Farkas sought the legal advice of the Honourable John Major, C.C., Q.C., a retired Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He concluded on May 10th that Farkas did not violate the code of conduct and that City Council had no grounds for expulsion because of political expression, counteracting the report by the current integrity commissioner and former justice Sal Lovecchio, who cites Farkas was inaccurate. “As an elected city councillor, you have a primary duty to your ward but also a general duty to the whole of the city and its citizens, says Major.
MacKay: I believe that meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous people needs to go beyond just words. We should be seeking partnerships with Indigenous people on new projects, especially those that have been approved by democratically elected Indigenous leaders. I am proud to have been part of a government that made significant progress settling large numbers of land claims, improved property rights for First Nation’s women, and improved overall transparency and accountability for the betterment of on-reserve First Nations.
China’s favourability has been declining for a few years now, with it being at 48% in 2017, 38% in 2018, 29% in 2019, and now only 14% in 2020, which represents the largest decline in China’s approval in a single year in Canada.

“I believe it waited too long to declare a global pandemic and relied too heavily on evidence from some countries over others,” says Jeneroux. “The WHO needs to look at all jurisdictions when collecting data. Its ignorance of Taiwan raises questions about its authority to give public health guidance.”
Blocking energy projects and boycotting the fur industry is a mere extension of their attitudes once relayed in the Indian Act that the federal government knows what’s best, from protecting one’s culture, their property, or ensuring the prosperity of one’s people. Often, they leave us sorely disappointed, from siding with eco-colonizers to sharing condescending views of the First People’s – that is the antithesis of reconciliation.
