the headlines witness is coming up next on al jazeera the u. s. a poll with people who wrote the well, this has been going on for a number of us with an international perspective with global audience. how does it impact the life? this is an important part of the world and how to do this very good at bringing the news to the world from a companies have access to radio ads and tv ads and online newspapers with the one space that is supposed to be sacred. li, ours, belonging to the public for the public by the public is as the name implies,

public space. there's something about them that has always seen grotesque to me and just so out of place. i don't think they billboards have any appropriate function in a public space. this is the corner here. we're here. we're on burnside drive right now. a beautiful side street in toronto. and this, believe it or not as number 25, burnside. but then you've got these. they're so big, they're just so big. it's like, like the way donald trump tweets in all caps, gonna go gonna go up on one. i think this can be turned into a little cafe. up here. there's something really nice meeting. there be a conveyor belt. will talk, you will just come to the right here. beautiful view. i actually took the time to ask the city if these billboards even had proper permits,

like are they allowed to be there? and the city wrote back and said, no, these billboards aren't supposed to be there. we're going to have them removed. this is a mistake that was 15 years ago with a if these billboards don't have proper permits, then technically there are actually pieces of corporate garbage just lying around. in which case, i think its hard duty as citizens to clean up that garbage ah, ah. in i started doing elliptical activism in my late teens. i have a lot of archives down here from like, decades of activist projects rank valid campaign. this is

a b c referendum on voting reform. city i had all this is, this is original trying to public space committee stuff from 20 years ago. here we go. this is 15 years ago. i think it's such an important issue. and i think the way we communicate with each other visually in our own neighborhoods really affects people, sense of belonging and importance and empowerment. but for people who get involved with politics and activism, and you've got poverty, and you've got a pandemic happening and you've got housing issues and you've got issues around race inequality. it's unlikely that the issue around billboards will go to the top of anyone's agenda. but i think it should be there. i think it affects all those other issues. you know, you can say it's sad, look back and realize we're still fighting the same fights we were in the ninety's . that's life, that's politics. these fights never end. and clearly, i hoard things with

this is the monthly meeting of the toronto public space committee chair. thank you . i'm always curious if the billboard company is really showing up at these meetings, summers looking at the names that i don't know to see what you might be watching. performance and then i had a billboard company send enough people to a meeting to out vote me and they put forward a motion to cancel our campaign against them. so move on to an update from dave on the billboards. i have 2 questions to ask you guys right now. one is that there's some locations where we need to actually go on the ground and do triangulation and figure out whose property it's on any just hands up if anyone's interested in. oh,

i see a i see a thumbs up from eagle. mm. mm. this parking lot is private property right here. this is part of a green outline on the map that is part of the hydro right of way. and as far as i can tell, the billboard literally crosses the line we look for property markers just anywhere, anything i mean, if anything, like, essentially, everywhere here, you didn't bring a machete like that in the email. i've never felt so attacked by nature. i'm in the, in the city should be doing this work anyways. so i could ask the city like, can you guys figure this out all regret this tomorrow. that slows things down. it's better if we can show them evidence that we've already figured in spectrum as one

is not impressed with what i'm saying. so i was hoping we could say it's on this property. is there a permanent or not? i, i really can't tell. but i would bet this was put up without any permit, no matter proving it. and then convincing staff to enforce the rules. why don't we put some signs on them? like notice of that the gate opened? why would that be that that scares people? i'm definitely putting a sign up here please. billboards are now under investigation by the front of explains committee dan. aside from asking city staff to look into the 20 year. so billboards that we're looking at. i also filed a freedom of information request and any citizen can file one of these and it's

a way to get information from the government that usually wouldn't be able to get. it's not our website, it's not in a flyer, but, but it's technically public information. i applied a few weeks ago, i said, does the city have a list of all the billboards and any cross reference data about whether they are permits or not? so i got a response. the decision is, access is granted in full to the records provided for review. i have to pay a $10.00 fee for a usb stick. wasn't expecting that the records of the record, the records will be mailed to you after we receive a check or money order a lot for the government makes it as hard as possible. i can do this by pay power i can do by e transfer at the send them a check or a money order. it's so frustrating. the government is like so committed to

