Supreme Court and Ukrainian Canadians

partisan politics: It a strange concept, importing historical horrors from other countries to commemorate, and there no apparent driver behind the government infatuation with the project beyond partisan politics, according to CTV. Polish and Ukrainian Canadians impacted by Communist oppression will undoubtedly be monumentally grateful to the empathetic Conservatives - and vote accordingly. Work will start within weeks on a stark and dark project on a controversial site the Supreme Court chief justice has questioned,architects have lambasted and Ottawa city council has rejected. Which brings us to a better idea if, as lead Ottawa minister Pierre Poilievre insists, this prized site absolutely must be reserved for a monument instead of a much-needed courthouse. This was our national shame, with tens of thousands of lives sacrificed or ruined in generations of aboriginal children who endured sexual, physical and emotional abuse in the cause of a cultural genocide. Prime Minister Stephen Harper should dedicate the site to the victims and survivors of Canada residential schools. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
