How green was my alleyUproar on Wiseman over plan to undo paving in rear lane
Ever since the Borough of Villeray/St-Michel-Parc Extension decided some years back to support the increasingly popular trend of converting paved alleys behind many homes into “green” spaces, there’s been support for the concept by some, while others continue to believe that lanes should serve their original purpose as a rear access to homes.
A woman who lives on Park Extension’s Wiseman Ave. between Ogilvy and St. Roch is in the latter category. She’s up in arms over efforts the borough has begun to turn the paved stretch behind her house into a so-called “green alleyway.” The project was initiated by another nearby resident who formed a citizen committee to lead the project.
The perfect alleyway“Our alley was a perfectly paved alley – no cracks, no bumps,
beautiful,” Helen Petritsis, who’s lived in the area since the early 1970s, said in an interview with Nouvelles Parc Extension News. “The kids play there with their bikes, running freely. It’s very nice.”
This blissful state was marred, according to Petritsis, when a public works crew arrived one day to excavate and break areas of the concrete lane in order to create several rectangular-shaped openings in the pavement. Earth was poured in and grass and flowers were planted. Since then, planting boxes have also been set up on the sides of the lane, sometimes obstructing the passage of vehicles.
Things got dirtyBefore the planting took place, Petritsis complains, the open-
ings in the pavement filled with water, mud and the excrement of cats (mistaking the enclosures for kitty litter boxes presumably), and children from the neighbourhood were returning home filthy.
Fed up, Petritsis went door-to-door with a petition addressed
to the borough council and Eco-quartier Parc Extension, stating that the undersigned residents of Wiseman and Stuart avenues “are opposed to the green alley project and demand the immedi-
ate restoration of the pavement on this section of the alley.” More than two dozen people ended up signing.
No consensus, says PetritsisAccording to Petritsis, the borough informed residents of
Wiseman and Stuart by letter more than a year ago that a green alley project proposal was being taken into consideration. But she maintains that a consensus of agreement was never reached, since a large number of immigrant families in the area have an insufficient grasp of either English or French and probably wouldn’t have understood the letter.
“The lane is a service area,” she said. “It’s not meant to be a botanical garden. Service vehicles have to pass freely through here. With the holes that are dug there – especially the one behind my house, which I didn’t give them authorization to do – cars come and go over the hole, splashing mud all over the place.”
Local councillor silentPetritsis maintains she tried to contact Park Extension city
councillor Mary Deros a number of times, all without success. “She promised me an interview. She never showed up. She never came.” In an e-mailed answer last November, Deros acknow-ledged receiving an inquiry about the lane from Petritsis, saying she would “be in touch.” Petritsis maintains she has heard nothing from Deros since then.
While the Borough of Villeray/St-Michel/Parc Extension has been pursuing policies in recent years designed to reduce summertime heat with measures such as greening over paved rear lanes, Petritsis claims they could have chosen a more appro-priate rear lane since there are other laneways in the neighbour-hood in much worse shape.
Nouvelles Parc Extension News attempted to reach Councillor Mary Deros for her take on the situation. She had not responded
by our deadline.
MARTIN C. BARRY
Helen Petritsis of Wiseman Ave. says that she and other residents of her street and of nearby Stuart Ave. don’t want their rear lane turned into a “green” alleyway.

ALENA : Le pot de terre et le pot de fer
Parlez-moiD’HUMOUR
Alcide Borik
Une vieille fable nous raconte le
voyage de ces deux pots se dandinant
cahin-caha, et arrive à la conclusion
naturelle que, s’il y en a un des deux
qui risque des fissures à ce voisinage,
ce n’est pas le pot de fer!
Ô ! sagesse populaire, il est évident
que si une ‘entente’ doit être positive
pour nos voisins du pot de fer, et néga-
tive pour le Canada et le Mexique,
elle nous transformera en républiques
de bananes, et si l’Américain moyen
recherche le triomphe sur toute la
ligne, nous sommes en droit de nous
demander : So? Where is the beef?
La définition d’une entente est de se
conclure à la satisfaction des parties,
sinon, nous nous trouverions dans la
position du joueur de baise-ball pris
en souricière, et devrons chercher
d’autres débouchés pour nos produits
et services et vivre dans la mesure de
nos moyens.
À quoi donc nous servirait une
Alena entièrement négative, sinon à
accroître nos déficits?
Un autre joueur pris en souricière,
c’est le directeur Francoeur : pris entre
sa vérité difficile à mettre en doute au
troisième coussin, et les dénégations
de Mme Murphy du DPCP au but, un
autre qui parviendra difficilement à
glisser au marbre.
