Property owner/manager consent form.
That’s the sticky wicket.
However, if there were to be a campaign and group effort to purchase this property, the rest is easy.
Let’s Purchase 787 Dundas St. W
to Commemorate Jack Layton
Imagine the (faux) outrage from the CBC if we were to do this? Hehe. I’m in!
Done.
I sent my suggestion off to kwainwr@toronto.ca.
Said that it was high time the ‘progressive’ side of the NDP ;eaders was recognized
My suggestion would be to install a plaque in the urinal in the nearest tavern..
(giggle) “Erect” a plaque, (snicker)
Suggested text????
Dear Kaitlin,
I really believe that Toronto has been quite miserly in its recognition of those good people who have worked in the shadows, avoiding well-deserved recognition of their contributions to those who have been marginalized by our often heartless society.
For example, the late Jack Layton, concerned about the rampant unemployment experienced by young immigrants in general, and young Asian females in particular, tore down many of our primitive societal barriers by frequenting a Non-Traditional Wellness Center in order to selflessly re-distribute some of our tax-dollars so that a poor immigrant girl could have, ahem, meat on her table.
In honour of Mr. Layton and all the socially progressive citizens of your great city, it is only fitting that a plaque should be erected at the very spot where this noble sacrifice occurred: 787 Dundas Street West.
Yours in solidarity, etc….
And no, Shawn. I won’t write your effin eulogy!
Why not install a plaque along the streets where Jack Layton would ride his bike… and where his limousine would follow him?
I thing they should start designing and engineering a massive plaque for the
eventual day that the Liberals finally pay back the money they stole from TAX PAYERS
with their adscam schemes.
I guess there is no rush as the Liberals don’t seem in any hurry to make good.
I’d like to see a plaque in Toronto dedicated to William Lyon Mackenzie, it’s first mayor and bearing his best quote:
“Look to your rifles, good Canadians!”
as leader of the Mackenzie/Papineau rebellion of 1836 for responsible government.
Why are they often named Kaitlin?
max
“Why are they often named Kaitlin?”
Because they figured out Shawn is a boy’s name….

“Public” history? Differentiated from what?
pubic history
