Conservative candidate dropped by party over Islamophobic tweets says she's still running as a Tory
'Vote Conservative, vote for me,' Lisa Robinson has been telling voters
The Tories dumped Lisa Robinson last week after the Beaches–East York Liberal incumbent, Nate Erskine-Smith, posted screenshots of Twitter posts allegedly written by Robinson.
Robinson denied that the Twitter account that sent the posts in 2017 belonged to her and said she had previously reported it to police.
Robinson said Friday she is refusing to give up the campaign, despite having lost the endorsement of Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole.
She said in an email to The Canadian Press: "I am still fighting as a candidate in this election."
"I am still the confirmed Conservative candidate for Beaches–East York. There are a lot of confused voters, and they need to know my values of being a rooted conservative have not changed," she said.
Her name remains on the ballot paper because she was dropped as the official Tory candidate after the deadline for registering.
Robinson said if she is elected in the riding, the Conservatives will either take her back, she will stand as an Independent or she'll join another party.
She has been sending phone messages to voters telling them to "vote Conservative, vote for me, Lisa Robinson, a candidate who will stand up for you."
In the messages, she also says: "Despite what you are hearing in the news, I am your Conservative candidate and these accusations against me are false."
She adds: "I believe in the environment. I believe in health care. I believe in fiscal responsibility. I believe in human rights, and I believe in our Charter of Rights. And I believe in fighting for the needs of Beaches–East York for all generations. Justin Trudeau has failed Canadians during this COVID-19 crisis. It's time for change."
Her campaign website states that she is an independent but includes a large picture of her and O'Toole. It is also emblazoned with Tory blue.
The Conservatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
Robinson is adamant that she never wrote the tweets that led to her being dropped.
One post stated that Muslim residents should "go home if our Canadian heritage offends you so much."
She has said the Twitter account, titled "Ward 1 city councillor, candidate," is not hers and she reported it to police in 2018.
Robinson said last week that "racism and Islamophobia have no place in the Conservative Party of Canada or my campaign."
IMHO The wrongs practiced against this Lady lately within a purportedly "Just Democracy" are very egregious. I wish he well in her endeavours
Lisa Robinson
City Councillor - Ward 1
It is important to me to always be guided by my heart, when it comes to advocating for my community. My beliefs are shaped through my lived experiences and I now choose to project the higher importance of helping others achieve a better life in Canada.
For over 20 years, I have been helping families in the real estate sector, while notably receiving designations as a real estate negotiation expert and a senior real estate specialist. Given my thirst to make a difference in the world, I gravitated to the field of law.
I have since secured a paralegal diploma with Honours, became a member of the Law Society of Ontario, and have been appointed a Notary Public under Notaries Act. I have a lifelong passion for learning and continued education. I advocate for those in need throughout various streams of law, Human Rights, Landlord & Tenant matters, Provincial Offences Act, and Criminal Justice issues. I am a proud mother of a teenager, a community activist, a published author, a neighbour, and someone who believes in giving to local charities each year.
One of my favourite philanthropic undertakings is my creation of Project Humanity and the Robinson Annual Halloween Haunt and Corn Maze, which brings thousands of people to my home each year.
I look forward to getting to know the residents of Pickering throughout my term in Council. I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their goals and inspiring others to lead by example. Community, fairness, dialogue, compassion, respect, transparency, and accountability are some of the key cornerstones that I believe in and live by.

Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson is being docked another 60 days of pay following a report by the city’s integrity commissioner.
Councillors discussed the report on Monday, during a raucous council meeting that the chamber was eventually cleared.
Members of the public took to the podium to take issue with another motion being debated that day. That motion would express the city’s support for some potential policies around municipal codes of conduct.
Robinson has previously had her pay suspended by 30 days, due to a separate incident.
The Integrity Commissioner’s Report
In the report dated October 13, the firm ‘Principles Integrity’ argued Robinson had contravened council’s code of conduct.
The issues stem back to a May 15 incident outside the Durham District School Board (DDSB) in Whitby, when Robinson appeared in front of a crowd of protesters and announced her plans to introduce three motions:
- To only fly government flags in public spaces, as well as flags supporting veterans. This would effectively ban the pride flag and transgender pride flag from government buildings. Robinson noted this policy follows a similar one enacted in Norwich, Ontario.
