
on
council
thanks.
C
A
D
You,
madam
Speaker
councilor.
What
other
cities
would
you
like
to
add
to
this
I
mean
I,
just
I
think
the
emotion
is
so
broad
that
it's
gonna
die
on
the
vine
when
you
quote
municipal
OSHA,
so
what
other
cities
like
you're,
aware
that
out
of
the
444
municipalities,
the
vast
majority
have
like
part-time
counselors
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
so
to
give
part-time
councils
some
of
the
like,
they
don't
even
have
bureaucracies
that
can
conclude
these
types
of
issues.
So
what
other
cities
other
than
the
City
of
Toronto?
B
D
B
D
B
Because
I
I'm
convinced
as
most
truant,
onehans
and
I
believe
Canadians
are
that
you
know
a
nineteenth-century
model
for
four
cities
doesn't
work
for
21st
century
cities.
This
was
eighty
percent
of
Canadians
live
in
urban
areas.
This
you
know
the
the
rules
were
set
when
we
were
predominantly
agrarian
society
and
we've
got
to
catch
up.
So
you
know
there
there
will
be
some
who
want
to
be
great
defenders
of
a
status
quo.
B
D
A
D
D
A
D
Issue
before
us,
if
I
can
finish
my
point
of
order
before
being
interrupted,
my
point
of
order
is
that
we're
here
today
dealing
with
bill
five,
it's
about
a
provincial
act
affecting
the
size
of
this
council.
The
bill
of
five
has
nothing
to
do
with
us,
putting
a
separate
and
independent
and
totally
disconnected
request
to
the
federal
government
to
change
the
Constitution.
B
B
A
Thank
you
count.
Merritt
Orion,
I.
E
Did
have
a
couple
of
miles
figure
assuming
that
you've
said
this
is
an
order
and
I'm
quite
happy
with
that.
If
that's
that's
your
wish,
I
just
wondered
a
couple
things
one.
It
really
does
follow
along
though
I'm
asking
it
in
a
kind
of
a
way
that
you've
thought
about.
I
assume
the
notion
that
asking
the
government
to
do
this
if
their
act,
you're
asking
them
to
do
something
that
does
fall.
E
Going
back
to
my
first-year
law
school
in
the
in
the
in
the
exclusive
domain
of
the
provinces
under
the
Constitution
so
had
you
had
you
had
in
mind
that
there
may
be
some
other
way
to
do
this.
That
doesn't
you
know
involve
that,
because
otherwise,
you
are
inevitably
faced
with
the
notion
of
convenient
constitutional
talks,
which
a
lot
of
Canadians
would
say
wow.
You
know
we
just
wondered
if
you
thought
about
that.
Thank.
B
You
mara
Tori,
that's
a
very
good
question
and
yes,
I
have
thought
of
that.
So
to
begin
with,
certainly
I
think
you
and
I
both
recognize
that
there
isn't
a
great
appetite
amongst
Canadians
to
reopen
the
Constitution
I
think
Meech,
Lake
and
other
other
episodes
have
taught
us
that
it
can
be
messy
and
difficult
and
awful.
B
That
being
said,
though,
if
that
was
you
know
the
absolute
and
only
way
to
look
at
how
to
improve
the
roles
of
cities,
at
least
that's
something
that
should
we
shouldn't
be
obtuse
to
that
option,
at
least
it
should
be
considered
and
then
evaluate,
and
the
federal
government
can
evaluate
whether
or
not
it's
worth
going
down
that
path.
The
the
Vancouver
Charter,
for
example,
is
a
product
of
a
provincial
statute.
B
So
that's
why
I
very
deliberately
wrote
in
the
word
mechanism,
because
I
didn't
want
to
I
didn't
want
to
go
down
the
road
where
I'm
saying
you
know,
I
know
I
know
necessarily
that
one
path
is
going
to
be
easier
or
better
or
are
successful
than
the
other,
but
the
principle
and
and
III
know
that
you
and
I
agree
on
this
very
strongly.
The
principle
of
the
role
of
cities
and
the
role
of
local
elected
representatives
to
be
able
to
just
get
a
photo
radar
in
a
street
next
to
a
school
I
mean
come
on.
E
You
and
I
do
agree
very
strongly
on
that,
and
that
was
in
part
madam
Speaker,
through
you,
I,
would
say
to
you
and
I
think
you
know
this.
The
current
Prime
Minister
and
his
government
have
actually
been
very
good
at
trying
to
find
ways
in
which
they
can
deal
with
us
directly,
but
it's
been
very
difficult
and
they
they
they've
not
wanted
to
press
the
envelope
unduly
on
that.
E
So
even
when
we
wanted
to
get
recompense
for
the
refugees,
for
example,
we
had
to
sign
some
memorandum
and
do
this
and
do
that,
so
they
could
even
just
write
it
a
check,
but
did
you
also
consider
and
I
know?
This
may
seem
like
a
bizarre
request,
given
the
reason
why
we're
here
today
that
we
request
the
government
of
Ontario,
because
the
fact
is
that
one
of
the
things
that
could
be
done
and
I
recognize
that
it
would
seem
unlikely.
