Conflict-Averse Fragility: Front Runners and Rigs Toronto

conflict-averse fragility: Do you think I'm exaggerating Consider this A white man, along with his white cabinet, elected by white Ontario, enacted a bill that rigs Toronto's imminent election in favour of white candidates, according to National Observer.
