  • Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act
    Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act Designated Properties Last Updated: 2021 1 Background In Ontario, the conservation of cultural heritage resources is considered a matter of public interest. Significant heritage resources must be conserved. The Ontario Heritage Act gives municipalities and the provincial government powers to preserve the heritage of Ontario. The primary focus of the Act is the protection of heritage buildings, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to designate such properties if they hold “cultural heritage value or interest”. Municipal heritage designations are enacted by City Council through the passing of a by-law. Once a property is designated, it gains public recognition as well as a measure of protection from demolition or unsympathetic alteration. Designation helps guide future change to the property so that the cultural heritage value of the property can be maintained. There are two types of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act: designation of individual properties (known as Part IV designation), and designation of unique and important streetscapes, areas or "heritage conservation districts" (known as Part V designation). Any real property that has cultural heritage value or interest can be designated, including houses, barns, factories, cemeteries, parks, bridges, trees, gardens, hedgerows, fences, monuments, churches, woodlots, historic sites and the list goes on. Heritage designation is based on provincially regulated criteria (Ontario Heritage Act, O. Reg. 9/06), which includes design or physical value, historical or associative value, and/or contextual value. Heritage designation can be based on meeting one or more of these three broad criteria.

  • Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
    CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense.

  • 2013 FC 1283 Ottawa, Ontario, December 23, 2013 PRESENT
    Date: 20131223 Docket: T-447-09 Citation: 2013 FC 1283 Ottawa, Ontario, December 23, 2013 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Zinn BETWEEN: 2013 FC 1283 (CanLII) CANADIAN ARAB FEDERATION (CAF) Applicant and THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT AND JUDGMENT [1] This is an application for judicial review by the Canadian Arab Federation [CAF] of a decision by The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, then Jason Kenney [the Minister], not to enter into a funding agreement under the Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada [LINC] program for the year 2009-2010. This decision was made by the Minister despite the fact that Citizenship and Immigration Canada [CIC] had previously entered into similar funding arrangements with CAF for many years; the most recent of which expired March 30, 2009, just days after the decision under review was made. Page: 2 [2] The reasons for the Minister’s decision are set out in a letter to CAF dated March 18, 2009, from the Associate Assistant Deputy Minister of CIC to Khaled Mouammar, President of CAF at that time: As you are also aware, serious concerns have arisen with respect to certain public statements that have been made by yourself or other officials of the CAF. These statements have included the promotion of hatred, anti-semitism [sic] and support for the banned terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah. 2013 FC 1283 (CanLII) The objectionable nature of these public statements – in that they appear to reflect the CAF’s evident support for terrorist organizations and positions on its part which are arguably anti-Semitic – raises serious questions about the integrity of your organization and has undermined the Government’s confidence in the CAF as an appropriate partner for the delivery of settlement services to newcomers.

  • Address to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’S Session
    OSCE Conference on Combating Discrimination and Promoting Mutual Respect and Understanding - PC.NGO/27/07 Follow-up to the Cordoba Conference on Anti-Semitism and Other Forms of Intolerance 14 June 2007 Romania, Bucharest, 7 - 8 June 2007 Plenary Session 2 ENGLISH only Address to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Session on Islamophobia Mohamed Boudjenane Executive Director Canadian Arab Federation Dear Mr. Chairman, I am sorry to be the last one to speak in this session tonight, but I will try to be quick. I am now wearing my hat as the representative of the Canadian Arab Federation (CAF), and also the board member of the Steering Committee of the National Anti-racism Coalition of Canada. I have to say that I am very shocked after hearing the minister speak earlier today, that he completely ignored the challenges faced by the Arab and the Muslim community in Canada. This is more shocking coming from a government who just recently had to apologize on behalf of the Canadian population to Maher Arar and his family, for the ordeal they were put through. The government recognizes the Canadian Security Agency’s responsibility in sending Maher Arar for one year to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured. This is again surprising from the government who just launched another public inquiry in the cases of three other Arab Muslim men who went through the same injustices as Maher Arar. Arabs and Muslims are currently one of the most targeted groups by Racism, Intolerance, and Islamophobia. A recent pool conducted by a major media outlet revealed that Arabs are the most hated ethnic group in Canada.

  • CAF, Jason Kenney, and Principles of Government Funding
    Factsheet: CAF, Jason Kenney, and principles of government funding Factsheet Series No. 55, Created: March, 2009, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East What is the Canadian Arab Federation and what does it stand for? The Canadian Arab Federation (CAF) is composed of over 40 member organizations and strives to raise awareness of issues impacting the Canadian Arab community. Its activities and projects include integration programs and language programs for new immigrants (of all origins), publications and education, public awareness, media relations and non-partisan government relations. CAF focuses on issues of interest to Canadian Arabs, both domestically and internationally. The CAF website states that the federation’s core values are: 1. The protection of civil liberties and the equality of human rights; 2. Combating racism and hate in all of its forms; 3. Working with all politicians and all levels of government on issues of importance to Canadian Arabs to promote community empowerment through civic participation; 4. Assuring the accurate representation of Arabs in the media, and in all areas of civil society; 5. A strong, vibrant multicultural Canada. CAF has long been critical of Canada’s support of Israel despite Israel’s longstanding record of human and humanitarian rights violations. CAF’s President, Khaled Mouammar, has referred to the state of Israel as the “Israeli Apartheid Regime,” and CAF has repeatedly supported boycott and divestment campaigns directed 1 2 at Israel. CAF receives $447,000 in funding from the government to run settlement programs in Toronto for new immigrants. None of this money funds any of CAF’s political activities.

  • Solidarity and the Silencing of Palestinian Narratives I I
    1'"' Outside the Mi.ilticultural: Solidarity and the Silencing of Palestinian Narratives I I RAFEEF ZIADAH ·I A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO : THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL°FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO October, 2013 © Rafeef Ziadah, 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines a series of efforts by the Canadian state to silence and censor the Palestine Solidarity Movement (PSM), particularly activism engaged in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, in the years following the second Palestinian uprising (Intifada) of 2000. Following a delineation of the broad contours of Canada's official multicultural policy, the dissertation seeks to interrogate multicultural policy's inability to·accommodate Palestinian narratives relating to the struggle for Palestinian self-det~rmination. The analysis explores the central contradiction between the multicultural st*e's self-construction as accommodating and even celebrating cultural difference, and Canada's adoption and deployment of the discourse of clash of civilizations and the War on Terror. Rooted in a critique of liberal theories of the state and an understanding of Canada as a racial state embedded in neoliberal global hierarchies as a second tier imperialist state, this study reveals the ways in which notions of "tolerance" may be used to establish boundaries and markers of belonging. Moments of erasure and silencing are analyzed as racializing moments, whereby the state reveals its class and racial character in both domestic and international spheres. Specifically, the manifestations of anti-Arab, anti­ Muslim racism in Canada are interrogated. The silencing campaign against the Palestine Solidarity Movement demonstrates the role official multicultural policy has played in obfuscating this racism.