E
It's
gonna
happen
in
view
what's
going
on
today,
that
they
would
ever
agree
to
sort
of
take
a
second
look
at
the
City
of
Toronto.
I
can
say:
okay,
fine,
you
know,
we've
made
this
change
to
do
with
the
council,
over
our
objection
and
after
the
court
cases
and
using
the
notwithstanding
Clause,
but
going
forward.
They
would
agree
to
have
a
look
at
some
of
these
things
because
it
bypasses
this
business
of
the
federal
government
saying
in
response
to
your
request.
Well,
no,
it's
not
our
deal.
It's
the
provincial
deal.
E
Did
you
think
about
that
as
much
as
it
may
seem,
I
know
kind
of
unlikely
to
put
forward
a
proposal
to
the
province
right
now,
given
everything
that
would
say,
would
you
take
another
look
at
this
and
give
us
a
greater
degree
of
Independence
that
would
allow
us
to
do
some
of
these
kinds
of
things
to
build
our
own.
You
know
more
of
our
own
transit
and
raise
some
of
our
money
and
so
forth.
I
did.
B
Would
you
would
you
like
to
entrench
some
powers
in
our
body?
I,
think
that
would
be
fruitless
and
and
and
and
just
absurd
to
do
at
this
point.
So
so,
of
course,
not
I
I,
don't
intend
to
right
Doug
Ford
for
much
these
days,
other
than
to
demand
that
he
listened
to
the
people
of
Toronto.
That
being
said,
though,
I
do
believe
that
we
have
a
government
in
Ottawa
that
well
I
mean
listen.
They're
gonna
have
their
own
complications
and
considerations
and
challenges
to
deal
with.
B
They
do
believe
in
our
basic
democratic
values
and
they're
going
to
defend
them,
and
at
least
two
for
them
to
kind
of
provoke
the
conversation
they
are,
though
they
are.
They
are
best
suited
to
do
that,
because
if
it
does
go
down
the
constitutional
road
you
need,
you
need
seven
provinces
to
agree
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
they
would
be
the
ones
to
sort
of.
B
F
B
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
to
build
upon
the
mayor's
questions
because
I
had
similar
ones.
This
seems
to
be
about
bypassing
the
provincial
government
and
going
to
the
federal
government
for
autonomy
awarded
by
them.
Is
that
not
another
way
of
describing
the
succession
into
I?
Guess
the
province
of
Toronto?
No,
and
is
that
your
intent
to
begin
that
process?
Because
that's
what
it
looks
like
to
me
here?
No.
B
That's
not
something
that's
either
realistic
or
something
that
I
would
pursue.
Personally,
no
Toronto
is
the
capital
of
the
province
of
Ontario
and
proudly
so,
and
you
know,
I'm
actually
I
want
to
make
a
point
of
thanking
mayor
Parish
from
Ajax
and
others
across
the
province
who
have
stood
with
Toronto
during
this
incredibly
challenging
time
and
I'm
also
concerned
about
other
municipalities
who
might
be
subject
to
the
scorn
of
Doug
Ford.
If
he,
you
know,
chooses
another
enemy
tomorrow.
B
What
this
is
about
is
not
not
what
you
know
what
jurisdiction
were
in,
but
what
abilities
and
powers
does
the
City
of
Toronto
have
to
be
able
to
functionally
and
efficiently
serve
the
people
of
Toronto,
so
I?
You
know,
I
I,
hope
that
you,
you
you
you
actually
you
know,
rather
than
you
know,
perhaps
pick
up
from
rhetoric
actually
is
self.
It
describes
what
I
just
told
you
so.
G
Why
is
it
different
than
then
the
City
of
Toronto
act,
because
my
understanding
is
that's
the
mechanism
to
achieve
a
lot
of
these
things?
So
so?
Why
would
we
ask
the
federal
government
to
step
out
of
the
relationship
between
the
city
and
the
province
and
the
tools
like
the
City
of
Toronto
act
and
the
Municipal
Act
and
go
elsewhere
and
I?
Think
I
heard
it
was
a
constitutional
discussion
and
so
I'm.
F
H
B
Within
a
city
charter,
you
know,
according
to
the
National
League
of
Cities-
and
this
is
sort
of
you
know-
what's
common
in
cities
across
the
United
States
that
have
City
charters,
the
the
the
the
purview
over
municipal
elections,
municipal
governance
structure,
local
land
use
and
zoning
decisions,
local
financial
matters,
including
the
power
to
determine
revenue
sources,
set
tax
rates,
borrow
funds
and
allocate
monies
and
personnel
decisions,
are
entrenched.
Rights
of
the
municipalities,
so,
in
other
words,
there's
no
way
the
province
to
sort
of
just
dismiss
it
willy-nilly.
