Judging by an interview to which I've just listened, her spoken French is acceptable, but not excellent. Her Facebook posts in French are also acceptable but have mistakes, but she might not write them herself. That's original research, of course.

Candidates in 2020 by-election
According to the reference to Elections Canada given, one of the candidates in the 2020 by-election was "Above Znoneofthe". The article said that the candidate's name was "None of the Above". I changed the article to indicate the correct name according to Elections Canada, but my change was promptly reverted. Why?
Above Znoneofthe is a real person who legally changed his name to get more visibility on the ballot, per
[1]. He also formed the "None of the Above Party" to run in the 2018 Ontario election (paradoxically, a party of independents), and also supposedly joined the Rhinoceros Party to run in Trudeau's riding in the recent federal election (
[2]). Yes, his real, legal name should be in the results template (and I think is, now, but I'll check on it).

This would probably be doing her a favor, as she really strongly appears to have been a saboteur dispatched from a certain community to punish the Greens for denouncing the Jewish National Fund and advocating BDS. You can't really find any totally open discussion about it, but she frequently did allude to being victimized by accusations; she made bizarre salary demands which were enough to be a problem for the party but also obviously nowhere near enough to be worth much to her; and by the end of it she apparently did things like announce her resignation publicly while simultaneously sending threatening letters to party insiders demanding they neither replace her nor talk about it publicly. Not to mention things like appearing inarticulate and unable to talk about anything except being a victim of racism and sexism until the party was well and truly trashed, whereupon she suddenly turned out to be a good debater. I mean if we had a loyal government in this country she'd be investigated as some kind of foreign influence agent, honestly. She was just working for the tribe.

Hi there,
I would like to point out that the person in the first image is not Annamie Paul. For reference, I have attached a link to a news article containing an accurate picture of Ms. Paul below.
Thanks for your comment,
Oneofffixer. The image that you saw was the result of vandalism and has been corrected. Unfortunately we cannot use the image in the Star article because it is copyrighted, and does not satisfy our
criteria on the use of non-free content because a free alternative is available. If you know of any other free-to-use images that might be better than the one currently in the article, please feel free to suggest them here. Cheers.
