🌊 Only patriots in this council

Good morning.

Toronto’s going to shut down for the next couple of weeks, so I was dragged out of bed for a last-minute lunch with my extended family. Which is honestly the most tasty but unnecessarily Chinese parent move ever.

Lawmakers, oath takers, patriots

The Legislative Council’s fresh batch of 90 elected lawmakers took part in pledging an oath of allegiance on Monday. This ceremony was officiated by Chief Executive Carrie Lam – a first in the council’s history.

The oath-taking went – more or less – without a hitch. Two lawmakers, Michael Luk from the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Union and Third Side’s Tik Chi-yuen, needed to repeat the process due to missing words during their spoken statements (reminds me of when I sat in class in elementary school listening to my classmates stumble over readings), but otherwise, nothing went awry. One elected councillor of the DAB party didn’t have his right hand raised during the oath but wasn’t made to perform a redo (come on, man).

Three lawmakers took their oaths in Mandarin: Chow Man-kong, Sun Dong, and Tan Yueheng (all Election Committee).
