Why is it that the funding available (after June 30, 2012) will be decided by volunteers selected by Staff? Why is it that every year staff can't seem to get the council funding to councils until July ... when Councils break from June to September? We need to better educate staff around
the Canadian democratic system. No where at any level of government is there term limits, not Federal, Provincial nor Municipal, and yet staff feel the need to impose term limits on unpaid volunteers who actually want to represent their communities.
TCH should target areas of more pressing concern such as "Safety, Town Hall Meetings, Maintenance and Pest Control". Staff should focus their efforts on being a better Landlord and not creating new ways to stifle and control the hundreds of tenants who volunteer their time to make TCH a better place to live. Why do we have to fight with staff to represent our communities?
. It is a fact Staff over the years had drove tenants bonkers for the sole reason of not agreeing with their point of view "Political speech [...] is the single most important and protected type of expression. It lies at the core of the guarantee of free expression [...]. The right of the people to discuss and debate ideas forms the very foundation of democracy [...]. For this reason, the Supreme Court of Canada has assiduously protected the right of each citizen to participate in political debate." - SUPREME COURT OF CANADA, 2004 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Fundamental freedoms 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association. In the Good Old U.S.A in their Constitution is engraved an important legal statue, is call the First amendment ( Since Mr Eugene is an American he is aware of it)
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Therefore as a "volunteer" member of the T.E.R.C ,the Communications Work Group and as Tenant I have guarantees that I am free to express my opinion.. I am not on Payroll with T.C.H.C if I was the case SURELY I will have to comply to whatever the head boss has put forward for I have a Mental and Physical Disability already what can they do next?.. Kick me out of housing because of my "free speech".. let them try. Miguel Avila T.C.H.Tenant