being stuck in the dark ages with great one. there. you are the hard less active isn't, doesn't pay the bill. a new site get going with my kid. we're fabricating uninstalling bike racks. so people can lock bicycles in front of the house. you don't have to make the beeping found. k go other way. radiate id left a lucy little more and stop. i started doing like political activism in my late teens. there is an addictive

nature to it. the pressures and expectations of being seen as a leader can be a really heavy weight and, and it can create some serious mental health issues. so i've gone through a few major depressive episodes related to burn out and depression for today. mm. me. every breakdown i had triggered an identity crisis. you put everything into a campaign, all you've got for months, and when you lose it finished, you can just feel like such an idiot. like a failure. i was worried that my activism was killing me. and the only way i could survive was to drop politics and activism entirely, but i also knew that political work is so imbedded in my dna. and that's

a part of who i am. i really struggle with trying to understand where my life was going. what is a 20 year old activists turn into? and then i met euchre. me. i knew he was a full time activist. he lived in breathing activism. it wasn't like something he did. it was something he, he was he was smart and he was clever. he knew how to take an issue and get on the front page like you, theater, and gramma and agree and humor. to put forward ideas about what are the year 2010 is to share that nobody goes to them. i re let everybody a roof above their head. i don't remember to current any context other than activism, so i don't really have memories of him just as

a friend. i want to be like him. but i'm also, i don't wanna, i want to diverge from his journey. took him lou. ah, i i ok. so essentially i did a freedom of information request to the city saying, what have you guys got in terms of a database of existing signs and whether or not you have permits and will know right away hopefully which which sites have permits. okay, check your mouse. don't open that yet. you ready? yeah, you're ready. you ready?

the big list in it? yeah, they did a good job. i think the big okay. i'm opening it. invoice dates. ah, it's done by the tax amount. so it's $1570.00. what is almost 10000000 annually, what we're up against where does the part about? whereas the part about permits. i don't see anything here about permit. so i think we need to follow up. this does not have the data i asked for me when it comes to advocacy. we're up against these companies who have a multi $1000000.00 budget. they can hire the best lobbyist, the best p, r people. so we need to try every tactic we can use. i missed your assistant today. what madame? are you have your table are you will go over to the grass,

i guess. yeah. they won't bring any flowers. these are, these are earth warm. there is no reason to be intimidated by me whatsoever. i guarantee you ok. you're the one actually with the power rate, you're asking me questions, so i don't know what's coming. good point. yeah. billboards, burns, i, billboard, they've been there for quite a while and there they could be distracting, as there's a lot of drivers near there. and not only just because it's an ad or billboard, but because it's so sudden in the middle of all these trees, what am i looking at? it's just, i think they're turning the billboards from quite a while ago. this is dated 2006. it says there is something new information rich, not none of us were really sure what it was. you just heard that there was new information that ended up having them remain, but they never divulged what that was. yeah. how would you like to work together to

look into if they're allowed to be there? and let's follow up and have a discussion. sure, thank you. me . really strong or leave focused and creative, productive, and just mellow. i mean, i wrote this last year on an airplane in the middle of a burnout, so it says you are here. and then it's got all these paths forward of different projects i could be working on. so this is the billboard thing i decided and this is a hobby. it'll never be funded. i don't want it to be funded. i want it to be a hobby. it's when you start getting really hyper excited about the work. and when you're being fueled on adrenalin, that you risk burning out here,

sylvia. look at us in our matching hoodies. with a squad man, billboard squad. so look, i have it might be exciting. it might be nothing either they've, they're just sending us the same garbage again or they caved and sent us what i know they have. okay, here with that or be different. it's a nice usb of the cities logo on it. ok, i'm scared to look at it. you look at it, tell me what you see. i want permits. i want something. give us something. if they gave us a 2nd, this is the numbers. permit numbers. nothing science permit number. nice . i'm just scrolling down and when you get to like a 100, there's a bunch that say no permanent records have been locating. there are

