What people are struggling to realize is that the change they are looking for is with our Premier, not our mayor.
Olivia’s struggles are largely caused by Doug Ford’s meddling in Toronto politics.
This is hugely problematic.
A Liberal MP was removed by PM Carney’s office from his position as parliamentary secretary to the minister of veterans affairs bc he supported an bill that sought to close loopholes that allow Canada to send weapons to Israel:

Jaffna Police forcibly remove Thiyagi Thileepan’s statue
The statue of Thiyagi Thileepan was forcibly removed from the Thileepan Memorial Square in Nallur, Jaffna, by Jaffna Police early this morning.
The incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed at the memorial site by the Thileepan Commemoration Committee.
The removal took place in the early hours of September 27, just one day after the conclusion of this year’s Thileepan commemorations at the memorial site.
The reasons and legal basis for the police removal have not yet been publicly confirmed.

why do these people always assume eelam diaspora have never visited, don't speak to anybody back home, have zero ties and don't follow any news sources which are based in the island? it's so bizarre and delusional
@PJforTO Yes!! I think it was in 2024 or 2025, I can’t remember exactly but there was a city employee at each table and we had to rate which things we thought were highest priority
Not to mention, when I've participated in public budget consultations during Olivia Chow's mayoralty, increasing the police budget is, to put it kindly, not a priority to a lot of Torontonians.
Scarborough is a highly racialized population, moreso than the rest of the city. I wish people would check their positionality before deciding that people in Scarborough need to pay/do/suffer more.
people actually getting more mad at Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, member of the Eelam Tamil diaspora, for playing an Eelam Tamil diaspora character than they are at the Sri Lankan government for committing genocide
