Brampton Resident: Brampton and People I

brampton resident: David Cooper / Toronto Star file photo By Peter Criscione Brampton Guardian Thu., July 6, 2017 Mayor Linda Jeffrey is urging a fellow city council member to seek diversity training for an email he wrote that says newcomers to Canada should learn the values of white people, according to Toronto Star. I find it disheartening to hear such insensitive language being used by a member of my council, said Jeffrey, responding to an email exchange between Regional Councillor John Sprovieri and a Brampton resident, which contains derogatory and racially charged language. I hope that the newcomers will learn the values of the white people so that Brampton and Canada will continue to be a favourite destination for people who want a better and peaceful lifestyle. Responding to Sheila Jacobson, the author of the email headed with the subject line Why are WHITE PEOPLE still planning Brampton's future Sprovieri stated that white people of Canada had created a great system where everyone is welcome and can live peacefully together. In an interview, Sprovieri said his comments, which have garnered widespread media attention and ignited outrage in the community and on social media, may have been poorly communicated, but are not entirely wrong. I hope that the newcomers will learn the values of the white people, so that Brampton and Canada will continue to be a favourite destination for people who want a better and peaceful lifestyle.