Même chose pour les pantalons
de nos policiers : être ou ne pas être
en tenue de camouflage! Résister
(encore) ou céder? Pourquoi pas
en simples jarretières comme dans
certaines vidéos de Juste pour Rire?
Et puis, l’arrêt Jordan : les bandits
banditent! Enquêtes, dénonciations
nombreuses, des années de commis-
sions ruineuses, Monsieur tout le
monde y perd des biens, la justice
sa crédibilité, entre les sentences
bombons au troisième but et les
procédures arrêtées au marbre à
cause de la lenteur administrative,
combien d’assassins, de violeurs et
autres criminels graves seront finale-
ment ‘retirés’ par l’arbitre?
Conclusion : S’il n’en tenait qu’à
moi, ce n’est pas encore demain qu’on
reverra le Baise-ball à Montréal!!!
Canada’s governor generals have been famous and infamous. They have played large parts in our
country’s history. In some cases, the contribution has been dramatic. Where does David Johnston’s recent capitulation put him?
In 1926, the King-Byng affair kept the country spellbound as it unfolded, after Gov. Gen. Lord Byng refused Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King’s request to dissolve Parliament and call an election. Before Byng, Lord Grey and others made decisions that shaped the country we know today.
So what are we to make of our current Governor General’s abject apology for telling the truth?
During a CBC interview, Gov. Gen. David Johnston said that all Canadians are immigrants from somewhere. That’s the unvarnished truth. Most of our ancestors came to this country by ship, train or airplane. In the case of aboriginal Canadians, they came the hard way - by walking over the Bering land bridge.
There’s no shame in that. It’s just a fact. The only truly indigenous people on Earth are Africans, because that’s where homo sapiens originated. All of our dis-tant ancestors spread out from Africa and inhabited most of the planet.
So why did the Governor General retract his true statement and apologize for having the temerity to speak the truth?
The answer seems to be that it’s all part of the same craven capitulation to political correctness that vilified Sen. Lynn Beyak for making a few mild and obviously truthful observations about Indian residential schools - the same cowardly caving in to political correct-ness that even caused the once mighty Conservative Party of Canada to censure the senator.
It’s political correctness run amuck. For some strange reason, when it comes
to aboriginal issues, there is no limits to how far people will go to sacrifice truth for the sake of not offending the sensibil-ities of some aboriginals.
The idea that aboriginal people have been here since the beginning of time is a myth but no one seems willing to say this obvious truth. Certainly, the Governor General isn’t willing to say it.
And what if part of the creation myth of some aboriginal groups was that the sun goes around the Earth? That’s a common misconception in many cre-ation myths - after all, myths came about before people had science to help them understand physical phenomena. Would Johnston then apologize if he referred to this scientific fact and an aboriginal person objected?
Let’s be clear: Johnston’s apology is a retraction and the implication is that - science be damned - if an aggrieved group is vocal enough, their story must be accepted. If history has to be rewrit-ten, and if science has to be stood on its head, then so be it. If a creation myth has it that people sprouted from the land like mushrooms, then it must be true. And no one, not even the Governor General, can say anything different.
Where was our mainstream media - our guardians of the truth - when this idiocy desperately needed to be exposed?
Do a search, as I did. I could find nary a peep from our tax-funded CBC. Our mainstream newspapers invoked their right to remain silent.
What the Governor General - the Queen’s representative - should have done is obvious. He should have said, “I was speaking the truth and I stand by it.”
Perhaps when this part of Canada’s history is written, Johnston will be on the infamous side of the ledger because he told a lie when he could have told the truth.
Brian Giesbrecht

Park Extension Legal Clinic offers free legal adviceNew service now open at William Hingston Centre on Mondays
(PXN) The Mile End Legal Clinic is proud
to announce the launch of a new service point
– the Park Extension Legal Clinic.
Since June 19, free legal services are being
offered to the Park Extension community every
Monday between 1-3 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. in the
William-Hingston Complex (419 St-Roch
Street) in room SS-03.
Know your rights“We believe that no one should have to face
legal problems without a clear understanding
of their rights,” says the management of the new
legal clinic. They say that since the service’s
inception in Mile End in 2002, it has served a
large number of individuals by informing clients
of their rights and offering support in their legal
proceedings.
An information session on the services
provided by the Park Extension Legal Clinic
took place on June 14 at the William-Hingston
Complex for the population and for community
organizations. Free legal consultations are being
provided mainly by volunteer lawyers and law
students.
New legal directorThese services are offered according to a tried
and true model, which the Mile End Legal Clinic
has been employing successfully for years. The
recent hiring of Me Anne Thibault as the Legal
Director has allowed the Park Extension Legal
Clinic project to come to life.
