i don't know how staying silent is ever going to make things better when your brother said, you, harry, how could you do this to me? of the everything of everything we went through would not be what you would say. you probably say all sorts of different things, what the public makes of it all is the real test of whether these news stains on royal family relations or shrugged off or cause further damage to the royal bran. jonah, how al jazeera and ah, what y'all deserves me said robin in doha, reminder of our top stories kevin mccarthy's bid to become the u. s. how speaker has become the longest voting process in 164 years. after 3 days and 11 rounds, the republicans have failed to get enough of his party support. john 100 has more from capitol hill in 5 votes. just over the course of to day,

gavin mccarthy has not gained a single vote at block of 20 voters plus one voting present has remained unchanged. that the only thing that changes is who they vote for. taking advantage of the fact that you don't have to be a member of congress to be speaker, one member of that block proposed that donald trump become that house speaker. he's not likely to get a lot of votes, but of the people who are not kevin mccarthy and are republicans. the votes have remained 20. china has denied dom playing the official number of cove at 19 cases and deaths in the country. the national health commission held an online meeting about the outbreak with the world health organization and international experts. the u. s. president has announced a new plan to clamp down all the legal border crossings. jo biden's policy will force migrants and asylum seekers from haiti, cuba, nicaragua, as well as venezuela to apply through a specific legal process. if they're tried to enter illegally,

rebel african. tell me on how he 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 that 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 is number 25, burnside. but then you've got these. they're so big. they're just so big. it's like, like, like the way donald trump tweets and all caps. 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 copy with this company 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 face billboard don't have proper permits. then technically they're actually pieces of corporate garbage just like round, in which case i think it's our duty as citizens to clean up that garbage with in i started doing political activism in my late teens. i have a lot of archives down here from like, decades of activist projects rank ballot campaign. this is a b c referendum on voting reform. city i had all this is, this is original trauma, 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 and equality. 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 could say it's sad to 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. thank you. i'm

always curious if the billboard company is really showing up with these meetings, summers looking at the names that i don't know to see what you might 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 is 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 the green outline

on the map that is part of the hydro right. avoid. 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, it didn't bring them a chevy. 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 can assess the city like, can you guys figure this out? i'll regret this tomorrow. that slows things down. it's better if we can show them evidence that we've already figured it out in spectrum. as lynn is not impressed with what i'm saying. so i was hoping we could say it's on this property. is there a permit or not? but i, i really can't tell. but i would bet this was put up without any permit to matter,

proving it. and then convincing staff to enforce the rules. why don't we put some signs on them? like notice of invent things as the game will come to live about? it scares people. i'm definitely putting a sign up here. these billboards are now under investigation for the toronto planes committee. ah, in 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. that'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 have

permits or not? so i got a response. the decision is accessed is granted in full to the records provided for review. i have to pay a $10.00 fee for a us be stick with an expect the that the records, the rec, the records will be mailed to you after we receive a check or money order. i love the government makes it as hard as possible. i can do this by paper, how i can do by e transfer and to send them a check or a money order. it's so frustrating that government is like so committed to being stuck in the dark ages. me great when you are hired. activism doesn't pay the bill

because new psychic going kids where fabricating and installing like rats. so people can lots of bicycles in front of their house. you don't have to make the beeping down k go otherwise. oh, rainy id left a. lucy little more and stuff. i started doing like political activism in my late teens. there is an addictive nature to it. the pressure as an expectations of being seen as a leader can be a really heavy weight. ah, and are it concrete, some serious mental health issues? so i've gone through

a few major depressive episodes related to burn out and depression. i for today. mm. mm. 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, 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 embedded in my dna. and that's 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'm, i took her me, i knew

because he was a full time activist. he lived in bree activism. it wasn't like something he did. it was something he, he was smart. he was clever. he knew how to take an issue and get on the front page . i like theater and gramma and agree and humor. to put forward ideas about what are your 2010 is to share. nobody goes bad. my re let everybody has a roof above their heads. 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. ah,

i oh, 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 it yet. you ready? yeah, you're ready. you're ready. big lift it. yeah, they did a good job. i think the big okay. i'm opening it. invoice dates. it's done by the tax amount. so it's $1570.00. what is almost $10000000.00 annually?

well that's we're up against where the part about where is the part about permits. i don't see anything here about permits. 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 i miss your assistant today? what, madame? or you have your table or you will go over to the grass. yeah. they won't bring any flowers. no. this, 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. the billboards burns. i billboard

. leaving there for quite a while and there they could be distracting, as is 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 things. 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 said something new information rich. not none of us were really sure of what it was. so 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, early, focused and creative, productive, and just mellow. i wrote this last year on an airplane in the middle of burn out. so it says you are here and, 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 will never be funded at a want 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 and our matching hoodies with a squad man, billboard squad. so look, i have it might be exciting. it might be nothing either. and they've,

they're just sending us the same garbage again, or they caved and sent us what i know they have. okay, here we go. that are be different. it's a nice usb of the cities logo on it. okay, i'm scared to look at it. you look at it on what you see. i want permits. i want something, give us something. if they gave us a 2nd, this is the numbers. permit numbers being signed permit number. nice. i'm just scrolling down and when you get to like a 100, there's a bunch that say no permit records have been located in 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 just so what do we do now with all this? this is amazing. mary. you're from american say, according to your records, it seems like you don't have her man wrong. can you confirm right? either? have them removed or have them get her man or dan cole. alright. bye. everyone have a great weekend. thanks for helping out with me. ah. some ways we revere the most famous activists in history and martin luther king gandhi, everyone loves a good activist, but no one wants our 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 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 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.

mm mm. so you're at the meeting. so i did it 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 the word permit in it. i think that be really powerful to, to be able to say in these 47 pages, you sent us the word term. it doesn't appear one me

the want to thinking 1st, getting out of school a little bit early for this. you know, i don't even, i don't even have a culture. yeah. 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 unsuccessful. and i'm not good, i'm willing to try. they don't know it's so they're a recording that they're avoiding trying even trying to defend their own by law,

out of the year of a lot of losing. it wouldn't have to be like not playing a baseball game because you might now when i said the exactly verbatim i, that's funny i, i used the exact same example. it's pathetic. i don't buy it and i don't know how 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 8 that a permit exists for the sites? no. okay. me. it's easy to get really emotionally attach. 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 3 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 of all a letter that took her, wrote 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 told 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 for 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, no, 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 with it. 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 uniform. absolutely 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 lani gang company that was wrong and i'm a part of in i'm tired. i need a milkshake. a
