Sales increased 6% to $29.2 billion and operating income increased 8% to $1.8 billion for the year. Basic net earnings per common share increased 15% to $5.80 from the $5.05 reported in 2002. Excellent results in Canada by both Weston Foods and Loblaw Companies Limited were difficult to duplicate in the present operating environment in the United States baking sector, which remains challenging. Weston Foods sales decreased 6% to $4.5 billion, with foreign currency translation negatively impacting sales by approximately 9%. Operating income was 9% behind 2002, including the impacts of foreign currency translation, the restructuring charge of $35 million recognized in 2003 and net stock-based compensation cost, which negatively impacted operating income by approximately 11%. On a comparable basis, both sales and operating income improved over 2002. Our continuing focus in the United States is to streamline facilities, improve productivity in both manufacturing and distribution, direct product development toward ‘healthy’ products and grow our sales through our core retail and fast-growing alternate format customer base.

Our brands throughout North America remain strong and widely recognized for quality and service. We continue to invest in these brands to position our Company as the most efficient bakery and dairy business in North America. Weston’s Food Distribution segment, operated by 62%-owned Loblaw Companies Limited, continued its strong performance trend as Canada’s leading and most successful food distributor. Sales for the year were up 9.3% to $25 billion, with same-store sales growth of 4.6% and an operating income increase of 13% to $1.5 billion. A further investment of $1.3 billion was made to prepare the Company for future growth. Excellent progress was made in a number of important areas during the year: in the way the company is organized; in its store models; in the assortment of food and general merchandise offerings; in support services; and in its relationship with organized labour.

  • Retitling, Cultural Appropriation, and Aboriginal Title
    1 Retitling, Cultural Appropriation, and Aboriginal Title by Michel-Antoine Xhignesse Capilano University [email protected] This is a penultimate draft. Please cite the final version: Xhignesse, Michel-Antoine (2021). Retitling, Cultural Appropriation, and Aboriginal Title. British Journal of Aesthetics 61 (3) :317-333. Abstract: In 2018, the Art Gallery of Ontario retitled a painting by Emily Carr which contained an offensive word. Controversy ensued, with some arguing that unsanctioned changes to a work’s title infringe upon artists’ moral and free speech rights. Others argued that such a change serves to whitewash legacies of racism and cultural genocide. In this paper, I show that these concerns are unfounded. The first concern is not supported by law or the history of our titling practices; and the second concern misses the mark by ignoring the gallery’s substantial efforts to avoid just such an outcome. Picking up on a suggestion from Loretta Todd, I argue that we can use Aboriginal Title as a model for thinking about the harms perpetuated by cultural appropriation, and the practices we should adopt to mitigate them. 2 Retitling, Cultural Appropriation, and Aboriginal Title 1. Introduction In 2018, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) retitled a painting by Emily Carr: formerly known as The Indian Church (1929), it is now called Church at Yuquot Village.1 The move sparked controversy nationwide: some worried that changing a work’s artist-given title changes its associated work, and that such unsanctioned changes to a work infringe upon artists’ moral rights; others worried that the change papered over Canada’s shameful history of Indigenous-Crown (and -settler) relations, including the state’s legacy of cultural genocide.

  • Solid Foundations on Common Ground: Nevis' Multiform
    Solid Foundations on Common Ground: Nevis’ Multiform Foundations Ordinance Jan Dash, Esq., L.E.C., TEP Liburd and Dash, Attorneys-at-Law www.LiburdDash.com [email protected] “Solid Foundations on Common Ground” © 2008 Jan Dash, Esq., L.E.C.,TEP. All rights reserved. For a free download of this article, please visit www.LiburdDash.com. Foundations. The legal entity known as a “foundation” has been a well- established vehicle in the civil law countries of Europe since the Middle Ages. The church, one of the most powerful institutions of the era, was frequently given assets by members of its congregation in an effort to further its beneficial mission. It was the goal of these ecclesiastical foundations to promote charitable, scientific and humanitarian objectives in accordance with the religious aims of the church. The societal conventions at the time believed that the church should be concerned solely with matters of faith and not that of asset management. As a result, legal theorists felt that any asset given to the church should have the ability to manage itself and should be classified as a legal person, separate and apart from the church. The uses of charitable foundations have evolved beyond the church and in recent years these entities have been established by affluent members of society to fulfill their philanthropic aims. The Alexander S. Onassis Foundation (the “Onassis Foundation”) was established by the late Aristotle Onassis in 1973 in the name of his predeceased son, to provide funds for education, literature, science and the promotion of Greek culture.1 The world’s wealthiest charity, Stichting INGKA Foundation (the “INGKA Foundation”), which is registered in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles, owns 207 outlets of the multinational furniture store, IKEA.

  • Designing Names: Requisite Identity Labour for Migrants’ Be(Long)Ing in Ontario
    Designing Names: Requisite Identity Labour for Migrants’ Be(long)ing in Ontario by Diane Yvonne Dechief A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Diane Yvonne Dechief 2015 Designing Names: Migrants’ Identity Labour for Be(long)ing in Ontario Diane Yvonne Dechief Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation responds to the question of why people who immigrate to Ontario, Canada frequently choose to use their personal names in altered forms. Between May and December 2010, I engaged in semi-structured interviews with twenty-three people who, while living in Ontario, experienced name challenges ranging from persistent, repetitive misspellings and mispronunciations of their original names to cases of significant name alterations on residency documents, and even to situations of exclusion and discrimination. Drawing on critical perspectives from literature on identity and performativity, science and technology studies, race and immigration, affect, and onomastics (the study of names), I establish that name challenges are a form of “identity labour” required of many people who immigrate to Ontario. I also describe how individuals’ identity labour changes over time. In response to name challenges, and the need to balance between their sometimes-simultaneous audiences, participants design their names for life in Ontario—by deciding which audiences to privilege, they choose where they want to belong, and how their names should be. ii Acknowledgments Thank you very, very much to this study’s participants. You were so generous with your stories, and you articulated your thoughts and your concerns in such novel and passionate ways.
