On Friday, I had an official in-person meeting with my city councillor, Lily Cheng.
First time ever meeting with a politician to share my view point about something. There’s a first to everything.
Did I talk about parking? Housing policies? Bike lanes?
No.. we talked about Israel. Or more precisely, her decision to attend the “Walk for Israel” in June.

Lily Cheng claims in her newsletter that standing next to the Israel flag and wearing a shirt that says she walks with Israel does not mean she gets involved with geopolitics. She claims she gets to build bridges with all communities..
Always plays the coward, tries to pretend it has nothing to do with anything.
Of course would never be seen with a Palestinian flag on her shirt on at any Palestinian protest.

Lily Cheng with Bradford at the "Walk with Israel" rally this weekend
Lily Cheng often claims in her newsletter that "conflict in the middle east" has nothing to do with what's happening here, and that she does not take positions on the "conflict".
Meanwhile, she wears a shirt in support of Israel during an ongoing genocide

Lily Cheng attending pro-Israel lobby conference of CJPAC
Curious to see which councillors will « walk with Israel » this Saturday while the country keeps their bombing and invasion of Lebanon

Lily Cheng is super mad that her motion to bring parking lots to subway stations failed.
She says Toronto lacks vision. Her "vision" is inspired from Taiwan, Japan, and she's disappointed Toronto doesn't want to follow her parking lots vision.

Thank you for the blog post.
My problem with Lily Cheng associating her name with this event is that she has done absolutely nothing to improve things and add safe bike paths on this ride.

Lily Cheng in #Willowdale is again advocating against new housing next to a subway station
According to her, adding 2000 new residents to the neighborhood would be a risk to lose the Costco (???). As if adding new people to the neighborhood would make Costco leave.
Yes some "essential local retail shops" (aka Starbucks) would leave... But there's no shortage in that area, it's beyond ridiculous.

On the positive side we don’t have a lot of moments to meet progressive voices and local orgs within our own North York neighborhood. So those type of gathering are a good way to meet local folks that are involved, without having to join a group downtown
And seeing that the room was packed, it does remind the councillor we aren’t just the car centric citizens she read on her Facebook and that forgetting about us would mean a lot of engaged citizens against her

At the #Willowdale Climate Action roundtable organized by my local Toronto city councillor Lily Cheng
I’m torned on those events. I wonder how much of it is just to give good conscience to the councillor.
While she keeps voting against more dense neighborhoods and in favor of pro-parking policies

As much as Quebec goes too far with laïcité, especially around dictating what you can wear and prayers in public space.
The other side with Ontario can also be absolutely bonkers.
My city councillor spreading her Christian faith in her newsletter and organizing a praying group within city hall, it’s absolutely not the place

#Willowdale tell your councillor Lily Cheng what you think of small retail stores in your neighborhood

Lily Cheng, NIMBY councillor of #Willowdale in Toronto went to South Korea.
What did she learn? She learned about sleek parking infrastructure. In South Korea! Speak about missing the forest for the trees
Also Toronto transit isn't randomly underdevelopped, it's something she can actually influence as a councillor. She's saying that as if it just happened and there's nothing we can do beside keeping parking in place.

Lily Cheng only has negative to say about increased density in Willowdale as part of the North York at the Center Secondary Plan. We are talking of a neighborhood at the intersection of the Yonge and Sheppard subway line, among the best transit in the city.
If you think she is wrong, the city is running a survey at this URL

Really not a fan of the gendered language in our councillor newsletter.
Apparently Dads are not signing up their kids for activities in the city, only Moms are doing it. And if your family doesn't have a mom, well too bad.
I know Lily Cheng is proud to be a mom, but this kind of discourse just perpetuate the stereotypes that taking care of kids must be done by women.

Toronto’s modular home projects were supposed to be a quick way to ease its housing crisis. So why is Willowdale’s rotting in a warehouse?

@rzaichkowski Lily Cheng is the one who’s been pushing for more consultation as she claims she was never informed of the previous ones. She’s strongly against the project. We can likely blame her for those extra steps.
However it’s true that the Doris extension has been delayed so many times, even as a car project she supports, she doesn’t understand why it’s taken so long.
