Mayor lashes out over missing Homecoming party invite

#NotGuelphProud, Guthrie tweets

On Sept. 24, Mayor Cam Guthrie took to Twitter to clap back at U of G homecoming partygoers. In a Cam-Cam video filmed from his car, Guthrie detailed in great length the homecoming party that he threw for himself and the First Lady of Guelph (FLOG), after having been left out of all student organized activities. This video was just one in a series of webcam vlogs that the Mayor of Guelph, local basketball hustler, drummer of Fitness Club Fiasco, and famed Guelph Royals player has uploaded to his very popular YouTube channel.

In the video, Guthrie calls out U of G students for hosting parties that were not accessible to all members of the community. Guthrie stated, “The Gryphon pledge says that Gryphons will ‘create space for diverse voices to be heard.’ But when I look at photos of your parties on Instagram, there are no mayors.” He then referred to the oversight as unacceptable behaviour, noting that he and the FLOG did not receive a single invitation to a pancake kegger or post-game party. According to his Twitter feed, Guthrie stated that he would be filing a complaint of mayorism with the Diversity and Human Rights office on campus.
