Number to Elect: 1

In June 2024, Trustee Viloria sponsored an excellent motion-in-committee to prevent the homosexualist Pride flag from being flown at DPCDSB facilities, and days later, on June 11, he voted against an sneaky motion that would have opened the door for anti-Catholic flags like the LGBT Pride flag to be flown at DPCDSB facilities.

Trustee Viloria's principled voting pattern aligns nicely with his initial responses to our election survey, on the basis of which CLC had endorsed him for election in 2022. His September 2023 vote to change the DPCDSB by-law governing Delegations & Submissions to include new censorship provisions designed to block parents from being able to criticize Gender Identity Theory and LGBT Ideology was likely due to an unfortunate misunderstanding.

Gonsalves was endorsed by a pro-LGBT former trustee, Sharon Hobin. The latter was a supporter of the homosexual and transgender "Pride" movement, and even voted against a motion to ask the Catholic teachers union (OECTA) to withdraw from marching in the LGBT "Pride" parade. Our concern is if the reason Hobin endorsed Gonsalves endorsed could be that they are of the same mind with regard to LGBTQ activism.
