However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

  • Japanese Canadians in the Arts Bryce Kanbara
    Japanese Canadians in the arts Bryce Kanbara 1. dark clouds of half a century In 1942, for reasons that have been proven to be racist and opportunistic, Japanese Canadians were forcibly uprooted from their homes on the West Coast of Canada. Over 26,000 people were affected. Families were split apart, sent to internment camps, prisoner of war camps, road work sites, and sugar beet farms. They lost their civil liberties, personal property, buildings, land, their institutions, their communities and ways of life. When the war ended in 1945, Japanese Canadians were given the choice of living east of the Rockies or being sent to Japan. 4,000 chose to go Japan – in the language of the day, they “repatriated.” In reality, they were deported. Most had never been to Japan, and found themselves in a defeated, war-ravaged country. Japanese Canadians who remained in Canada dispersed widely, with many eventually coming to live in Ontario. Post-war, most Japanese Canadians downplayed ethnicity. They did not try to establish a “Japantown,” as there had been in Vancouver’s Powell Street district. When they resettled in Eastern cities such as Hamilton and Toronto, they sought homes that were not close to one another as a means of protection against future harms. They did not speak about the 1940s to their children or teach them the Japanese language. They strove to blend in, to de-marginalize themselves, or in another framing, to assimilate. Essay accompanying Being Japanese Canadian: reflections on a broken world ROM Exhibition, February 2 to August 5, 2019 1 Japanese Canadians did this with abundant success.

    BC Today – Daily Report February 12, 2020 Quotation of the day “Peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right in our society.” Government house leader Mike Farnworth says demonstrators who disrupted proceedings at ​ ​ the B.C. legislature yesterday had every right. Today in B.C. On the schedule The house will convene at 1:30 p.m. for question period. The government will hold its weekly cabinet meeting in the morning. Legislature protests postpone prorogation Hundreds of protestors took to the legislature grounds on Tuesday morning to join an ongoing action by Indigenous youth who have occupied the ceremonial gate for several days. They blocked politicians, government employees and press gallery reporters from entering the building. The morning’s prorogation was postponed until the afternoon, and Premier John Horgan’s ​ ​ scheduled media availability was cancelled. Despite the disruption, government house leader Mike Farnworth said most MLAs and staff ​ ​ were able to make it into the building. He emphasized — as did Premier John Horgan in a ​ ​ statement — that people have the right to peaceful protest. ​ “This is the people's house, this is a place where protest takes place,” Farnworth said of the morning’s events. “It's not the first time a protest has happened on this legislature, and I know it won't be the last time.” BC Liberal Party Leader Andrew Wilkinson said the disruptive demonstrations at the ​ ​ legislature and around the province were a case of the NDP’s “chickens coming home to roost.” “This should have been addressed two years ago with a clear and mandated approach to resolving the situation,” he told reporters.
