A city councillor in Pickering, Ontario, has been given a 60-day pay suspension for motions deemed “homophobic” and “transphobic” by the city’s integrity commissioner.
Council voted unanimously on the move on Oct. 23 following a presentation of an investigation into activities by councillor Lisa Robinson at a May 15 Durham District School Board meeting. Ms. Robinson told a crowd at the meeting about several motions she was intending to bring to council the following week.
