JOE WARMINGTON
My favourite Canadian newspaper Columnist at the Toronto Sun supported all my gun violence activism while I was in Canada. He still wants me back in Canada and tweeted earlier this year that since I left, 100 people have been slain including a newborn. Truth be told, Toronto's gun violence skyrocketed this 2016.
Joe Warmington's column also exposed us to some hidden truths about the Ontario health system (OHIP) thru the story of Mayor Hector MacMillan of Trent Hills, Ontario. A small town mayor had to travel to Germany to get pancreatic cancer surgery. The hashtag #PancreaticLivesMatter trended on social media. Warmington cares about society's ills and exposes them promptly.
I remember his article on the Blue Wall of Justice on the Eric Osawe case, the Nigerian man gunned down by a Toronto police officer who got special treatment. Warmington continues to be one of my fave people in society and I believe we will meet again. Thank u for the memories Joe. Twitter keeps us all together--KOO
