This is tonight! 6-9 PM EST.

The Jamaican Canadian Association is holding a debate on the Black Community in Ontario.

Doug Ford will not be participating, but every other party leader will be: Andrea Horwath (NDP), Kathleen Wynne (Liberal) and Mike Schreiner (Greens).

Live stream it here:

It’s not merely that Doug Ford will not be participating, but that he explicitly declined to participate, citing his many black friends his 3-year-running tradition to bring a few dozen black kids to his private cottage as somehow proof of his support for and from the black community of Ontario.  Which obviously means he doesn’t need to attend some silly debate addressing their concerns for the province.  It has nothing at all to do with not wanting to embarrass himself by contrast to his opponents.

THIS.

Also the debate should now be live. Stream at the link above.

Does ‘black’ mean something different in Canada…?
