Indeed they were.... The "Housing co-ops" are designated and designed by all means for LOW income.. 70-90 percent are FULLY subsidized and the remaining are filled via a WAITING LIST for LOW-RENT! Olivia and Jack dispaced a family and I trully hope that one of the media conglomorates will have the balls to fully digest the data and facts and show the 2 for what they are/were.. Regardless of one of them being deceased...

Layton and Chow were caught living in the taxpayer-subsidized Hazelburn Co-op in the early ‘90s. A group of single mothers who picketed the co-op every day with ghetto blasters playing the song, Hit the Road Jack forced the issue long enough to drive him out, though Smilin’ Jack will contend that he left voluntarily.

When the Conservative provincial government of the day was debating who should rightfully be living in taxpayer-subsidized co-ops, the rally call was changed to “Housing for the Needy, Not the Greedy”, something that has stuck to Smiling Jack tar-and-feather-fashion for those who never forgot the hypocrisy of Hazelburn.

When they were living in the co-op with Chow’s mother, the combined annual income of Layton and Chow was $120,000. The rent on their 3-bedroom apartment was $880 per month.

The total salary of Canada’s most notorious couple is $369,156, a combination of Layton’s $211,425 salary as NDP leader and wife Olivia’s $157,731 as an MP. Both Laytons also collect municipal pensions from their days as councillors.

I have nothing to add, except disgust that someone saw fit to delete a valid post based on their own biases.

I do care about random acts of censorship.

Climb off the cross bcsapper, no one here is trying to censor or impose their "biases" on you. The original post was deleted because it was deemed inflammatory and a pretty good example of a trolling post.

It was a judgement call made by me and I stand by it.

Now, should a note have been sent to the original poster requesting they repost with more respect and decorum, yes. A note should have been sent, and the Moderation team will make every effort to notify a member if an action like this is done in the future. However, i will point you all to the rules and guides, specifically this section:

These forums are not a free-for-all discussion area. Mapleleafweb operates these forums in the hopes that they will promote intelligent, honest and responsible discussion. If at any time the discussion cease to be "intelligent" and "responsible" then the discussion will be ended.

Mapleleafweb will attempt to monitor the content of the postings and reserves the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. We will also attempt to use this power judiciously and fairly, but our decisions are final.

If for some reason your post has been deleted and you were not notified, please feel free to contact a moderator or the Forum Admin and request an explanation.

No one contacted me requesting an explanation. Also, this is NOT the place in the forums to post questions about moderation and or missing threads. If any of you post a thread like this again, outside of the Support and Questions section of the forum, I will delete the thread without notice.

There's another one now. Will it be deleted immediately, or do I have time to read it?

It has already been deleted, as the quality of the initial posting is pure troll bait. Peeves, consider this your notice that any future posting that is this poor in quality, will be deleted.
