Councillor Lisa Robinson tried to equate the swastika with the anti-racism Black power raised fist, calling it a “symbol of hate” common to “Communist and Marxist ideologies.”

Just having the debate was what she wanted. Now she gets to grift on "freeze peaaaach!" and how she's so persecuted, plus the lie about BLM == Marxism gets more oxygen.

This is the most wild deranged centrist take I've heard in a while. Like sure the Nazis have their hateful symbols but so do the other sides, and in that way they are totally equivalent.

That’s not a centrist take

She’s a nazi, she frequently appears as a guest on a neo-nazi podcast.

Her followers kept sending in threats so they had to move council to online only for safety

Then her followers called in with a bunch of nazi imagery on their camera that prompted this ban proposal

A symbol of equality is similar to a symbol of genocide? I love American conservatives

Edit : sorry to everyone I started to use American for the continent and US-Americans for the shithole but forgot that it is not wide in use. Sorry to everyone all Canadians I angered, squared screws rock

Last I heard she was braying about Muslims existing, Pride flags... then there was an op ed about being oppressed by Black History month. Got away with I'm sorry if people felt bad and some docked pay.

A few months later and here we be: council's been harassed out of their meeting space, and all their time is spent managing her sick nazi Both Sides games instead of, for example, hearing from residents about the urban boundary expansion proposed in northeast Pickering.

And she's got frigging cue cards ready for when you have to mute her.
