This decision to limit Afrofest is a clear demonstration of discrimination, and the city of Toronto should not abide by such racism.

Just don't understand how this can't fly when an event like the airshow treats the whole city to screaming hot jet blasts.

Afro Fest is a huge contributor to the cultural life of the world's most diverse city and should continue as a multi-day festival.

Afrofest is a responsible entity and a 2 day event can be reasonably negotiated. Culture is the heartbeat of this city. Let's create opportunity for Culture to thrive rathet than regulating it out of existence.

This is the only event that brings Africans together to celebrate our music culture. All we get to celebrate in toronto are numerous jazz festivals! Please don't take it away from us.

What a lack of political and tactical creativity. This smacks of poor management and clumsy community relations.

This is anti-black racism. There is no place for any kind of racism in the city of Toronto, least of all from an elected member of city government.
