Relationships: Designing a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation,” held at Massey College. The Queen’s Chapel Royal near Deseronto and The Queen’s Chapel Royal in Brantford are associated with the Mohawk. The Chapel Royal at Massey College is the first to be associated with the Anishinaabek. The Queen’s Anishinaabek Sacred Place • St. Catherine’s Chapel • Massey College 1 The notion of a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation was based directly on Action 45 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which reads in part: We call upon the Government of Canada, on behalf of all Canadians, to jointly develop with Aboriginal peoples a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation to be issued by the Crown. The proclamation would build on the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Treaty of Niagara of 1764, and reaffirm the nation-to-nation relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Crown. Massey College is located on traditional treaty territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The College determined to take an active role to further the cause of Truth and Reconciliation by establishing a venue that would promote reconciliation between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of Canada. The Chapel Royal at Massey College is that venue. With its new designation, the space will be used to acknowledge the history of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and its ratification through the 1764 Treaty of Niagara. The treaty, through its association with the Silver Covenant Chain of Friendship, represented a relationship of respect between Indigenous nations and the Crown in the Great Lakes Region. 2 Gi-Chi-Twaa Gimaa Kwe Mississauga Anishinaabek AName Amik In the Service of Truth and Reconciliation Under the guidance of Elder Carolyn Presenting tobacco bundles to In his letter of support for The King and Chief Stacey Laforme of the Elders, Chiefs, teachers and all Chapel Royal, Chief Stacey Laforme Mississaugas, Massey College other members of the Indigenous of the Mississaugas of the Credit brought together a group of Senior community is an important protocol stated: and Junior Fellows and Quadranglers observed at The Chapel Royal. to decorate The Chapel Royal so In turn, offering tobacco bundles My people’s ancestors were that it reflects the partnership to all guests who visit the chapel at Niagara when the Silver between the College and the recalls the ancient and enduring Covenant Chain of Friendship Mississaugas, as well as the historic Silver Covenant Chain of Friendship was extended into these lands relationship between Indigenous between the Sovereign and over 250 years ago.

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine.

    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.

  • “The Risk of a Carbon Tax Recession Is Very Real.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 22, 2019 Quotation of the day “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real.” Premier Doug Ford takes fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop in an Economic Club ​ ​ speech. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. In the park Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell hosted the Lincoln M. Alexander Awards ​ ​ ceremony in the LG Suite Monday afternoon. The award honours young folks who have made a difference in their community when it comes to eliminating racial discrimination and promoting social equality. This year’s winners are Manaal Chasso, Lisa Wang and Fiqir Worku, and you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can read more about their projects here. ​ ​ Ford: Beware “carbon tax recession” The premier took fresh aim at Ottawa’s carbon backstop Monday, saying it will trigger a recession in Ontario. Speaking to more than 1,000 business-minded people at an Economic Club luncheon at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Premier Doug Ford warned of tough economic times ahead ​ ​ thanks to the federal government’s carbon pricing. “A carbon tax will be a total economic disaster and there are already economic warning signs on the horizon,” Ford said in his prepared remarks. “There couldn’t be a worse time to impose a massive, job-killing tax on Ontario families and small businesses.” “The risk of a carbon tax recession is very real,” Ford said. But critics were skeptical. NDP environment and climate change critic Peter Tabuns accused Ford of “making things up to ​ ​ justify cash handouts to big polluters,” a reference to the $400-million taxpayer-funded “carbon trust” in the PC’s new climate action plan, which incentivizes businesses to reduce emissions.
