Fig. 1. The Ontario Film and Video Appreciation Society (OFVAS) presenting its brief at public hearings on a new film classification law held at Queen’s Park, Toronto, Ontario, December 4-5, 1984. L-R: David Poole (CFMDC), Anna Gronau (The Funnel), Cyndra MacDowell (CARO). Photo by John Porter. “Ontario is getting out of the film censorship business,” announced the headline of the December 10, 2004 Toronto Star.2 This, after Glad Day Bookshop, a small retailer specializing in queer literature and videotapes, won a decisive legal battle against the Ontario Film Review Board (OFRB).3 Glad Day Bookshop appealed its previous conviction for illegally distributing the sexually-explicit video, Descent, by “renowned” American filmmaker, Steven Scarborough.4 The bookshop called upon the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms to overturn a provincial regulation—the Theatres Act—which required that all videos and films be either approved by the OFRB, be partially censored, or altogether banned. Despite Glad Day Bookshop’s successful legal challenge to the Act and the OFRB, the Star headline was totally erroneous; as of today, the OFRB has retained its powers for the prior restraint and banning of film and video in Ontario. In this essay, I map a number of interventions and contests around the regulation of video and film from the 1980s until the present.

  • Vancouver by Tina Gianoulis
    Vancouver by Tina Gianoulis Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2006 glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Cosmopolitan Vancouver, nestled on Canada's west coast in a picturesque triangle between English Bay, Burrard Inlet, and the Fraser River, has developed in less than 200 years from a frontier outpost in an untamed land to one of the fastest-growing cities in North America. With a constant influx of immigrants and a vigorous and adaptable economy, Vancouver is a progressive city with a large and active queer community. That community began organizing in the 1960s, with the founding of Canada's first homophile organization, and has continued into the 2000s, as activists work to protect queer rights and develop queer culture. With its sheltered location, fertile farmland, and rich inland waterways, the southwestern corner of British Columbia's mainland attracted settlers from a variety of native cultures for over three thousand years. More than twenty tribes, including the Tsawwassen and Musqueam, comprised the Stó:lo Nation, the "People of the Water," who farmed and fished the Fraser River Valley before the arrival of European explorers in the late eighteenth century. From the first European trading post, established by the Hudson Bay Company in 1827, the small community soon grew into a boomtown with a thriving economy based on its lumber and mining industries, fisheries, and agriculture. By the late 1800s, the settlement had become a hub for a newly developing railroad network, and in 1886, the City of Vancouver was incorporated. The city grew rapidly, tripling its population within a few decades and spawning a construction boom in the early 1900s.

  • A Defining Year
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A DEFINING YEAR QMUNITY at Pride Parade Photo credit: QMUNITY A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Over the last 35 years so much has changed. In 1969 we were considered criminals, and pathologized for being queer. In 2014 Laverne Cox, an openly trans, African-American woman, graces the cover of Time Magazine. The world is changing, and our organization continues to change alongside it—yet at our core, the mission remains the same. QMUNITY continues to exist to improve queer and trans lives. QMUNITY Receiving City of Vancouver Award of Excellence for Diversity and Inclusion Diversity for of Excellence Award Vancouver of City Receiving QMUNITY Vancouver of City credit: Photo 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Despite the advancement in legal equalities, many people continue to struggle to come out at school, work, or in the home. We are changing that. By ensuring that every single person has an opportunity to feel safe, included, and free from discrimination, we are translating our legal equalities into lived equalities. We know there is still work to be done. In 2014, we reached over 43,000 people, a 23% increase from 2013. We were able to increase our impact by expanding our full-time staff from 8 people to 11 people. This was in large part to our supporters, who helped us increase our budget by 14.6%. But those are just the numbers. Community happens when we celebrate our seniors at the annual Honouring Our Elders Tea, provide 860 hours of free professional counselling, or by advocating for trans friendly schools at the Vancouver School Board.

  • Knowledge Reifying Force-Intention-Harm K(F+I+H): the Nature and Structure of Crime
    Fall 08 Journal of Theoretical and Philosophical Criminology Nature and Structure of Crime 2011, Vol. 3 9(1):110-132 Boyanowsky & Yasayko Knowledge Reifying Force-Intention-Harm K(F+I+H): The Nature and Structure of Crime A Multidimensional Theoretical Model Ehor Boyanowsky & Jonathan Yasayko Simon Fraser University Abstract Violence is regarded as a negative phenomenon and confused with aggression in social science to the detriment of analysis of their causes. We argue that violence is a natural phenomenon occupying a meaningfully different ecological space from aggression which involves elements of intention and harm and propose an eclectic multidimensional model encompassing both social construction and physical observation of violence for comparison and analysis of the structure of crime. A 70 year old pensioner awakens to find an intruder, a big, young, shaggy haired man, carrying an object, wandering through his house. In a panic he reaches into a drawer and grabbing his revolver, fires repeatedly, killing the unknown assailant. Still shaking, he calls the police. The old man is charged with murder. Why? Where does he live? In the play, Mother Courage and Her Children (Brecht, 1994) a sturdy matriarch halts her caravan at an execution site in the French countryside, realizing with horror that the man bound at the stake is her son. He explains, bemusedly, that he doesn‟t understand what is going on. Last week he had been raiding villages, raping and killing and pillaging and been commended by his commanding officers. This week he did the same thing and has been condemned to death. What is going on? In the 1980s the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution (the Fraser Commission) held hearings across Canada regarding the public‟s attitude toward pornography.

  • Gentrification Reconsidered: the Case of the Junction
    Gentrification Reconsidered: The Case of The Junction By: Anthony Ruggiero Submitted: July 31th, 2014 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies (Urban Planning) Faculty of Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada __________________________ ___________________________ Anthony Ruggiero John Saunders, PhD MES Candidate Supervisor ii Abstract This paper examines the factors responsible for the gentrification of The Junction, a west-end neighbourhood located on the edge of downtown Toronto. After years of neglect, degradation and deindustrialization, The Junction is currently in the midst of being gentrified. Through various forms of neighbourhood upgrading and displacement, gentrification has been responsible for turning a number working-class Toronto neighbourhoods into middle-class enclaves. The Junction is unique in this regard because it does not conform to past theoretical perspectives regarding gentrification in Toronto. Through the use of an instrumental case-study, various factors responsible for The Junction’s gentrification are examined and a number of its indicators that are present in the neighbourhood are explored so that a solid understanding regarding the neighbourhood’s gentrification can be realized. What emerges is a form of ‘user-friendly’ or ‘community-driven’ gentrification that places emphasis on neighbourhood revitalization and community inclusion, as opposed to resident displacement
