  • Joint Statement Calling for Sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong Officials and Protection for Hong Kongers at Risk of Political Persecution
    Joint statement calling for sanctioning of Chinese and Hong Kong officials and protection for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Canada to take action in light of the mass arrests and assault on civil rights following the unilateral imposition of the new National Security Law in Hong Kong. Many in Hong Kong fear they will face the same fate as the student protestors in Tiananmen Square, defenders’ lawyers, and millions of interned Uyghurs, Tibetans, and faith groups whose rights of free expression and worship are denied. We urge the Government of Canada to offer a “Safe Harbour Program” with an expedited process to grant protection and permanent residency status to Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution under the National Security Law, including international students and expatriate workers who have been involved in protest actions in Canada. Furthermore, Canada must invoke the Sergei Magnitsky Law to sanction Chinese and Hong Kong officials who instituted the National Security Law, as well as other acts violating human rights; and to ban them and their immediate family members from Canada and freeze their Canadian assets. Canada needs to work closely with international allies with shared values to institute a strong policy toward China. It is time for Canada to take meaningful action to show leadership on the world stage.

  • 61 Carlton Street – Macdonald House ("Dalnavert") C.H
    61 CARLTON STREET – MACDONALD HOUSE ("DALNAVERT") C.H. Wheeler, 1895 For nearly a century, Dalnavert has remained an eclectic, yet elegant, survivor of what was once Winnipeg's foremost residential district on the southern edge of the downtown. The two-storey dwelling occupies a site that was part of a reserve retained by the Hudson's Bay Company around Upper Fort Garry following the transfer of Rupert's Land to Canada in 1869-70. The company used large-lot subdivision, building restrictions and other means to encourage an exclusive neighbourhood stretching west along Broadway from Main Street. That strategy attracted leading business and professional families, including lawyer-politician Hugh John Macdonald, son of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Hugh John (1850-1929) had been raised by relatives in Toronto and Kingston after his mother died. He first came west with the 1870 Wolseley Expedition sent to Fort Garry to quell the Red River Rebellion. He later resumed law studies in Ontario, then practised for a decade in his father's firm © City of Winnipeg 1980 before resettling in Winnipeg in 1882 and beginning a new partnership with barrister J. Stewart Tupper, son of another Father of Confederation. Reluctant to enter active politics, Macdonald nonetheless was pressed to run in the 1891 national election as Conservative candidate for South Winnipeg. He won and joined a government led by his father. Sir John A. died soon afterward, however, and by mid-term Hugh John had resigned his seat. Again under pressure to help the party in the West, he briefly returned to Ottawa as an appointee to cabinet, then contested the 1896 election.

Grebstad: Outpost Outpost The Dominion of Canada’s Colonial Garrison in Manitoba, 1870 to 1877 DAVID GREBSTAD Abstract : Military garrisons were a common requirement of empires, ancient or modern, in order to secure and maintain their imperial authority in colonies. Nineteenth century Canada was no different. When the Dominion of Canada annexed the North-Western interior of North America in 1870, it acquired a peripheral colony to be exploited by the economic, political, and cultural metropole of central Canada. Between 1870-1877, the Dominion maintained a garrison of Active Militia in what is now Winnipeg to pre-empt external aggression, bring order to the frontier, and conduct policing duties in the rough and tumble nascent Province of Manitoba. ILITARY GARRISONS were a common requirement of empires, Mancient or modern, in order to secure and maintain their imperial authority in colonies. The British Empire was no different as throughout the modern period, but most especially in the nineteenth century, the British maintained an expansive network of garrisons to secure their colonies around the world.