662 entries that say no permit records have been located. this is great. this is the 1st time i've ever seen this data 25 burnside. no permit records have been located. ah. so the mailing everything given what do we do now with all this? this is amazing mary. she said, according to your records it seems like these dont have permanent wrong. can you confirm right? either have them removed or have them get permit or call me alright bye everyone have a great weekend. thanks for helping out with me. ah, some ways we revere the most famous activists in history. you know,

martin luther king gandhi. everyone loves a good activist, but no one wants their kids to go down that route. so when i was in my twenties, everyone i grew up with was in university, launching careers, and i'm marching in the streets with artists. i never had anyone to turn to. and the one guy who i did jumped off of bridge is our, my past goes. does my path inevitably lead to taking my own life? and this is the place you were before. i'd been there before, i've been there 3 times now. each time i felt like i probably wasn't going to come out of it. i might have had stress like anyone does, but i was coping and then suddenly i'm just crying like a baby for months and i started to fear myself more than anything. i feel like it's all coming back to sucker now because that was the 1st time that you had that burnout was after he died. one of the question in my head was like, can you be an,

an activist in your thirty's forty's? and the only answer i could find really was to her when he stepped off the bridge, this anchor that i had emotionally attached myself to suddenly was gone. and it put everything i had done in question me in. so you read to me. so i did a freedom of information request. so this includes the burnside information that they've had for like 15 years and would never thought they should share. they didn't get a notice of violation saying that you've never had assign permit and nothing in here suggest otherwise. feel like they're throwing everything canada right to get

something to stag because they never have the fact that they've done all this digging and haven't found anything with a word permit. and i think that be really powerful to be able to say in these 47 pages, you sent us the word permit doesn't appear. one, me, the alex, i just want to thinking 1st, getting out of school a little bit early for this. i didn't even, i don't even have a culture. okay. you're welcome. so just when you learned so long in the short of it is, is that the advice that i'm getting from the city staff is that they, they aren't convinced that they have. busy the tools they need and the toolbox to effectively get rid of the signs. so to say very plainly, whatever,

whatever the city or i would do, they see it ending up in court where they are not convinced that the company would be successful. and were you not willing to try? they don't know. so there are there for the whole thing that they're avoiding trying even trying to defend their own bylaw out of the year. a lot of losing it wouldn't have to be like not playing a baseball game because you might know when i said the verbatim. the funny i use the exact same example. it's pathetic by it. and i don't know why that's reasonable. i find it kind of sad that the city's own lawyers are caving on this. you have not seen any information that would lead you to believe that a that a permit exists for the thought? no. okay.

me. it's easy to get really emotionally attach. i've, i've done that like your campaign becomes like, like a child. and then when you lose a campaign, it's like it's so crushing me and we usually lose campaigns because of the stupid of them just because someone's trying to make a block me, it's always like walk in a fine line. you want to play by the rules, but you have to be prepared to push the envelope a been all a letter that shook her. oh, dear activist, it's another strange day for me. i lived breed and focused on activism.

it kept me thinking, inspired, interested, and alive. but are also allowed me to ignore other things in life that now suddenly i realize i never developed. and now i find myself in a dark and confusing labyrinth trying to feel my way back to sanity and calm me. i think i've been in a place that was as dark as he was that day. the scariest thing for me was worrying that i would make the same mistake, took her in i was able to maintain enough faith to believe that the nightmare with me and took her didn't get back last paying me the particular was missing and the part that i've learned how to do really well, i think at this point is just loving myself and not feeling bad about that. mm

hm. he wouldn't want us crying over him and he'd be like, sorry guys. now, sorry i had to do that. but like, don't that it distract you from your activism. you gotta go see the world for at the end of the day, for me it's all about power. why don't we have power and i'm not thrilled with how the city has acted. i feel like there's a bit of negligence on their part to regular work day for the trauma, public space committee by law, citizen enforcement unit. someone's gotta do it in this city. bureaucracy will never be a leader in reform. there's always going to be a private interest that interferes with the needs of the community and the community doesn't stand up for themselves. they'll get travel with. we've

been pretty lucky with rain so far. and if we're going to be a little hard, this is really when you're ready to go inspired me by making me realize that sometimes you have to be a little theatrical. a gorgeous i love laughing. the human species has improved that fell through millions of tiny vectoring people in their own way at their own pace and trying to make a difference in all these changes happen. not because of anyone here. it's because thousands and thousands of law the king,

something that was wrong and i'm a part of in i'm tired and i need a milk shake with after a lifetime in finland and emigrant returns to somali land upon discovering his ancestral home could be a gold mine but to benefit his community from the minerals beneath the land, he must navigate the jo tribal disputes above it. in witness golden light is on al jazeera, examining the head dying. how big a breakthrough is this story moment for all hours. research,
