This is important now because the City is debating and voting on a Poverty Reduction Strategy on June 30, and then on July. It’s also important because the City will be introducing a plan to address the cost of fares for people on low incomes later in the year.</span><br></font><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://www.ttcriders.ca">www.ttcriders.ca</a> </font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;">---------------------------------------<br>---------------------------------------<br></font></div><div><font face="Times" style="font-size: 14px;"><br></font></div><div><font face="Times"><b><font size="4" color="#00a3d7">School’s Out Party Fundraiser 2015, hosted by TREC Education<br></font></b><span style="font-size: 14px;">Wed.

The killer? His white, 14-year-old crush, Brandon McInerney. Was this a hate crime—retaliation against unwanted advances—or something more complex, entrenched in the community and society at large? Did flamboyant Larry, who liked to crochet, wear makeup and don heels, push his attacker, an emerging white supremacist, over the edge? It sure made for catchy headlines and drew attention to the plight of LGBTQ teens, as well as the overwhelmed educational and juvenile justice systems. But sensational press coverage only scratched the surface of the real story. Valentine Road delves deeper, to explore the complicated issues of accountability, sympathy and deviance at the heart of a legal defence that posited a murder victim can be the cause of his own murder.
