MPP Tabuns hosts meeting on seniors’ issues Toronto-Danforth MPP Peter Tabuns invites the community to attend a public meeting on long-term care services Wednesday, April 13.

The meeting runs from 6:30

to 8:30 p.m. at the WoodGreen Health and Wellness Centre, 721 Broadview Ave., Lower Level, south of Danforth Avenue.

Judith Wahl, the executive director of the Advocacy Centre

for the Elderly, will serve as the evening’s guest speaker.

Some of the topics of discussion include power of attorney for personal care, continuing power of attorney for property

and information about making wills.

Please call Tabuns’ office at 416-461-0223 for more information on next Wednesday’s meeting.

A group of parents from Toronto’s east end are prepared to take their fight to establish an equivalent French-language secondary school in the community all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

In September, the Coalition de parents pour une école secondaire de quartier, PESQ for short, retained the services of lawyer Nicolas Rouleau.

Just under a year ago, Rouleau won a case in the Supreme Court of Canada that determined British Colombia’s government violated student constitutional rights to an equitable education as their school, Rose-des-Vents in Vancouver, was not equal to English-language schools in that area.

French-speaking parents from east Toronto are hopeful Rouleau can make the same case once again for them.

Leslieville resident Lianne Doucet, a mother of three daughters, is one of the parents fighting for equitable Frenchlanguage education in the city’s east end.

Doucet, who has lived near Jones Avenue and Queen Street for 23 years, has had a frustrating time trying to figure out how to keep her girls in Frenchlanguage secondary school. >>>PARENTS, page 9

Coal Mine Theatre brings Texas trailer park to the Danforth JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com Accomplished theatre and film actor Paul Fauteux plays a man involved in a very sticky situation in the Toronto premiere of Killer Joe. Fauteux, who has lived near Gerrard and Main streets for 10 years, performs in the five-member ensemble production.

“It’s a very dark comedy about a family that lives in Texas, somewhere. They’re poor, uneducated with a very narrow world view and their choices are from that perspective,” Fauteux said during a recent

SELF STORAGE SPECIAL

interview.

“The characters are all great.

They’re all really complex.”

The not-so-wise choices of the cast members lead to some humorous moments in the show, he added.

Set in a trailer park, Killer Joe is the story of a man who hires a hitman named Killer Joe Cooper to assassinate his alcoholic mother to collect life insurance money. Killer Joe is a cop by day and an assassin by night.

“Things get very complicated,” Fauteux said of Killer Joe, which is Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning

writer/actor Tracy Letts’ first play.

“It’s a great plot and a great script.

It gets into some very dark territory.”

Somehow Chris Smith convinces his not-so-bright father, played by Fauteux, that killing his son’s mother is a good idea.

“He’s got a very narrow perspective on things,” Fauteux said of his character. “His solutions to problems are very simplistic.”

Killer Joe, which also has some touching moments, runs from April 5 to 24 at the Coal Mine Theatre, 1454 Danforth Ave., just west of Coxwell Avenue.

FIRST 3 RENTS 50% OFF

Tickets cost $35 and can be purchased by visiting www.coalminetheatre.com/tickets.

Originally from the Montreal area, Fauteux said he got his love of storytelling from his parents who both had an interest in literature.

When he was 12 years old, Fauteux’s family moved to Victoria, B.C., where he started taking drama classes and performing in plays at his school’s drama club.

Fauteux studied theatre at the University of Victoria before going on to attend the National Theatre School graduating from the conservatory program in 1997.

After graduation, Fauteux landed in Toronto, got an agent and the ball started rolling from there.

While Fauteux said theatre is his “original passion”, he said he also enjoys doing film and TV roles as well as voice work.

He also does some standardized patient, where an actor works at a medical school and gets paid to be a “patient”.

Most recently, the Dora Awardnominated and Actra Award-winning actor completed working on the historic fiction TV series Frontier, which was shot in Newfoundland and is set to be released in the fall.

Rob Ford’s seat must be filled through byelection

Write us

W

hen it comes to how the Toronto council seat belonging to the late Rob Ford will be filled, there should be no debate. Obviously, the city must call a byelection for Ward 2 Etobicoke North.

Ford, the former mayor between 2010 and 2014 and before that Etobicoke North councillor from 2000 to 2010 and then again from 2014 until his death last month after a battle with cancer, would have wanted it that way.

The man believed in the power of the people and the voice of the voter as being supreme.

