In February 2016 , Karygiannis brought up the possibility of banning recording artist Beyoncé from Canada . The Super Bowl 50 halftime entertainer had a routine which paid tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Black Panthers . Karygiannis went public with his interpretation of the routine as " anti-policy " and " pro-gun culture " . Karygiannis also said " All lives matter . " In May 2016 , Karygiannis put forward a motion to the Toronto City Council to recognize a ' Pontian genocide ' . The motion claimed that " 450,000 – 750,000 Pontian and Anatolian Greeks were executed " . What Karygiannis was actually referring to was the Greek Genocide as the death toll in Pontus did not exceed 350,000 . The motion also claimed that the genocide was the first of the 20th century , which is false . The Herero and Namaqua genocide is widely considered as the first genocide of the 20th century
