CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Mayor Rob Ford Seconded by: Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ontario's 24th Lieutenant Governor (1985-1991), the Honourable Lincoln Alexander, on October 19, 2012. Mr. Alexander was born in Toronto in 1922 to West Indian immigrants. As a teenager, he spent three years living with his mother in New York before returning home at age 20 to serve with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. In 1949, Mr. Alexander received a Bachelor of Arts from Hamilton's McMaster University and went on to study law at Toronto's Osgoode Hall Law School. He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1965. Mr. Alexander was elected as a Member of Parliament for Hamilton West in 1968, becoming the country's first black MP elected to the House of Commons. He was re-elected three times, serving in the House of Commons until 1985. Mr. Alexander was appointed Ontario's 24th Lieutenant Governor that same year, a post he held until 1991. The position was one he took very seriously, visiting hundreds of schools and communities across the Province and attending thousands of engagements. He became one of the most highly respected and admired people to ever hold the position. During his long and successful career, Mr. Alexander received a number of honours including the Order of Canada, Order of Ontario, six honorary degrees and a lifetime achievement award from the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. He also had three schools, a police station and an expressway named in his honour. Linc, as he was known to just about everyone, will always be remembered for his leadership, his commitment to the fight for equality, his sense of humour and his love for the people of Ontario. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather whose contributions to our Province will never be forgotten. The City Clerk is requested to convey, on behalf of the Members of Toronto City Council, our sincere sympathy to the Honourable Lincoln Alexander's family. October 30, 2012 .

Ontario Election 2018 Platform Guide
ONTARIO ELECTION 2018 PLATFORM GUIDE Where the parties stand on everything from hydro bills to taxes to transit PLUS: PAUL WELLS ON THE PROBLEM WITH PARTY PROMISES & PROFILES OF THE LEADERS CONTENTS Introduction PLATFORM PRIMERS DEFICITS WORK AND TAXES HYDRO HEALTH CARE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY TRANSPORTATION FEATURES Paul Wells on the problem with party promises Kathleen Wynne feels your pain Are you ready for Premier Ford? How far can Horwath go? lection day in Ontario—June 7—is fast approaching, and voters face a stark Echoice in the three main candidates. Kathleen Wynne and the governing Liber- als are campaigning on the record of their 15 years in office and a budget plan that calls for a massive expansion of government spending and deficits. Andrea Horwath is taking the Ontario NDP into her third elec- tion as party leader by presenting the NDP as the real progressive choice for voters. Meanwhile Doug Ford, the newly-minted and maverick head of the Ontario Progres- sive Conservative Party hopes to harness taxpayer outrage to propel his party to victory. Yet sifting through the platforms to find where the parties stand on key issues can be daunting. To make that task easier, Maclean’s has assembled this platform cheat sheet. Visit Macleans.ca/Ontario2018 for updates. NOTE: Much of the Liberal platform comes from the 2018 Ontario budget, while the NDP have posted their platform online. However, large parts of the Ontario PCs platform remain unknown since the party has not indicated which parts of former leader Patrick Brown’s People’s Guarantee platform are being retained.

Klees Welcomes Leadership Vote After By-Elections
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Oct 1 6:10:01 2021 / +0000 GMT Klees welcomes leadership vote after by-elections By Brock Weir With five provincial ridings up for grabs last Thursday night, Ontario's Progressive Conservatives are wondering just what went wrong. Garnering only one of the ridings ? with Toronto Councillor Doug Holyday carrying the Etobicoke Lakeshore riding ? with two apiece going to the governing Liberals and the NDP, some PCs ? including Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees ? say a leadership review of Tim Hudak will be a positive step in the right direction. Despite efforts leading up to last week's by-elections, party message was lost in the shuffle, says Mr. Klees. It is a common refrain, and one which was heard in the 2011 provincial election, but Mr. Klees says it is going to ?take some time? to get all the analysis in place on what exactly went wrong. A few things at this point, however, are clear. The Progressive Conservatives, he says, were not able to differentiate themselves as a ?clear alternative? to the Liberal government, something which is ?disappointing.? ?We have no one to blame but ourselves which is why, over the next couple of weeks, we have a responsibility to get that feedback from not only our party members but also the general public,? says Mr. Klees, noting a caucus meeting scheduled for the end of the month. There, MPPs will be providing feedback from themselves and their constituents to Mr. Hudak, and then the next step will be up to him.