To do anything but call a byelection, would be a serious error on the part of Toronto council.

The first step for councillors our view will be to declare Ford’s Ward 2 seat vacant, and that is expected Ford would to happen at the May 3 meeting.

That’s a legal requirement have wanted under the City of Toronto Act: that the seat be declared vacant it that way within two council meetings of a councillor’s death, resignation or other reason why it can no longer be filled by the previously elected councillor. Since there’s already been a council meeting, late last week after Ford’s funeral took place March 30, next month’s council meeting is when his seat must be declared vacant.

At the May 3 meeting, councillors can consider one of two options as to what they can do to fill the seat – either they call a byelection or they appoint someone to be a ‘caretaker’ councillor for the ward until the next municipal election in 2018.

The City of Toronto Act gives councillors a lot of leeway as they are actually only required to appoint if it is fewer than 90 days prior to the next municipal election.

There is no maximum amount of time left in a term that requires a byelection over an appointment.

The decision is at council’s discretion.

Given that there are more than two years left on this term, it seems clear councillors should decide to call a byelection. It’s the right thing to do.

Once called, the byelection must be held within 60 days of the seat being declared vacant. We look forward to a vote for the Ward 2 Etobicoke North council seat taking place in late June or early July.

That’s what’s best for democracy, the people of Etobicoke North, and Toronto council as a whole. newsroom ph:

column

Will councillors go for a ranked ballot system?

You don’t want to make judgements on character based on a single vote or action. We humans are more complex creatures than just one vote and we do things for all sorts of complicated reasons.

But it’s hard to not draw some pretty firm conclusions about the character or at least motive of councillors who don’t support ranked ballot voting in Toronto.

The system, not currently in use anywhere in Canada but applied in countries throughout the world, allows voters to rank their choices on a ballot. If their first choice candidate fails to get more than half the votes, their second choice is counted instead. This goes on until some candidate or another gets half of the total first, second, third and quite possibly 15th-place votes.

The point is that only candidates who can appeal to half the voters in their jurisdiction get to be councillors.

In the last term of council, a majority of councillors

david nickle the city voted to ask the provincial government to give Toronto the option to use ranked ballots rather than the firstpast-the-post system currently in place.

Then a couple of things happened. The first was the 2014 election. In total, 29 councillors were elected with more than 50 per cent of the vote, and 11 of these 29 were elected with less than 60 per cent of the vote.

Mayor John Tory had just 40.3 per cent of the popular vote.

The second was a latenight vote in 2015, when Ward 5 Councillor Justin Di Ciano, elected for the first time in 2014 with 54.1 per cent, put forward a motion to tell the province council didn’t mean what it said and was very happy with firstpast-the-post system.

If the province puts the ranked ballot system

in place, his motion said, Toronto should be able to opt out or require a referendum to impose it. And that won, 25-18.

But the province didn’t listen, and this week announced that despite Toronto’s second thoughts, a municipality can select its representatives using ranked ballots if council agrees. No need for a referendum; just a vote of council.

And we’ll see how that goes when this inevitably comes before council again.

I’m not optimistic it will go any better. A council chamber populated only by very popular councillors would not be the same one we have today. It’s not to say that the 14 councillors and one mayor who couldn’t get 50 per cent plus one on the first ballot would all be gone; they might well have made it up in second- and third-place choices.

But some, like vote-poor Ward 16 Eglinton-Lawrence Christin Carmichael Greb

would have had a real challenge parlaying her 17.4 per cent of the vote into a majority.

But broadening her base of appeal, she might have.

Who could say? From a campaign strategist’s point of view, particularly one working for an incumbent, that uncertainty makes for a real problem. Simply feeding one’s political base doesn’t ensure a lifetime in municipal politics under a ranked ballot system.

In fact, what it does do is ensure that catering to one vocal minority in a ward will pretty much guarantee defeat at the polls, because that leaves one a first choice of that minority, and a second choice for no one.

For politicians worried about their careers, that’s terrifying. For voters and taxpayers, that’s empowering. It’s a ray of hope.

Parents will consider legal action in push for French high school >>>from page 1 “When it comes to education there’s proximity to home and language of choice,” she said.

“I wanted a close French-language school. The issue isn’t Catholic or public.”

Doucet, who has been involved with PESQ for the last three years,

said there’s a significant number of French-speaking families in the city’s east end but the options for French-language education, especially secondary, are “awful.”

