About City Councilor Michael Thomson
Clyde Mc Neil
Like Mike Harris who pandered to that part of the society who reacted when he pushed certain hot buttons, City Councilor Michael Thompson wants to make a name for himself, by pushing the hot button of murders in the black community.
Racial
profiling as suggested by Michael Thompson is illegal.
He is advocating that the police break the law and for this he should
not be in office, Municipally, Provincially or Federally. Come election time I
hope electors remember this...

TORONTO: I had the opportunity of visiting the United States several times since 1999 and each time I was welcomed and respected. The smile was always there on their faces. May be I was one of the very fortunate ones but this is what I experienced. This does not mean that people don’t face tough times at the border. Yes, they do but it is all mostly due to security checks and not discrimination or racism. The Americans are wonderful and one of the best people in the world...