B
The
way
that
Doug
Ford
has
done
the
City
of
Toronto
act
is
a
piece
of
legislation
of
the
provincial
government
and
it's
a
piece
of
legislation
that,
as
you
can
see,
that
can
either
be
changed
or
ignored,
based
on
the
whims
of
in
all
Intendant
purposes,
one
individual
and
then
with
by
whipping
the
rest
of
his
car.
Okay,.
G
A
D
I,
just
what
I'd
like
clarified
is:
why
is
it
that
you
think
that,
in
trying
to
give
the
same
powers
to
other
cities
across
the
province,
we
should
go
to
the
federal
government
and
not
to
the
provincial
government?
We
did
have
an
opportunity
to
give
similar
powers
to
the
other
cities
in
the
province
when
the
province
gave
us
under
the
City
of
Toronto
act
the
power
to
set
up
local
appeal
bodies
for
committee
of
adjustments.
Why
did
we
not
at
that
particular
time
advocate
at
other
cities
across
the
province
should
have
similar
rights.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
questions
in
there.
I'll
try
to
break
it
down.
So
my
motion
is
not
about
Ontario
cities.
In
particular
it's
about
Canadian
cities
and
I.
When
I
wrote.
The
motion
I
was
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
I'm,
a
Toronto
city,
councillor
I'm
a
truant
onea,
so
I'm
advocating
for
the
city
of
toronto
in
toronto
in
particular,
uniquely,
is
being
targeted
and
abused
by
our
premier
right
now.
That's.
B
Is
my
opinion-
and
my
opinion
is
based
on
the
facts
that
we
all
know
before
us,
but
I'm
also
cognizant
that
cities
across
Canada
are
still
under
a
governance
model
that
in
itself
doesn't
empower
cities
to
be
the
best
they
can
be
and
do
the
most?
They
can.
So,
if
I'm
going
to
be
asking
the
federal
government
to
provide
an
incredibly
important
allowance,
I,
don't
think
it
should
be
singularly
for
the
city
of
Toronto.
It
should
be
the
ability
for
cities
in
Canada
to
have
charters,
and
then
they
can
have
their
own
local
discussions.
B
D
B
Know
there
are,
there
are
a
number
of
things
within
our
Canadian
government
that
are
very
unique
to
Canada,
and
there
are
certain
rules
and
and
conventions
that
that
that
we
respect
I
mean
we
have
a
queen,
for
example.
Who
could
probably
you
know
just
dissolve
our
government
if
she
chose
to
it's
not
gonna
happen,
because
that's
not
that's
not
what
we
expect.
We
expect
the
courts
to
have
a
critical
role
in
our
society
to
be,
and
then
there
and
then
their
rulings
to
be
respected
and
then
perhaps
appealed,
but
then
that
be
respected.
B
We
have
conventions
that
make
this
the
best
country,
in
my
view,
in
the
world,
to
live
in
that
predictability,
that
ships
that
surety
about
our
democracy,
provides
stability
and
good
quality
of
life,
and
when
somebody
like
Doug
for
just
throws
all
that
to
the
wind
and
just
destroys
all
those
expectations
that
we
have
of
a
democracy
like
ours,
we
need
to
provide
all
provinces,
all
cities,
the
ability
to
then
restructure
in
a
way
that
strengthens
their
ability
to
have
democracy
and
local
development.
Thank.
A
C
Madam
Speaker,
you
allowing
me
a
minute:
I
would
like
to
introduce
to
Council
the
International
Women's
Association
of
Toronto
they're
here
in
the
council
chamber
with
us
today,
60
members
from
many
different
backgrounds,
and
this
year
they
marked
their
30th
anniversary
and
wore
25
er
Kamala
Hannah
is
the
president.
So
if
the
council
would
join
me
in
welcoming
these
dynamic,
wonderful
women.
I
My
motion
is
that,
in
view
of
the
province,
determination
of
de
prop
to
deprive
Toronto
City
Council
and
its
councillors
of
any
meaningful
say
in
the
governing
of
the
city
that
members
were
elected
to
govern,
City
Council
resolved
to
tender
their
unanimous
resignation
of
its
members
effective
immediately.
Okay,.
B
C
C
A
I
Ahead,
I'd
still
like
to
speak.
Thank
you.
My
commitment
as
a
community
organizer
for
30
years
and
as
a
councillor,
has
always
put
the
concerns
of
neighborhoods.
First
concerns
about
safety,
the
availability
of
guns,
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
and
jobs,
and
when
a
six-alarm
fire
forced
residents
out
of
their
homes
at
six
fifty
Parliament
Street,
it
was
the
city
and
our
community
agencies
that
came
together
under
Meritor
ease
leadership
to
help
our
neighborhoods
helping
the
local
community
address.
Local
issues
is
why
the
council
exists.
I
I
That's
why
I
supported
meritorious
efforts
to
challenge
the
process
initiated
by
the
province?
I
stood
with
the
mayor,
then
I
stand
with
the
mayor
now
and
I'll
be
supporting
him
on
election
day
to
send
a
message
to
the
province
that
we
can't
treat
our
neighborhoods
in
our
city.
