I want to live on this street.
Yellowknife NWT, I was there for work many many moons ago, had to snap the pic.I want to live on this street.
Frak our area is full of old Irishmen…now I need to research.
In May, Brant returned to Fort Niagara where, with his new salary and plunder from his raids, he acquired a farm on the Niagara River, six miles (10 km) from the fort. To work the farm and to serve the household, he used slaves captured during his raids. Brant also bought a slave, a seven-year-old African-American girl named Sophia Burthen Pooley. She served him and his family for six years before he sold her to an Englishman named Samuel Hatt for $100. He built a small chapel for the Indians who started living nearby. There he also married for a third time, to Catherine Croghan (as noted above in Marriage section).
The British historian Michael Johnson described the lifestyle of the Anglophile Brant along the Grand as "something of the style of an English squire". Deeply interested in the Anglican church, Brant used his spare time to translate the Gospel of St. Mark from English into Mohawk. He had about twenty white and black servants and slaves. Brant thought the government made too much over the keeping of slaves, as captives were used for servants in Indian practice. He had a good farm of mixed crops and also kept cattle, sheep, and hogs. At one point he owned 40 black slaves.
Exactly. As there is no reasonable end to this process, it should never have been started. It's just a blackhole of money, bureaucracy and special interests.I wonder when they'll rename Brantford and everything Brant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Brant

Was Dundas Street actually named after Dundas?
Screw it, go with boat mcboatface. Might as well make this as stupid as possible.If there’s a referendum and EVERYONE votes for Streety McStreetface, it might just nip it in the bud.
Defund political stupidity? Like the cops. Not intended to fire them all but a hard look at their roles and if portions of what they do should be allocated somewhere else that better serves the end goal (and remove the money for the alternate solution from the original provider as now that they have a smaller scope of work, they can accomplish it with less money).Can we start a petition on how we DON’T want this change? Or will that equate to the organizer of such petition being labeled a racist and having themselves put in danger due to lunacy of the population?

It’s no more than a feel good pat on the back gesture. I expect (and hope) this fails a quick and sudden death when something else comes up for people to be upset about.The reaction against the person trying to bring some balance to the problem is my concern.
As far as the atonement goes it, IMO, is just another bloody symbolic gesture. Whoopee do. We bring ourselves down to their level instead of lifting them up to ours. Does anyone who is using more than one brain cell think some condescending gesture is going to make the failures of the past go away?
I had someone from my distant pass call me to apologize for something they did that was offensive to me fifteen years earlier. It was part of a ten step rehab program they were on. It was very uncomfortable for both of us.
I don't like the term "Defund the police". It is too easy for people to think we're going to cut necessary services. I'll go for "Update the police"Defund political stupidity? Like the cops.

Decades ago I asked my brother, then a Toronto traffic cop, if he had a quota. Answer: There is no set quota but if you don't hand out enough tickets you might have a superior officer question your powers of observation. A comment would be made that cops that aren't observant don't get promotions.
In all fairness in my 45 minute drive to work today, I spotted 1 guy running a red, 3 guys doing illegal u-turns, the usual speeding, and one guy running a cross walk.
I'm sure the police force knows how many tickets an officer can give out per hour at a reasonable rate. Perhaps not a quota but a necessary efficiency KPI, to ensure they are not just drinking coffee all day.
