Abdullah-Baquie Ghazi is qualified with Master of Science degree. He is a longtime Social Justice advocate and
Courageous leader - who wants to Empower the Poor and Remove Poverty from the diverse multicultural Society
of Toronto bringing change to old traditional leadership and governance of Toronto City Council with new
leadership of multicultural spirits through an economic & social strategy which will address the difficult economic
conditions and non-transparent democracy faced by Toronto.
Majority Torontonians are hard working lower to middle class families who in current difficult Economic
Conditions deserve to get an Economic Stimulus support by City government’s budget.
Toronto’s poor struggling ethnic multicultural diversity can be transformed into an Economic Powerhouse
expanding across domestic & International markets by Empowering them with affordable Connectivity.
Poor people do not create Poverty. Poverty is produced mostly by the failure of Government and Political Leaders.
‘Poor are a Resource’ – they need Productivity Tools, which create buying Power.
Big Corporate Business Owners and their Medias are Face-wind to Poor. A System is required to make struggling
poor – as productive - to provide them Tail-wind. Connectivity is Productivity and Productivity is Scalability.
$ 60/ monthly TTC Pass is Poor's Connectivity !
“Whether We are believer of God or Non-believer – We all can be believer of Social Justice. ”
Social Justice Advocates who are fighting a long time for people’s rights – are naturally more trustworthy to bring
Change in rules and systems than those experienced Politicians who did not care long time for their fellow Citizens.
Failure of achieving an affordable Connectivity for Poor could face more Poverty , Crimes and Corruptions in the
Society. Time is calling Torontonian to be united into a Powerful Front to achieve equal Social Justice and
Connectivity to remove Poverty from the Society. Long live Toronto – Long live Canada.