With
such
disdain,
the
premier
has
alleged
that
the
city's
resistance
is
led
by
a
small
group
of
downtown,
far
left
and
EP
councillors.
That's
not
true.
I
I
have
no
partisan
political
affiliations,
but
I
stand
with
the
mayor,
other
councillors
and
my
neighborhood
in
opposition
to
the
province
actions
madam
Speaker.
The
Ontario
government
wants
to
be
in
the
driver's
seat.
This
is
my
key
to
my
office,
and
this
is
my
pass
card.
Had
my
motion,
passed,
I
would
have
had
the
clerk
send
this
to
Queens
Park
then,
maybe
just
maybe
the
provincial
government
will
understand
that
our
neighbourhoods
support
local
democracy.
Thank
you.
J
You
very
much
madam
Speaker,
and
if
I
can
ask
the
clerk's
to
put
this
emotions
on
the
screen,
they
have
been
advanced
circulated.
The
first
motion
is
to
men.
Counselor
men
have
exposure
largely
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
cover
every
single
leave.
What
legal
option
before
us
and
have
the
city
respond
to
any
challenges
in
bill
five
and
bill
thirty-one.
If
we
are
named
as
a
party,
we
are
also
giving
instruction
to
the
city
solicitor
to
take
any
further
actions
necessary
consistent
with
all
those
steps
in
consultation
of
the
city
manager.
J
Take
the
following
actions
recognize
the
federal
significance
of
the
Canadian
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms,
including
that
of
free
and
fair
elections
without
interference,
recognize
the
supremacy
of
citizens
rights
over
legislative
convenience
outside
of
the
times
of
crisis
or
catastrophe.
Madam
Speaker,
this
is
a
very
unprecedented
and
difficult
time
in
the
city
and
I
would
say
largely
an
extension
into
the
province
of
Ontario.
We
are
making
international
headlines.
The
City
of
Toronto
has
actually
the
province
of
Ontario
has
just
been
named
by
the
Amnesty
International.
J
The
International
Human
Rights
organisation
that
oftentimes
criticizes
tin-pot
dictator
z--
go
into
war-torn
countries
trying
to
defend
people's
human
rights,
their
freedoms
when
they
call
out
those
governments
for
acts
of
treason.
And
yet
here
we
are
madam
speaker
right
here
in
Canada,
where
we
have
free
and
fair
elections
that
are
now
being
dramatically
compromised
to
the
point
that
their
clerks
are
saying.
They
are
not
sure
whether
or
not
they
hand-delivered
they
reached
that
tipping
point.
J
For
the
first
time
in
Canadian
history,
we
are
seeing
our
democracy
up,
ended
and
I.
Think
it's
important
that
I'm
speaker
that
we
recognize
it
for
what
it
is.
It
is
a
brazen
attack
on
the
residents
of
Toronto.
It
is
completely
unfiltered
its
uncensored.
Now,
where
is
democracy?
Where
is
this
house
of
democracy?
This
democracy
is
not
just
in
this
council
chamber
in
this
house
of
government,
but
democracy
takes
place
in
in
mechanic
shops
in
restaurants.
In
the
kitchens
in
the
factories
they
take
place
in
daycares
in
schools,
democracy
takes
place
everywhere.
J
Everything
we
do
in
Toronto
Ontario
in
Canada
is
because
we
live
in
a
free
and
fair
democratic
society,
and
we
have
a
premier
that
has
already
said.
I
will
use
the
notwithstanding
Clause
the
controversial
notwithstanding
Clause
on
this
occasion,
and
he
has
been
clear
that
he
is
going
to
use
it
again
if
he
doesn't
get
his
way,
so
damn
the
judicial
system,
damn
the
entire
judiciary,
because
he
rises
above
the
rule
of
law,
ma'am
Speaker.
We
have
to
respond
with
strength.
J
The
only
way
the
premier
is
going
to
be
held
to
account
is
if
we
actually
rise
with
the
same
type
of
democratic
power.
Even
if,
though,
we're
not
technically
going
to
war
we're
not
going
abroad,
but
everything
that
Canada
stands
for
right
now
is
under
threat
and
we
have
to
act
and
respond
as
if
it
is
a
declaration
of
war,
because
that
is
exactly
what
it
is.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
In
the
view
of
that
last
comment,
declaration
of
war
I'm
just
wondering
if
I
can
ask
the
following
questions
or
my
colleague
was
the
premier
of
this
province,
not
duly
elected
by
the
citizens,
and
does
he
have
not
the
right
to
use
everything
that
he
in
his
arsenal
in
order
to
bring
forth
to
his
agenda.
K
A
A
K
Motion
reads:
request
the
Prime
Minister
and
the
Government
of
Canada
committee
to
take
the
following
actions.
Why
are
we
requesting
this?
If
the
premier
was
duly
elected
by
the
majority
of
the
people
of
Ontario,
and
he
is
madam
Speaker
I
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
Mike
diamond
hold,
you
ask
you
you
cautioned
me
before
I
ask
of
you
please
to
caution
councillor
Davis
and
councillor
perks
because
they
don't
like
the
question.
