Dear MR. Christopoulus

 

 

Mayor Ford Press Secretary

Hi

I would like to express my disappointment from Mayor disrespectful action  at  today monthly Ethnic press at city Hall., May 13-2012

If Mr Ford has a executive meeting , therefore why he accepting to address the ethic press. Mr. Ford spent less than 10 minutes there. not sitting , giving a few words ,and short answers would not be proper for a mayor of world class multicultural city such as Toronto who won the election on the ethnic votes.

2-  While Mr. Ford is boycotting all the mainstream media due to tension with Toronto star , it looks to me he is using ethic press against the main stream media while he has not done any interview with Ethnic media since he got elected to the pubic. For instance , personally I had two TV interview with him before election .

Please correct me if I am wrong  Mr. Ford was open to the public include the ethnics community  before his election ,but  he mostly has been absent from the ethnics event and venues .

Mayor has not attended any Iranian Canadian community event such as Fire festival which attract tens of thousands in Mel Last man Sq. on March 2011 while he was invited in 2010 ..

providing photo opportunity is appreciated but is not answer to so many questions raised within our community which should be addressed .

best
