The city of Toronto is patently anti-black.

Why is the City of Toronto so racist? I was born in Cabbage town. I am a Canadian citizen with African roots and This is such shame on Toronto!

I love afrofest and want to make sure this important festival stays viable. They need the two day permit! It certainly sounds like there has been some discrimination around how various festivals have been treated in the permit process.

Shocking that the city takes a strategy that sounds like "punishment" for alleged past noise instead of a mechanism (even an official witness) to ensure noise levels and times. Sounds creepy and maybe racist. councillor macmahon should explain why a progressive would abide this, let alone approve it.

I have attended Afrofest for years and it is a superbly well organized event that I and so many others look forward to attending year after year. Let's keep it going, not diminish it!

Live in beaches and can hear the "noise". Afrofest is no different than many of the other summer festivals at Woodbine Park. I strongly feel that singling out the African festival is racially discriminatory. I also find MMM quotes in article quite condescending. If she is being accurately portrayed she might want to consider PR or cultural sensitivity training.

Save afrofest. We signed a petition to save afrofest to remain in queens park but it was still moved. Lets do more than sign petitions this time round!