K
I
haven't
finished,
I
have
not
finished,
was
he
not
duly
elected?
Doesn't
he
duly
have
the
right
to
exercise
what
he's
doing
today?
If
not,
please
advise
me:
where
do
you
see
that
he
doesn't
have
that
right
in
our
Constitution
and
in
the
legislature?
Advise
me
please
what
class
what
phrase,
what
Party.
J
Speaker,
the
premier
was
not
elected
to
infringe
on
their
charter
rights
of
the
citizens
of
Toronto.
Madam
Speaker,
the
premier
was
not
elected
to
violate
the
Human
Rights
Code,
as
bill
31
is
now
outlining
it
can
do.
Madam
Speaker,
the
premier
was
not
Allah
was
not
elected
to
up
and
the
democratic
process
of
Toronto.
There
was
nothing
in
his
campaign
platform.
That
said
any
of
those
things
and
madam
Speaker
I
really
think
that
if
we
actually
ask
ourselves,
why
is
the
premier
doing
this?
J
It
has
everything
to
do
the
fact
that
he
has
a
personal
vendetta
against
us,
the
City
of
Toronto,
and
he
wants
to
see
the
concentration
of
power.
Counselor
Troi
see
just
said
that
if
she
wants
to
resign
that
we
should
all
resign
and
what
did
the
clerk
say
earlier?
Is
that
if
counsel
resigned,
who
would
come
in
and
take
care
who
would
come
in
to
and
take
care
of,
the
business
of
Toronto
was
the
province.
K
F
Thank
you
I'll
start
with
a
motion
that,
in
the
event
that
a
stay
of
justice
bill,
Obama's
order
is
granted
by
the
Court
City
Council
requests
the
province
to
file
regulations
to
address
the
loss
of
candidates,
ability
to
file
nominations
with
the
city
clerk
between
September
10th
to
14,
2018,
so
I'm
going
to
really
speak
to
Doug
Ford's.
Here
what
is
premier
Ford?
F
The
other
is
Doug
hoots
that,
where
Michael
sitting
for
four
years
and
used
to
turn
around
and
and
chat
with
us
here
in
the
row
behind
him-
and
it
was
very
affable
guy-
we
always
looked
forward
to
him.
Turning
around.
He
had
great
stories
and
funny
stories,
and
but
first
premier
forward,
so
premier
forward
I
think
you've
established
you've
got
everybody's
attention.
You
have
established
that
the
premier
has
great
powers,
so
let's
not
take
it
too
far.
F
So
it's
gotten
crazy
I
think
it's
gotten
crazier,
then
premier
Ford
ever
intended
when
he
started
this
fight.
So
I
would
really
a
premier
appeal
to
premier
forward
to
like
kind
of
let's
call
this
off
I
think
I
think
there
will
be
lots
of
other
opportunities
to
get
back
of
the
City
of
Toronto
and
I'm
sure
you
will
avail
yourself
of
those.
F
He
once
said
to
me:
there's
no
secret
about
it.
Rob
and
I
were
brawlers
and
scrappers
and
they
went
on
to
tell
me
how
he
likes
a
good
fight
and
he
especially
enjoyed
fighting
with
that
Vaughn,
because
you
know
you
know
he'd
give
at
him
a
punch
and
Adam
would
give
him
a
punch
back
and
they'd
trade
punches,
and
this
was
this
was
great
fun,
so
that
Doug
I
know
wants.
He
wants
a
fight.
F
He
wants
to
win
the
fight,
but
he
also
wants
a
fair
fight,
and
that
goes
back
to
my
motion
because
there's
no
fun
in
winning
a
fight
that
the
other
side
can't
fight
back
and
if
we
are
fortunate
enough
enough
to
get
the
stay,
then
that
plunges
some
some
of
us
here
into
not
me,
but
some
of
us
into
situation
where
they
might
not
be
able
to
get
out
of
the
dressing
room.
So
to
speak
and
I.
F
A
M
You
speaker,
I,
do
have
a
motion,
and
the
motion
asks
for
counsel
to
amend.
Counsel
may
have
exposure
to
ask
that
we
forward
the
decision
today
to
all
municipalities
across
Ontario
to
seek
their
support
to
defend
the
municipal
governments,
autonomy
and
the
right
of
municipalities
to
govern
their
own
affairs
and
I
was
heartened
to
hear.
M
That
will
take
up
a
significant
portion
of
my
speaking
time
because
I
think
it's
very
important
for
people
to
understand
the
significance
of
both
the
decision
of
Judge,
Belle
Ababa
in
striking
down
bill
5
and
the
significance
of
premier
ford,
introducing
bill
31
and
the
use
of
the
notwithstanding
Clause.
There
are
many
people
who
have
commented
over
many
years
on
our
constitutional
structure
and
of
our
Bill
of
Rights
and
the
notwithstanding
Clause.
