Page 5 of 273 AGENDA ITEM #5.1 Deputation to Council on the Macdonald Statue (Nov 17-2020) Very few great national figures who have played a critical role in the development of their country have been without flaws. Many have made questionable decisions in the course of discharging their public responsibilities. Recognizing this acknowledges the complexity of history. Labeling historical figures as “all good”, or “all bad”, contradicts reality, and strongly suggests the promotion of a particular agenda, rather than a meaningful analysis of the facts. We should all strive for a balanced, accurate judgement of history from which we can learn, and which serves to inform future actions. Continuous improvement is essential. We must always strive to do better, while not forgetting how we got here. Learning the whole truth is required to inform a lasting reconciliation with history. Winston Churchill was a great national figure. Very few would dispute that he played a critical role in the defeat of the Axis powers in the Second World War. Widely praised for his war-time leadership, and a hero amongst most of the Western World at the end of the War, he was not a man without significant character flaws, or serious mistakes in judgement. Does this diminish his principal achievements, or cause us to reject his outstanding contributions to world peace? It shouldn’t, and in the minds of most it doesn’t. But Churchill should not be celebrated as some sort of saint or blameless savior of the Free World. His character and actions through a critical period of world history should be examined in the context of his times and judged accordingly on the basis of the known facts. I would hope that reasonable people everywhere could agree that even flawed individuals, who have sometimes made questionable decisions over the course of a long public career, could still be recognized and celebrated for substantial achievements. We should all be capable of making such a balanced judgement. One in which perspective and context are critically important. John A. Macdonald was no Winston Churchill, but he deserves to be judged by history using the same standards. I bring Churchill into our discussion to illustrate that even the most prominent national leaders who have made substantial contributions to the development of their jurisdictions are not immune from 1 Page 6 of 273 AGENDA ITEM #5.1 serious criticism and second-guessing. My point is that our judgement should be capable of balancing the “good” with the “bad”, while not overlooking either.

    “They Demanded — Under Duress — That We Stop Supporting Belinda ​[​Karahalios​]. We Are Appalled at This Bullying An

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report August 20, 2020 Quotation of the day “They demanded — under duress — that we stop supporting Belinda [Karahalios]. We are appalled at this bullying and abuse ​ ​ ​ of power. It is a direct attack on our democracy!” The now-derecognized PC riding association in Cambridge sends out flyers attacking Premier Doug Ford and the PC Party over alleged "intimidation tactics." ​ Today at Queen’s Park Written by Sabrina Nanji On the schedule The house reconvenes on Monday, September 14. The roster for the Select Committee on Emergency Management Oversight — which will scrutinize ongoing extensions of emergency orders via Bill 195 — has been named. The ​ ​ majority-enjoying PC side will feature Bob Bailey, Christine Hogarth, Daryl Kramp, Robin ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Martin, Sam Oosterhoff, Lindsey Park and Effie Triantafilopoulos. The New Democrat ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ members are Gilles Bisson, Sara Singh and Tom Rakocevic; Liberal MPP John Fraser will ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ take up the Independent spot. The committee was struck as an accountability measure because the PCs empowered themselves to amend or extend the emergency orders for up to the next two years, without requiring a vote or debate in the legislature. Bill 195, the enabling law, also requires the premier ​ ​ or a designate of his choosing to appear at the special committee to justify any changes to the sweeping emergency orders. Premier watch An RFP for the next leg of the Eglinton Crosstown tunnelling project will be issued today. Premier Doug Ford announced the move in Mississauga Tuesday alongside cabinet’s ​ ​ transportation overseers Caroline Mulroney and Kinga Surma. ​ ​ ​ ​ Three construction consortiums have already been shortlisted and are now able to present their detailed costing plans to Infrastructure Ontario.

    Monuments and Memories in Ontario, 1850-2001

    FORGING ICONOGRAPHIES AND CASTING COLONIALISM: MONUMENTS AND MEMORIES IN ONTARIO, 1850-2001 By Brittney Anne Bos A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September 2016) Copyright ©Brittney Anne Bos, 2016 ii Abstract Commemorations are a critical window for exploring the social, political, and cultural trends of a specific time period. Over the past two centuries, the commemorative landscape of Ontario reaffirmed the inclusion/exclusion of particular racial groups. Intended as static markers to the past, monuments in particular visually demonstrated the boundaries of a community and acted as ongoing memorials to existing social structures. Using a specific type of iconography and visual language, the creators of monuments imbued the physical markers of stone and bronze with racialized meanings. As builders were connected with their own time periods and social contexts, the ideas behind these commemorations shifted. Nonetheless, creators were intent on producing a memorial that educated present and future generations on the boundaries of their “imagined communities.” This dissertation considers the carefully chosen iconographies of Ontario’s monuments and how visual symbolism was attached to historical memory. Through the examination of five case studies, this dissertation examines the shifting commemorative landscape of Ontario and how memorials were used to mark the boundaries of communities. By integrating the visual analysis of monuments and related images, it bridges a methodological and theoretical gap between history and art history. This dissertation opens an important dialogue between these fields of study and demonstrates how monuments themselves are critical “documents” of the past.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report March 8, 2019 Quotation of the day “Lisa, listen to us!” A woman yells at Children Services Minister Lisa MacLeod as she’s escorted from the chamber ​ ​ while hundreds descended on the south lawn in protest of the PC’s revamped autism system. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule MPPs are heading back to their ridings for the March Break constituency week. The House is adjourned until Monday, March 18. Thursday’s debates and proceedings MPPs considered Bill 74, People’s Health Care Act, before question period. The legislation to ​ ​ ​ ​ establish an Ontario Health super-agency needs roughly two more hours of debate before a second-reading vote can be called. A Tory backbench bill and motion, as well as inaugural Ontario Green legislation, chugged forward during the afternoon’s private members’ business: ● PC MPP Christine Hogarth’s Bill 65, Protecting Our Pets Act, will go under the ​ ​ ​ ​ microscope at the Standing Committee on Justice Policy. The bill would establish an advisory committee to report on the quality of care for companion animals kept for entertainment, breeding, exhibition, boarding, hire or sale. ● PC MPP Donna Skelly’s motion — calling on the government to design a plan to ​ ​ ​ ​ promote a no-cost program that encourages unwanted clothing and textiles be donated to local charitable and non-profit organizations — passed after debate. (Motions are non-binding but have symbolic value — and Skelly’s got a dedicated hashtag from the premier: “#DontDumpDonate.) ​ ​ ● Green Leader Mike Schreiner’s Bill 71, Paris Galt Moraine Conservation Act, to protect ​ ​ ​ ​ the drinking water supply in Guelph, Wellington County and Waterloo region, is off to be studied by the general government committee.
