  • Homophobic Hate Propaganda in Canada
    \\server05\productn\G\GHS\5-1\GHS107.txt unknown Seq: 1 17-MAY-07 8:17 Homophobic Hate Propaganda in Canada Dr. Ellen Faulkner [email protected] I. INTRODUCTION While the typical hate crime is perceived to be of a violent nature perpetrated by individuals connected to Nazi and neo-Nazi groups and white supremacists, a more insidious form of hatred exists in the form of hate propaganda (Kinsella 1994; Martin 1995; Sher 1983; Sunahara 1981; Abella and Trooper 1982; Barrett 1987; Betcherman 1975; Bolaria and Li 1985; Frideres 1976). In Canada “hate messages take a variety of forms including flaming crosses, heckling at memorial services, music, and dese- cration of synagogues, mosques, or temples” (Commission for Racial Equality 1999, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). “In the winter of 1992, a lone protestor at an Ontario university disrupted a Kristallnacht (night of broken glass) ceremony in memory of the 1938 attack by Nazi soldiers on Jewish homes and businesses” (Gillis 1993, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). And “on a May 1993 weekend in London, Ontario, 40 members of the Ku Klux Klan—men, women, and children wearing white robes and conical hats—attended a cross-burning ceremony to celebrate the white race on a private property” (Swainson and Small 1993, quoted in Kazarian 1998, 204). In 1994, a skinhead in Toronto was sentenced to four years in prison for beating a Tamil immigrant into paralysis. Just before the attack, the man had attended a racist rock concert where he was inspired by such lyrics as “These boots are made for stompin’.

It all starts when a patient comes through the doors at CHEO. Whether it’s a minor sprain, or the beginning of a complex medical journey to treat a rare disease, there is One Team that immediately springs into action! Their goal is to make that child the healthiest they can be. From assessment in triage through to discharge and follow-up treatment, a myriad of professionals and processes are in place to ensure each patient receives the best family- centered health care.

We would be remiss if we did not include the most important person when listing the team members responsible for CHEO’s proficiency in pediatric health care – YOU! At the CHEO Foundation it is our belief that the words “foundation” and “community” are interchangeable. Without the support of people in our communities, the medical professionals at CHEO would not have the specialized equipment that allows them to deal with a vast array of medical challenges. From treating a tiny, sick baby still in the womb, to a teen with a chronic illness, CHEO is there thanks to you.

All candidates had an opportunity to answer the ques- tions, and all attempted to do so. The mayoral candidateswho attended the meeting, Bob Chiarelli, Alex Munter, Piotr Anweiler, Jane Scharf, Barkley Pollock and Larry O'Brien, all had three minutes for their opening statements and to answer questions posed by the moderator, Anne Scotton. These included their posi- tion on the LRT, the future of the city centre, Smart Growth and property tax assessments. Bob Chiarelli spoke about his introduction of an om- budsman who condemned the present MPAC system for as- sessing property, and the need to finish the LRT job. Alex Munter spoke immediately after him, saying that he was in L-R: Clive Doucet, Ian Boyd, Brian Carroll, Jan D'Arcy, Jay Nordenstrom Photo: Etienne Ranger favour of completing the LRT but rethinking the plan for it. and Sean Curran Munter blamed Chiarelli for the urban sprawl in Ottawa.

  • Raising Canada: a Call to Action
    A CALL TO ACTION Our collective fate as a nation rests in the wellbeing of our children. The decisions we make today regarding our youngest citizens have immediate and long-lasting effects on the health and wellbeing of our country. A nation cannot prosper if it fails to invest in its children. Which raises the question – what is the state of Canada’s children, and what are the implications for the future of our nation? A new study conducted by the O’Brien Institute for Public Health for Children First Canada suggests that there are deeply worrisome trends that require immediate action. While many Canadians think of this as being one of the best places in the world to raise a child, Canada ranks 25th out of 41 wealthy nations for child wellbeing, according to UNICEF. There are nearly 8 million children and youth below the age of 18, representing nearly a quarter of Canada’s population. Many kids are doing just fine, but far too many young lives are in jeopardy: • Canada’s rate of infant mortality is among the highest of OECD countries, with the rates for Nunavut being three times higher than the national average. • Accidents continue to be the leading cause of death of children in Canada, and each year thousands of children are hospitalized due to preventable injuries. • Suicide is the second leading cause of death for children and youth, and Canada is ranked in the top five countries for the highest child suicide rates globally. • Hospitalizations and Emergency Department visits for mental health concerns have increased considerably over the past decade.

  • Ottawa Votes: Who Spent What to Get Elected in 2014
    Ottawa votes: Who spent what to get elected in 2014 Matthew Pearson, Ottawa Citizen Joanne Chianello, Ottawa Citizen Published on: March 27, 2015 | Last Updated: March 27, 2015 9:24 PM EDT A trio of east-end city councillors outspent all of their colleagues to get elected last year, according to campaign financial statements released Friday. Orléans Coun. Bob Monette spent more than $31,000 to secure his third term on council, while Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais spent about a thousand dollars less than that to win a second term. Rookie Innes Coun. Jody Mitic spent just over $30,000 to win his seat. Meanwhile, Jim Watson spent more than 14 times what his nearest rival, Mike Maguire, did in the mayor’s race. Watson’s campaign spent $321,781 compared to Maguire’s $22,505. Candidates had until Friday at 2 p.m. to file their financial statements. Those who spent or received more than $10,000 during the campaign were also required under the Municipal Elections Act to file audited financial statements at the time of filing. Otherwise, they would be in default and cannot run in the next municipal election. Catherine Bergeron, head of Elections Ottawa, said she did not have a complete list yet, but said former Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark and River ward candidate Mike Patton did not provide audited statements. “Even though we have some paperwork from them, they are in default because their paperwork was not complete,” she said. Failing to get statements audited also means contributors to those candidates are ineligible for the city’s rebate program, Bergeron said.