The project received a grant from the Quebec
Ministry of Justice’s Access to Justice Fund,
which will ensure the clinic’s operations over
the next year. Beyond this point, the sustaina-
bility of the project will depend on grants and
donations. Individuals or organizations wishing
to contribute to the long-term operations of the
clinic are encouraged to contact Me Thibault
directly.
Support from CAPEAs an initiative spearheaded by Park
Extension community members, the clinic
project was built thanks to a partnership with
the Comité d’action de Parc-Extension (CAPE),
an organization which has long operated in Park
Extension as a tenant rights advocacy group.
As the neighborhood is home to a diverse
population, many of whom are recent newcom-
ers and live below the poverty line, the needs of
the community are numerous and complex. The
Mile End Legal Clinic is a network of lawyers
and law students dedicated to making justice
more accessible.

Canada’s 36 Fathers of Confederation were a not-so-motley crew of mostly lawyers and busi-nessmen, with the odd doctor, journalist and pharmacist thrown in for good measure.
They met in Charlottetown, Quebec and London between 1864 and 1867 to discuss uniting New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and the Province of Canada, which was composed of Canada East and Canada West (which would later become Quebec and Ontario).
The Fathers represented British North America colonies that had previously formed New France, until they were handed over to England at the end of the Seven Years’ War in 1763.
During the 100 years between that hand-over and the Confederation talks, American and European aggressions had put those colonies on alert. Economic, political and military concerns also contributed to talk of unification, as did a need for a national railway to facilitate trade. The American Civil War (1861-1865) stoked fears of possible annexation.
Union, for many Fathers of Confederation, was the best way to avoid getting scooped up into the United States.
And so the Dominion of Canada was born on July 1, 1867. But who were these men, these Fathers of Confederation?
Leonard Tilley: Pro-union, anti-booze
Pharmacist and noted prohibition-ist Samuel Leonard Tilley. (Topley Studio/Library and Archives Canada)
Originally a phar-macist hailing from New Brunswick (he
first apprenticed at 13), Samuel Leonard Tilley sold his successful drugstore to become a politician. He was a proponent of responsible government and of prohibition — neither of which were popular in New Brunswick at the time — and a member of several pro-temperance groups. Tilley served as premier of New Brunswick before joining Canada’s first federal cabinet in 1867.
Tilley, along with fellow Maritime premiers Charles Tupper (Nova Scotia) and John Hamilton Gray (P.E.I.), had started discussing a union prior to 1864, but hadn’t settled on a date to hold a conference on the subject. “It was not until the Province of Canada asked for an invitation that a meeting was hurriedly organized for September 1 at Charlottetown,” explains the Government of Canada’s website.
Charles Tupper: 69 days in office
Charles Tupper ser ve d as Nova Scotia’s premier before moving to federal politics. He pushed for Confederation after
becoming convinced a small colony such as Nova Scotia would never gain much attention from England. (Topley Studio/Library and Archives Canada)
Tupper worked as a doctor prior to becoming a politician, and occasionally performed medical work after joining the government; he was known for keeping a medical bag under his seat in the House of Commons. He was the Canadian Medical Association’s first president, and he also served as Canada’s sixth prime minister — for exactly 69 days — in 1896. He is the current record holder for shortest-serving prime minister in Canadian history.
Despite his political and medical successes, Tupper wasn’t well-liked: “Throughout his career Tupper was variously described as ‘the Boodle Knight,’ the ‘Great Stretcher’ (of the truth), ‘the old tramp,’ the ‘Arch-Corruptionist’ and ‘the old wretch.’ All of these epithets contain a grain of truth and much of the abuse Tupper brought upon himself by his combativeness, his partisanship and his pomposity,” summarizes the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

Oliver Mowat: Trouble for John A. Macdonald
Oliver Mowat fought his fellow Fathers of Confederation on provincial rights , making the case that provinces should have greater author-ity. (Notman & Fraser/Bibliothèque et Archives Canada)
Oliver Mowat, among other things, is the reason every province has its own liquor commission.
Mowat — the third premier of Ontario, a former justice minister and the great-great uncle of Farley Mowat — fought at 1864’s Quebec conference to decentralize certain government powers, making a constitutional case for provincial rights. This was much to the chagrin of John A. Macdonald, a fierce supporter of centralization.
Mowat and Macdonald’s antagonistic rela-tionship began long before Confederation. They first met when Mowat articled in the 21-year-old Macdonald’s law office in Kingston, starting at the age of 15 (there was no formal legal education in Ontario at the time). He was a recurring thorn in Macdonald’s side until the latter died in 1891.