M
This
decision
said
very
clearly
that
the
rights
of
both
candidates
and
residents
in
the
City
of
Toronto
were
infringed
significantly
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note
that
it
was
primarily
because
of
the
method
that
was
used
to
introduce
this
in
the
middle
of
an
election
and
that
that
too
was
absolutely
unprecedented.
M
But
the
introduction
of
bill
31
is,
is
more
than
unprecedented.
It
has
been
nine
premiers
and
36
years
that
this
constitutional
override
has
not
been
used,
not
by
nine,
not
since
it
was
passed
and
been
in
existence
and
I
just
wanted
to
quote
barbara
billingsley,
who
is
a
professor
at
the
University
of
Alberta
and
well
renowned
expert
said
that
section:
33
is
a
sleeping
giant
within
the
Charter,
now,
mostly
quiet
and
unthreatening,
but
if
awakened
by
increased
and
unnoticed
or
unappreciated.
M
Landscape,
the
responsibility
for
controlling
section
33
future
role
in
the
Charter
lies
primarily
with
the
Canadian
public.
It
says
we
must
oppose.
We
cannot
leave
this
on
a
post,
and
that
is
why
this
chamber
has
been
filled.
That
is
why
our
Square
has
been
filled.
That
is
why
we
had
30,000
letters
signed
on
a
petition.
We
have
an
absolute
obligation
to
oppose
this
unprecedented
bludgeoning
of
our
rights,
both
as
residents
and
as
candidates,
and
so
I
will
be
supporting
all
of
the
motions
today
that
say
we
must
fight
it.
L
L
Too
often
we
talk
about
elected
governments
as
if
they
exist,
because
the
law
says
they
exist.
We
do
not
have
the
right
spontaneously
to
organize
ourselves
into
a
political
body
and
conduct
elections
and
manage
our
affairs.
That
line
of
thinking
says
you
only
have
those
rights,
because
some,
a
parliament
somewhere
decided
you
do.
The
City
of
Toronto
doesn't
exist
independently.
It's
a
creature
of
the
it's
an
absolute
falsehood.
L
The
City
of
Toronto
has
continuously
conducted
elections
since
1830
for
this.
If
what
we
heard
the
clerk
said
today
might
be
the
first
time
in
a
hundred
and
seventy
whatever.
It
is
four
years
that
that
unbroken
string
has
been
broken.
But
let's
talk
about
how
that
election
happened.
Did
that
election
happened
because
a
parliament
somewhere
said
you
know
what
the
City
of
Toronto
should
have
a
government?
No,
it
did
not.
L
It
happened
because
a
group
of
Torontonians
were
sick
of
being
ruled
by
an
appointed
Executive
Council
and
they
went
out
and
they
rioted
and
they
protested
and
they
marched.
In
fact,
the
very
first
strike
in
the
City
of
Toronto
was
the
building
trades
in
1833,
going
on
strike,
demanding
their
right
to
elect
a
government
to
manage
the
City
of
Toronto.
L
L
L
C
F
L
The
things
that
the
people
of
Toronto
have
one
is
the
right
for
councillor
Cara
Janice,
to
rise
on
a
point
of
order.
Thank
you
to
the
people
of
Toronto
for
allowing
him
the
right
to
say
that
and
me
the
right
to
speak
on
behalf
of
you
right
now.
We
are
here
as
your
voices
and
we
disagree.
We
disagree
a
lot
I
think
where
councillor
Cara
Janice
says
half
the
time
is
bananas,
but
nevertheless
it's
important.
K
L
Some
people
would
describe
what
you
just
saw
here,
as
dysfunction
they'd,
be
wrong.
They'd
be
wrong.
I've
been
in
a
dysfunctional
Toronto
City
Council
I've,
been
here
when
the
mayor
of
Toronto
and
his
brother
were
threatening
people
in
the
council
chambers
I've
been
here
when
they
body
slammed
a
member
of
council
to
the
floor.
I've
been
here
when
this
council
had
had
a
report
from
the
integrity
Commissioner
saying
that
they
had
used
this
government
to
enrich
a
client
of
their
business.
That's
dysfunction,
that's
not
a
City
of
Toronto
thing!
No!
L
What's
the
most
recent
dysfunctional
government
thing
you've
seen
it's
the
leader
of
the
Opposition
of
the
province
of
Ontario
being
dragged
out
its
senior
citizens
being
handcuffed
while
trying
to
observe
a
government
deliberating
on
whether
or
not
we
have
a
government
of
the
City
of
Toronto.
The
dysfunction
isn't
here.
The
dysfunction
follows
a
certain
individual
around
wherever
he
happens
to
be
elected,
the
dysfunction
is
Doug
Ford.
L
A
E
E
It
has
demonstrated
the
best
of
this
chamber
and
its
commitment
to
democracy
and
all
that
municipal
government
does
and
can
do
and
I
think
that
we've
got
some
motions
in
front
of
us
and
those
will
be
disposed
of
shortly,
but
I
think
in
some
of
the
ones
that
seem
likely
to
garner
widespread
support
where
we're
about
to
you
know,
send
a
very
clear
message
again
that
the
province
that
they
messed
the
process
the
province
has
engaged
itself
in
here
is
not
right.