- To bar children from attending pride parades and drag storytime events.
- To allow non-members to access male-only and female-only changerooms at the Chestnut Hill Recreation Complex. Robinson’s motion does not explicitly call for the removal of the universal changeroom, which includes 23 individual changing cubicles.
Robinson was ultimately unable to find a seconder for these motions.
Inside the DDSB building, the May meeting proved particularly raucous. The room was eventually cleared.
“It cannot be a coincidence that she just happened to have the [notices of motion] at hand when she took the bullhorn microphone in hand to address the crowd on the board office steps,” reads the October report. “As well, she was observed within the building handing out her business card. Whether it was her real estate business card, her paralegal business card or her City Councillor card, handing out business cards at a school board meeting suggests she was exploiting the meeting as an opportunity to garner support.”
“For the above reasons, we find that the councillor has promoted attitudes which are homophobic and transphobic, failed to recognize the diversity of the community, failed to protect the dignity of individuals, and attempted to bring forward motions which would not, in our view, withstand scrutiny under Ontario’s Human Rights Code,” argued the report.
The AMO’s proposed policies
Members of the public took to the podium to decry another motion, which they described as undemocratic.
That motion does not make any changes to the city’s laws, but expresses Pickering’s support for other measures being proposed by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
The AMO, which represents the province’s municipal and regional governments, is seeking to have Queen’s Park strengthen certain municipal codes of conduct. This would include the following policies:
- Making updates to these codes to account for workplace safety and harassment.
- Providing more training for integrity commissioners.
- Allowing municipalities to ask a judge to remove a sitting council member, if it is recommended by an integrity commissioner’s report.
“For clarity, if the arms-length independent integrity commissioner had the jurisdiction to offer that sanction [removal], council could go to the courts and make that determination,” explained Ashe.
Some speakers on Monday argued the measures, if they are ever implemented by Queen’s Park, could make it easier for councillors to remove Robinson from office. As of Wednesday, no Pickering councillor has publicly called for Robinson’s ouster.
“Being a citizen, this is about removing an elected official off council with no regard for the people’s voice,” said one speaker.
“The City of Pickering is anything but a democratic institution with respectful discourse,” said another.
“I see you as parental-phobic, and have no interest in protecting my children from public displays of sexuality during parades and age-inappropriate pornographic material and drag shows,” said another speaker.
“From what I understand, you’re asking that municipalities across the province be allowed to remove a councillor based on the recommendations of an integrity office, regardless of [whether] that councillor was voted in by the public,” said a woman who identified herself as Robinson’s mother.
“What you are wanting and working towards, in my opinion, is a dictatorship,” she added.
The meeting was punctuated by multiple raucous moments. One person in the gallery who had been speaking loudly was removed about halfway through.
“If anyone else doesn’t want to respect the rules of this chamber, please leave now,” said Ashe. “The police are here if you need some assistance.”
The first vote
Councillors first discussed the integrity commissioner’s report.
“It is disheartening to witness the very individuals who should be standing up for justice and fairness, sanctioning a single parent burdened with responsibilities, mortgage payments and the well-being of her child,” argued Robinson. “Is this the kind of leadership we deserve? I think not.”
“It’s not a matter of whether I agree, or any of us agree with Councillor Robinson and her personal opinions or whether we disagree,” argued Councillor David Pickles.
“I think as the integrity commissioner pointed out, it has more to do with the conduct and the actions,” he said. “And they found the conduct and actions to be inappropriate and that the councillor has not complied with the ethical framework that applies to her.”
“It’s about human rights. And there is no compromise when we talk about people’s human rights under the laws of Ontario,” said Councillor Maurice Brenner.
“You may not realize it, Councillor Robinson, but this creates an environment of material harm against those who are vulnerable and marginalized,” argued Councillor Linda Cook.
“This is very polarizing for the entire community, whatever you believe,” she added. “This is impugning the ability for us to continue with other orders of business as we spend time and energy, rather than focusing on building relationships and moving forward. I hope this is certainly the last integrity commissioner’s report we have to deal with at council.”
During his remarks, Ashe noted that a recent op-ed by Robinson had been “denouncing” the universal changerooms at Chestnut Hill. Robinson interjected, taking issue with that term.
“I did not denounce the universal changeroom; I said it should be inclusive of all,” she said.
