Jackson went on to be the new premier's closest political confidant.

Edna Brown
Myers was born to Anglo-Indian parents in Bangalore. His father worked for Indian Railways. His career in radio started in Ghana, where he arrived as a teenager in 1957, three days before independence. Myers became friends with Smokey Hesse, who hosted "Jazz Scene" on Radio Ghana and let Myers regularly sit in during broadcasts. One day, Smokey realised he had forgotten his script at home, rushed back to get it, and was hit by a bus and killed. Sitting in the studio, and unaware of the accident, Myers was asked to fill in and present the programme instead. He did it so well that he was hired as a broadcaster at the station. He became the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation's top radio personality and the favourite radio voice of Ghana's first president, Kwame Nkrumah. While in Accra, organized a weekly discotheque session that helped popularize rock and roll in the capital and also directed the country's first musical and helped found what became the country's national theatre.

Myers was in the cohort of DJs who launched BBC Radio 1 in 1967 sharing duties with Terry Wogan presenting "Late Night Extra", while also continuing on the BBC Africa Service. He was constrained on his Radio 1 show by the station's restrictive playlist and policies, denying him the on air freedom he had on the World Service. He also began presenting a weekend programme on BBC Africa, "PM", named after his initials, where he would interview celebrities such as Shirley Bassey, Carol Channing, David Lean, Stephen Sondheim, Ingrid Bergman, and Sophia Loren. In the early 1970s, the success of "Good Morning Africa" promoted the World Service to make it the flagship morning programme across the English section as "The Good Morning Show", also presented by Myers.
He left the BBC in 1974, after 11 years, and moved to Beirut, Lebanon where he opened a nightclub, the Crazy Horse Saloon, only to close it down a few weeks later when the Lebanese Civil War broke out. He moved to Turkey, where he attempted to start another nightclub, before returning to broadcasting in 1976 when he joined Radio Netherlands, where he produced and presented English-language documentaries, features, and other programming aimed at Africa and Asia, as well as for the English section generally, presenting and producing programmes such as "Afroscene", "Mainstream Asia", "Asiascan", "Rembrandt Express", and "50+".

Later, he was a provincial judge.

He was elected to the North York Township Council in 1956 and then as its reeve (the equivalent of mayor) in 1958, while the suburb was experiencing a boom in development as its population grew.
In office, he crusaded against illegal basement apartments and the subdivision of single family homes into multi-tenant units and utilized the township's resources to evict up to 1,000 tenants of these properties. Albert Campbell, reeve of the neighbouring suburb of Scarborough, criticized Goodhead's actions: "imagine talking about sending township officials into private homes and padlocking them, then ordering workmen to rip out plumbing and the like."
In 1964, Goodhead ran for a fourth term as reeve but was defeated by James Ditson Service, who accused Goodhead of authoritarianism and ran against him as a reformer. He also accused Goodhead of being in a conflict of interest as North York's garbage disposal contract was with a private business operated by Goodhead.
He was a mentor to Paul Godfrey, whose mother managed Goodhead's election campaigns, and who would succeed Campbell as Metro Chairman in 1975. When Goodhead died, Godfrey eulogized him as "one of the original people that got North York out of the short-pants era to becoming a full-fledged municipality."

Social cleansing
In certain societies there are groups of people, who think that certain people should not be part of that society. These people who are seen as "undesirable" are then either killed, or they are driven away. This is known as social cleansing. Examples of such groups seen as undesirable are homeless people, street children, criminals,the elderly, and people with disabilities. Very often, these ideas also touch sex workers, people who are homosexual, or who have a gender identity outside the clearly defined male, or clearly defined female spectrum. Wanting to do social cleansing is caused by a combination of economic and social factors, but killings are mostly present in regions with high levels of poverty or were there are very few very rich, and the rest of the poulation is poor. Perpetrators are usually of the same community as the victims. Very often, they think that the victims are a drain on the resources of society. Efforts by national and local governments to stop these killings have been largely ineffective. The government and police forces are often involved in the killings, especially in South America.
According to the National Center of Historic Memory the city of Cali in Colombia is most affected by these massacres. Between 1998 and 2013, about 5.000 people have been killed in social cleansing operations; 77% of the cillings were done by special groups doing the cleansing, 18% were killed by paramilitary groups, and 5% were killed by unidentified groups.
A report by Vice News states that the police is often involved, and leads to the homeless seeking shelter in the most remote areas of the canalisation: "They come here all the time. they get you and take you to the police station. There they beat youu up, and they sprinkle you with a strong water jet. They tell you you are good for social cleansing, but they don't tell you when it will happen.
When the aggressors cannot reach them, they have another stategy: they put gasoline in the sewers, and put it on fire. "Six month ago, paramilitary forces came, and put a small girl on fire. They poured gasoline on her and lit her."
Since 2013, different associations point out that the level of social cleansing is increasing again: Most of the time, it is Maya officeholders, and Maya communities fighting for their land, and natural resources, which also interest big companies.In 2013, people defendimg human rights have been attacked 169 times, according to the Unit of protection of defenders of Guatemala.