It's
wrong.
It
is
not
right
in
principle.
E
It
is
not
right
when
it
comes
to
how
we
should
decide
the
matter
of
our
councils,
composition
and
when
I
say
we
I'm
prepared
to
accept
the
fact,
obviously
that
constitutional
jurisdiction
says
they
have
a
role
to
play
in
this,
given
the
the
exclusive
jurisdiction
of
the
province
to
deal
with
cities
and
towns.
But
we
should
have
been
collective
in
this
sense
and
that
there
should
have
been
a
process
that
involved
us
and,
quite
frankly,
there
still
could
be.
E
It
is
also
absolutely
not
right
as
a
precedent
here
or
for
anywhere
else
for
that
matter,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
you
see
the
mayors
of
the
big
cities
and
I
thank
them
for
the
fact
that
they
came
forward
this
morning
with
the
resolution
and
I'd
been
speaking
with
them
this
week
to
say
that
this
I
mean
I'm
summarizing,
obviously
five
or
six
paragraphs
into
one
sentence.
But
this
was
not
right.
E
This
was
not
what
this
constitutional
mechanism
was
intended
for,
and
it
wasn't
right
and
I
all
so
we'll
say
that
I'm
gratified
I
haven't
even
a
chance
to
read
it
yet,
but
that
24
of
the
25
I
think
there
are
24
out
of
25.
In
anyway,
24
Liberal
MPs
today
agreed
upon
a
resolution
that
they
put
forward
expressing
their
concern
about
this
as
well
from
their
caucus
meeting
of
West
and
I.
E
E
Looking
at
these
kinds
of
changes,
the
province
is
pushing
ahead
now,
including
the
extraordinary
and
unacceptable
remedy
or
measure
of
invoking
the
notwithstanding
Clause
overriding,
the
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms
for
the
first
time
in
the
history
of
the
province
of
Ontario
and
I
would
simply
say
this
and
I
think
it
really
sums
up
a
lot
of
what
has
been
said
here
today.
I
firmly
believe
you
don't
make
a
bad
law
better
by
overriding
the
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms.
There
might
be
a
lot
of
ways
to
make
a
bad
law
better.
E
One
of
them
is
not
by
overriding
the
Charter
of
Rights
and
Freedoms.
So
today,
madam
Speaker,
we
will,
as
a
council
I
believe,
register
our
objection
to
that
and
renew
our
instructions
to
our
lawyers
to
continue
to
pursue
available
options
to
challenge
this
course
of
action.
We
will
never
stop
standing
up
for
the
City
of
Toronto.
One
might
argue
that
is
a
fundamental
part
of
our
job.
Here
we
would
be
seen
as
not
doing
our
jobs
if
we
didn't
stand
up
for
the
people
of
Toronto.
E
Think
I've
had
lots
of
encouragement
given
to
me
and
I'm
sure
my
colleagues
have
have
received
the
same
and
I
want
to
thank
a
prime
minister,
trudeau
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor's
from
one
end
of
this
country
to
the
other.
I
want
to
thank
the
MPS
havin
a
chance
to
fully
read
their
statement
yet,
but
I
gather
it
is
meant
to
be
supportive
of
some
of
the
concerns
that
we
have,
because
I
think
that
they
have
indicated.
E
This
is
a
concern
that
goes
beyond
what
might
seem
to
some
people
to
be
a
fairly
narrow
issue,
the
size
of
the
City
Council
of
Toronto,
and
it
goes
well
beyond
that
to
really,
as
I
said
this
morning,
potentially
much
bigger
issues
affecting
not
just
Toronto.
But
many
other
places
and
many
other
people
in
Canada,
regardless
of
what
size
of
a
council,
we
have
I
think
when
the
dust
settles
from
this
debate.
E
I
know
that
the
councillors
that
are
sent
to
this
chamber
will
be
committed
to
representing
the
people
of
Toronto
and
just
as
relentless
when
it
comes
to
defending
the
rights
of
the
city
of
the
people
of
Toronto,
because
again
that's
in
our
hearts,
but
it's
also
in
our
job
description.
There
are
real
issues.
People
want
us
to
deal
with
them.
E
E
Think
we've
made
tremendous
progress
this
term
far
from
being
dysfunctional,
as
were
described,
on
getting
transit,
building,
getting
underway
with
a
transit
plan
and
approving
a
transit
plan
and
getting
funding
for
that
transit
plan
and
starting
to
make
some
strides
forward
with
much
more
to
be
done
on
housing,
but
again,
I
think
we
have
made
some
strides
forward
in
that
regard
and
I
think
that
people
will
end
up
putting
a
majority
of
councillors
here,
regardless
of
what
number
of
councillors
it
is
in
the
end
that
are
committed
to
continuing
to
do.
Just
that.
E
You
know
I'll
finish
by
this
mounted
speaker.
Toronto
is
a
great
city.
It
always
has
been.
It
always
will
be
it's
greater
now
than
ever,
it
is
greater.
