The Politicization of the Scarborough Rapid Transit Line in Post-Suburban Toronto
THE ‘TOONERVILLE TROLLEY’: THE POLITICIZATION OF THE SCARBOROUGH RAPID TRANSIT LINE IN POST-SUBURBAN TORONTO Peter Voltsinis 1 “The world is watching.”1 A spokesperson for the Province of Ontario’s (the Province) Urban Transportation Development Corporation (UTDC) uttered those poignant words on March 21, 1985, one day before the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) inaugural opening of the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line.2 One day later, Ontario Deputy Premier Robert Welch gave the signal to the TTC dispatchers to send the line’s first trains into the Scarborough Town Centre Station, proclaiming that it was “a great day for Scarborough and a great day for public transit.”3 For him, the SRT was proof that Ontario can challenge the world.4 This research essay outlines the development of the SRT to carve out an accurate place for the infrastructure project in Toronto’s planning history. I focus on the SRT’s development chronology, from the moment of the Spadina Expressway’s cancellation in 1971 to the opening of the line in 1985. Correctly classifying what the SRT represents in Toronto’s planning history requires a clear vision of how the project emerged. To create that image, I first situate my research within Toronto’s dominant historiographical planning narratives. I then synthesize the processes and phenomena, specifically postmodern planning and post-suburbanization, that generated public transit alternatives to expressway development in Toronto in the 1970s. Building on my synthesis, I present how the SRT fits into that context and analyze the changing landscape of Toronto land-use politics in the 1970s and early-1980s. -
Experiencing Patriarchy Experiencing Patriarchy: Women, Work and Trade Unionism at Eaton's
EXPERIENCING PATRIARCHY EXPERIENCING PATRIARCHY: WOMEN, WORK AND TRADE UNIONISM AT EATON'S BY SANDRA ELIZABETH AYLWARD, B.A. M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Sandra Elizabeth Aylward, September 1991. DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1991) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (Sociology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Experiencing Patriarchy: Women, Work and Trade Unionism at Eaton's. AUTHOR: Sandra Elizabeth Aylward, B.A.(Wilfrid Laurier) M.A.(McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Peta Tancred NUMBER OF PAGES: 345 ii .. • • '· ~· • , • '4' ABSTRACT This research tested the applicability of Sylvia Walby's theoretical model of patriarchy to a case study of women working and unionizing at the T. Eaton Co. The focus was on the two time periods 1947-1952 and 1984-86 when a unionization drive was underway at Eaton's. In depth interviewing was conducted with over ninety participants in the events. Support was found for the aspects of Walby' s model that pertain to patriarchal relations within paid work. In addition, forms of women's resistance and empowerment were examined specifically in relation to the 1984 unionization events. It was found that women's political action contains components that traditional politics do not explain. Overall, the findings of this case study strongly support Walby' s position that gender inequality in society as a whole cannot be understood without the concept of patriarchy (1990). iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I should first like to acknowledge with the deepest respect my supervisor Peta Tancred. Through the long process of "experiencing patriarchy" Peta championed both me and my work and for this I will be forever grateful. -

MS KATZ Memento Books Coll 00459 Katz Memento
MS KATZ Memento Books Coll 00459 Katz Memento Books History of the Mementos Book Two-volume book which consists of 341 paintings, sketches, prints, collages, autographs, partial music scores, poetry and prose collected by Katz, with the help of his wife Johanna, over nearly three decades, from 1970-1998. The book has been rebound twice to make room for additional contributions. It has accompanied the Katzes on their travels across Canada, as well as Cuba, The People’s Republic of China, Mexico, and elsewhere. Among the Canadian contributors: Farley Mowat, Margaret Atwood, Northup Frye, Robertson Davies, Michael Ondaatje, Arthur Lismer, Thoreau MacDonald (a frequent contributor), Leon Bellefleur. Interest contributors: Marc Chagall, Rufino Tamayo, Henry Moore, Andy Warhol, among many others. The first Memento Book was given to Katz by his wife Johanna in the late 1960s. It sat unused in a drawer for many years until early in 1971 when Katz conceived of the idea of “Mementos to Leon,” a book to which various artists he had met and would meet in the future could contribute. The first artist with whom Katz discussed the subject of such a book was Carl Schaefer, and it was Schaefer who contributed the first entry: the pen & ink sketch “The Lilac in Winter at 157 St. Clements Ave.” (p. 5). “Mementos For Leon Katz” – Book I Page Author/Artist, Description, date 1 Thoreau MacDonald, ink sketch of two pines, 1970 2 Blank 3 James Wilson Morrice, pencil sketch: “Luxembourg Gardens, Paris, 1924,” 1924 4 Alfred Joseph (A.J.)

Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.
