I am really getting very aggravated of all the personal attacks Olivia Chow
is taking due to her ethno-cultural background and immigration to
Canada (implying she is less Canadian). Toronto, smarten up. We are a
city made of eclectic cultural fibers, we are a city of diversity and
refuge for those who seek a better life. My parents were expelled from
Uganda by Idi Amin and came to Canada for a new beginning. Toronto needs
a new beginning with a Mayor who understands our struggles
and identities and is willing to be a voice for all people. I am fed-up
of Toronto politics being dominated by homophobic, greedy, privileged
white men who may know how to speak politics and policy, but know
NOTHING about what matters to the broader public. Her campaign may not
be perfect, but I am willing to support a change that empowers a
brighter and more sustainable city for all of us, not some of us.

Olivia Chow is Toronto's ONLY CHOICE for Mayor

it's time for somebody who understands struggles, who understands what it is to be different and not just in Toronto, in Canada ...We need change...