Now
than
ever,
people
are
looking
around
the
world
and
coming
here
I,
you
know
just
if
you
look
at
the
things
that
are
going
on
the
people
that
are
investing
the
smart
people
that
are
coming
here.
We
live
together
in
a
way
that
is
the
envy
of
other
cities
around
the
world
and
I'm
confident.
E
H
A
G
A
C
A
A
A
F
A
A
A
A
L
L
N
Wasn't
planning
to
speak
because
I'm
not
good
at
this?
It
has
been
an
amazing
eight
years
and,
as
God
said,
when
I
ran
I
put
my
name
forward
in
2010
I.
Did
it
because
I
wanted
to
have
City,
Council
and
City
Hall
behind
my
residence
to
get
things
done,
I
wanted
to
run
as
councillor
Matt
low
knows,
because
I
wanted
our
school
boards
to
work
better
with
a
city.
N
We've
done
that
by
doing
this,
the
city
school
advisory
board,
I
staff
are
working
together
and
that's
brilliant
I
use
the
word
brilliant
I
know
I
do
thank
you.
I
have
represented
one
of
the
most
amazing
wards
in
this
city.
I
will
say:
I
have
been
overwhelmed
with
Facebook
posts
and
Twitter
posts.
Since
I
announced
yesterday.
It's
my
decision
not
to
run
for
25
I've
already.
Let
counts
the
perks.
No,
but
if
I
was
running,
I'd
probably
beat
him.
N
So
that's
not
the
issue.
I
am
not
running
because
it's
the
right
decision
for
me
at
this
point
in
time.
In
my
life,
you're
not
gonna,
see
the
last
of
me
before
I
was
a
counselor.
I
was
on
the
other
side
of
a
table.
Doing
deputations
and
arguing
I'll
tell
you
a
very
quick
story.
When
city
tried
to
close
down
swansea
swimming
pool
in
2002,
whoever
sat
on
parks
and
Parks
board,
whatever
it
was
at
that
point,
was
my
city
councilors
David,
Mello
and
Chris
Cohen
Kosinski
I
came
in
to
that
parks.
N
My
mother
taught
me
my
mother
was
a
politician.
She
taught
me
to
be
nice
to
people
you
get
more
with
honey
than
you
do
with
vinegar,
but
when
you
believe
in
something
you
don't
take,
no
for
an
answer
and
you
keep
being
persistent
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all.
It
has
been
amazing.
We've
had
our
ups
and
downs.
We
are
definitely
not
dysfunctional.
I
opted
to
run
for
municipal
government
because
I
don't
have
a
party
telling
me
what
to
do.
N
C
N
I
will
be
available
for
lunch.
I
will
be
available
to
go
and
do
some
of
the
things
I've
put
off
for
eight
years,
but
going
back
to
doing
Pilates
and
playing
tennis,
but
I'm
not
giving
up
on
my
ward.
I
am
still
staying
with
the
Friends
of
High
Park
Zoo
and
if
I
only
wants
to
come
to
the
gala
on
Thursday,
remember
remember
when
we
were
here
voting
to
shut
the
zoo,
it
is
celebrating
a
hundred
25th
anniversary,
because
this
chamber
saved
the
zoo
with
my
community.
We
all
know
it's
not
just
us.
N
It's
a
team
effort.
I
have
the
most
brilliant
staff.
Who've
worked
with
me
over
the
last
eight
years.
Two
of
them
have
stuck
with
me
for
eight
years
and
I
couldn't
do
what
I
do
without
them
and
I
think
all
of
us
counselors
are
the
same.
It's
our
staff,
which
make
us
look
good,
but
it
is
city
councilors
who
sit
on
the
boards
who
stand
up
and
speak
to
represent
our
residents.
It's
City
counselors,
who
put
amazing
motions
forward
to
request
or
hopefully
demand
other
governments
do
things
our
staff
and
city
staff
can't
do
that.
N
That
is
why
I
strongly
strongly
oppose
25
councilors,
because
you
guys
are
going
to
be
in
board
meetings
and
board
meetings.
I
already
spent
all
weekend
reading
agendas,
because
I
don't
have
time
Monday
to
Friday
I.
Thank
you
for
doing
your
jobs.
I
will
be
back
in
this
chamber
sitting
with
these
wonderful
people
and
heckling
you
from
back
there
rather
than
in
here.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
wish
everyone
all
the
best,
but
follow
your
hearts.
N
Do
what
you
want
and
when
you
don't
think
this
is
job
is
right
for
you
or
you
don't
think
you
are
doing
the
job
because
you're
tired
step
down,
there's
other
wonderful
willing
people
out
there.
A
lot
of
our
youth
are
wanting
to
run
so
respect
that
as
well.
You
don't
need
to
be
HIPAA.
50-Years
enjoy
run
good,
clean
campaigns,
don't
fight
each
other.
You've
been
put
in
very
difficult
positions.
You
are
all
good
counselors.
You
all
have
your
strong
points,
so
don't
bicker
about
each
other.
