Clowns, Fear & Division

None of my neighbors appreciate manipulative jokers from Alberta or Quebec fueling fear and division in Toronto.

The clowns see our fear and division as their “wedge” opportunity.

• First we had Jason Kenney using Chris Alexander to pit “old stock ‘against those not born here.

• Now we have Justin Trudeau using Ahmed Hussen to pit immigrants against refugees.

Toronto reacted by giving the boot to Kenney & Co. The same will happen with Trudeau & Co.

What outsiders don’t realize is that Toronto runs on three principles: Make money, take care of your family and respect your neighbor.

Every Toronto business, family and neighborhood is a blend of old stock, new folks, immigrants and refugees. If you want to make money, maintain family peace and live well with your neighbor then there is no room in Toronto for tribal fear and division.  

Clowns create friction. Friction does not encourage money, family peace or tranquil neighborhoods. Torontonians simply have no time or stomach for inflammatory immigration-refugee lectures from outsiders … be they “Pure Laine” aristocrats from Quebec or drive by bigots from Alberta.  

In Toronto, we are practical people. We do not waste time on pagliacci who threaten business, family and neighborhood. This is why the GTA has at least 500,000 undocumented folks. They stay. They are part of business, family and neighborhood.  

As for the pagliacci from Alberta and Quebec … arrivederci.
