Pickering city officials steeled themselves. They watched as a line of people filed into council chambers to support Lisa Robinson.
Since her election in October 2022, the rookie councillor has opposed Pride events and denounced Black History Month. But when councillors try to speak out against her, and rein in what they feel is a growing distraction, Robinson’s defenders get louder.
The mayor received an email from a resident, who suggested he could face a public hanging. Two councillors say they were followed home after meetings by people they believe are Robinson supporters.
