"Can They Have Constructive Conversations With Us?"

That's Toronto Mayor John Tory asking a question about how his meeting with Black Lives Matter Toronto--it's happening on Thursday--is likely to go.

Going strictly on past BLMTO behavior (holding up the Pride parade in the hot sun until organizers gave in to its demands, including the ouster of police from future parades; ordering the mayor to "stay in his lane"), one has the sense that the answer to the mayor's query would have to be an emphatic "no!"