As the argument unfolded, Robinson accused Ashe of lying.
At one point, Robinson’s mother returned the podium to interject. “I have the floor, and I’m giving my remarks,” Ashe said to her. “If you want to come up here in three years, you get your 25 signatures, you get your 100 dollars, and you put your name on the ballot.”
Ashe wound up clearing the gallery.
“My apologies for people that have been acting appropriately,” he said when the meeting resumed.
“I’ve got to tell you, I’ve been in this chamber for 16 years, Councillor Pickles for 26 years [and] Councillor Brenner over the course of four decades, off and on,” he continued. “We have never experienced what we have just experienced. So shame on everybody.”
“Councillor, I encourage you to reflect on the implications of the report and consider how we can collectively move forward,” he said to Robinson.
Council voted in favour of the pay suspension.
The second vote
They later discussed the AMO’s policies.
“It is vital to have a mechanism for all employees to be free from harassment and to have a mechanism to report incidents of workplace violence,” said Councillor Mara Nagy.
“Why would these questionable politicians put horrendous rules on ourselves?” she said, in respect to the question of whether Robinson could be removed from office. “This is not something that would apply to one person, one councillor, one municipality. We are asking for this to protect all staff, all levels of corporations across all municipalities.”
“Today raises concerns about the actions of our city council, who are advocating for the provincial government to grant them the authority to expel elected officials and prevent them from running in future elections, based on their Code of Conduct,” said Robinson, during her remarks.
“This, my friends, is a grave injustice and a betrayal to the democratic ideals that we hold dear,” she added.
Council voted to support the policies.
The next day, Ashe took to YouTube to decry the behaviour of people in the gallery.
“I think it diminishes democracy when the audience was intimidating people – councillors, staff, residents,” he said. “It made it an unsafe place for the dialogue that should be cordial, respectful and meaningful.”
In a statement to Durham Radio News, Robinson expressed her “utmost disgust” at Monday’s events.
“The actions and intentions behind all of my motions have always been rooted in promoting neutrality, safety, and inclusivity,” she wrote. “The biased and vindictive behaviors displayed by certain council members, as well as the dismissive actions of the integrity commissioner, are not only disheartening but also detrimental to our democratic society. It is my fervent hope that these concerns are thoroughly addressed, and that we can foster an environment where fair dialogue and respect for differing viewpoints prevail.”
Robinson said the report appeared to be “nothing more than a product of double hearsay.”
“I have previously lodged complaints regarding senior staff members discouraging me from providing statements of disclosure,” she claimed. “Shockingly, these concerns were dismissed, along with my complaints regarding undisclosed gifts and benefits received by other council members, as well as unreported golf games. The lack of investigation, absence of witness interviews, and overall bias exhibited by the integrity commissioner represent a grievous breach of ethical and professional conduct.”
“Furthermore, I have also brought forward serious complaints of sexual harassment, workplace harassment, psychological harassment, and violence,” she continued. “Astonishingly, these complaints were summarily dismissed by the integrity commissioner without any meaningful investigation or engagement with witnesses, despite my provision of ample evidence.”

It is hard to think of someone more deserving than Barbara Whitenect. Barb obtained her Bachelor of Social Work at St. Thomas University in 1991 and followed that by obtaining her Masters of Social Work from Carleton University in 1992. Barb has been a member in good standing with the NBASW since 1992. She has been actively involved with the provincial NBASW since 2007first as vice-president. Barb is currently the President of the NBASW and represents the NBASW on the national and international front with her active involvement with CASW, CCSWR and ASWB. She has been a key player in leading NBASW to adopt its first Scope of Practice. Barb identifies herself as a social worker at every opportunity. She has provided social work education to social work students – both by teaching at St. Thomas University and by supporting field placement opportunities for students within her workplace. Barb is currently employed in a Director`s Position for the Department of Health, attached to the Central Office Mental Health Services for New Brunswick. By her many skills and knowledge, Barb is often solicited by her peers to be involved with and take on various projects around the province and even on a National level. She is a great leader for our membership and staff of NBASW, her ongoing involvement has brought our Association to a higher level of both administrative issues and constructive political working relationships. Barb represents social work proudly and is dedicated to the advancement of the profession and she is an inspiration to many of us. It is for this reason that she is the ideal candidate for the 2013 CASW Distinguished Service Award.