“The kids keep dropping out once they hit Grade 9,” she said, adding that in 2007 the provincial government announced funding for

a French high school in Toronto’s east end but there hasn’t been any movement on that since.

The PESQ has provided the French public school board for central-southwestern Ontario, Conseil scolaire Viamonde, with a list of requirements including a gym, green space, cafeteria, and

The creamy white sauce was a layover from Kailey’s mother’s days as a vegan and a throwback to the Italy her mom had left behind when she was seven. But over time, the creamy cashew concoction became a pet project for both Kailey and her mother. “She and I had always been obsessed with cooking together, that was how we bonded and spent all our time,” says Kailey.

Mom’s Secret Recipe Earns Vegan Entrepreneur Fans Amongst Toronto Carnivores As Well No matter the occasion, a holiday or visit during spring break, Kailey Gilchrist knew that when she made that drive from university in Toronto back home to Barrie, she’d be greeted by a familiar smell – that secret family recipe, her mom’s cashew sauce. “She had been making this cashew sauce for years,” she says.

So when the theatre major went vegan, her mom followed suit and they took to evolving the cashew sauce into a vegan alfredo. It was a work in progress when her mother died. “I was finishing up my degree and cooking like crazy to deal with the grief,” she says. The rest of her time was devoted to working her job demoing products at a health food store. “And my sister was like ‘hey, you should sell some of the stuff that you’re making.’ ”

music room, to name a few.

“We would like to have a school that is equivalent. We’re not asking for the moon. We’re just asking for an equivalent French school in the area for our kids,” she said.

Doucet said if the parent group doesn’t hear back from the Ministry of Education they’ll likely roll out a

Shopping to Your Heart’s Content

It was an a-ha moment for Kailey. The entrepreneurial theatre major set out perfecting the sauce and launched NONA Vegan Foods, expanding to include two more vegan sauces – carbonara-style and cheesy-style. She’s grown from local, independent shops to over 50 stores including Loblaws and Whole Foods throughout Ontario especially the Greater Toronto Area.

To help launch her business, Kailey took advantage of groups like Enterprise Toronto and Futurepreneur, which Kailey received both a loan and mentorship from.“I’m blown away with how many resources there are in Toronto – all these little hubs and networking events and the little communities that just want to support small businesses,” she says.

Toronto’s community clean-up days welcome participants

W

ell it was a bit discouraging to see snow fall this week, and still have to wear a winter coat to keep the chill out.

There have been some previous Aprils where the crocuses had been beginning to bloom at this time, but it looks like we still have a few more weeks to wait.

Still, the robins are back, which is a definite harbinger of spring, even if they do look more than a bit discouraged with the continuing cold temperatures.

While we wait for the

joe cooper watchdog weather to become more spring-like, there are two days happening in two weeks that you should definitely mark on your calendar.

These are the annual community clean-up days and can take place in any public space in your neighbourhood.

These will take place over the weekend of Saturday, April 23 and Sunday, April 24.

Everyone in Toronto is asked to take part in this event, either individually, as a family or a group.

The idea is to make the big job of keeping your community clean more manageable by breaking it up into smaller tasks, so it really won’t be a burden.

More importantly it is always good to have people work together to help keep that all important sense of community alive.

Individuals do not have to register for this event, and can simply add the garbage they collect to their regular garbage pick-

up (though remember that regular bag limits still apply).

Group registration Large groups or organizations are asked to register with the city by registering on-line at www.toronto.ca When you register as a large group, the city will ask for the number of people who will be participating and then work out with you where to place the garbage bags for special up.

If people are not picking up large amounts of garbage, they are encouraged to include it with their regular garbage pick-up.

Don’t forget to not include hazardous waste or inappropriate personal garbage by using regular garbage bags and to dispose of those items at the appropriate city waste sites.

This year the bags and gloves will be distributed at participating Pizza Pizza locations, as well as through local civic and community centres, in order to make participation easier.

You are asked to indicate where you plan to do your clean up so that a special litter pick-up can be arranged.

It is asked that you finish your clean up by 2 p.m. in order to help ensure that all

garbage is picked up.

If you wish more information, please contact Sanjay Cishecki at scishec@ toronto.ca or call 416-3929744.

Don’t forget that community environment days will be taking place throughout the next six months, and if you have missed a local event you are still welcome to attend those in other wards.

It’s our city, so please take care of it.
