@JohnTory you have let the citizens of Toronto down by opposing the 10% defunding of police initiative, and BIPOC citizens in particular. You are clearly and unambiguously aligning yourself with white supremacy. Shame on you. Shame!

Happy International Women’s Day to the wonderful women in my life: the movers and shakers, the leaders and supporters, the inventors and intellectuals, the nurturers and critics, the philosophers and dreamers. You continue to inspire me to become the best woman I can be. Xx