Jean-Charles Chapais: The farmer among the fathers
F a r m e r a n d businessman Jean-Charles Chapais of Kamouraska, Que. ( Wi l l i a m Ja m e s Topley/Library and Archives Canada)
F a r m e r a n d businessman Jean-Charles Chapais of
Kamouraska, Que., may not be among the best-known Fathers of Confederation, but his contri-butions — namely the abolition of seigneurial tenure (a feudal land-distribution system) and the development of laws to help support farming — are still reflected in the Canada of today.
William Henry Pope: The infidel editor
William Henry Pope: an infidel with a very strong judicial track record. (Topley Studio/Library and Archives Canada)
William Henry Pop e, a l aw yer
and land agent by training, was also an editor of PEI’s The Islander newspaper. Pope was a renowned “infidel” — a term used at the time to describe atheists or agnostics — which sparked great controversy. In a series of letters addressed to P.E.I.›s Protestants, he mocked Catholicism and its «God made of a little flour and water.»
According to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, William Henry Pope’s “tastes were quite extravagant, and despite his shrewdness, he was a poor manager of his personal finances.”
Despite these alleged failings, Pope was appointed as a judge to the Prince County court; only two of his decisions were ever appealed.
D’Arcy McGee: Rebel with a cause
Once a pro-annex-ation Irish national-ist, McGee moved to Montreal in 1857 on the invitation of the city’s Irish commun-ity. (William Notman/Library and Archives Canada)
Irishman D’Arcy McGee had spent some time as a journalist, writing for the Irish newspaper the Nation. Around the same time, McGee became a pro-independence agitator in 1848’s failed Irish rebellion.
McGee left Ireland in the aftermath, settling first in New York and then in Boston, and founding an informal counterpart to the publication he’d worked for in Ireland, also called the Nation.
“When McGee’s projects failed to gain support, he moved to Montreal in 1857, at the invitation of the local Irish community,” says the Government of Canada’s website — at which point he also changed his mind about the U.S. annexation of Canada, which he had previously supported.
McGee was shot and killed in Ottawa in 1868, after a late night at the House of Commons; his death was believed to have been the result of an Irish republican (Fenian) assassination plot. About 80,000 people attended his Montreal funeral

procession — an astonishing figure, given the city had approximately 105,000 residents at the time.
McGee was not, however, the only Father of Confederation to die from a gunshot wound. Fellow journalist George Brown, the founder of the Toronto Globe (which would later become the Globe and Mail), was shot in the leg in his office by a disgruntled former engine-room employee. The wound wasn’t fatal, but the ensuing infection was. He died in 1880.
By the numbersCanada was founded by:
19 lawyers: Adams George Archibald, Alexander Campbell, George-Étienne Cartier, Edward Barron Chandler, James Cockburn, Robert Barry Dickey, Charles Fisher, John Hamilton Gray, Thomas Heath Haviland, William Alexander Henry, Hector-Louis Langevin, John A. Macdonald, Jonathan McCully, Peter Mitchell, Oliver Mowat, Edward Palmer, William Henry Pope, John William Ritchie, Frederic Bowker Terrington Carter.
9 businessmen: Jean-Charles Chapais, George Coles, Alexander Tilloch Galt, William Pearce Howland, John Mercer Johnson, Andrew Archibald Macdonald, Ambrose Shea, William Henry Steeves, Robert Duncan Wilmot.
4 journalists: George Brown, William McDougall, Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Edward Whelan.
2 doctors: Étienne-Paschal Taché, Charles Tupper.
1 pharmacist: Samuel Leonard Tilley.
1 military officer: John Hamilton Gray.
George-Étienne Cartier: Reaching out to the French
George-Étienne Cartier, a staunch p r o - u n i f i c a t i o n advocate, was heav-
ily involved with the Société St-Jean-Baptiste, which is today dedicated to Quebec sovereignty. (George-Étienne Cartier)
Finally, the two major architects of Confederation: George-Étienne Cartier and John A. Macdonald.
Born in St-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, Que., Cartier helped sway Quebec, the Northwest Territories, Manitoba and British Columbia to join the union. At home, he convinced French-speaking residents suspicious of unification that if they didn’t consent to Confederation, Quebec could easily be annexed by the U.S.
Cartier later became embroiled in the Pacific Scandal, a cash-for-contracts scheme in the build-ing of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Cartier served as Macdonald’s right-hand man, and occasional prime-ministerial fill-in, until his death from kidney disease in 1873. Macdonald burst into tears after announcing Cartier’s death in the House of Commons, reports the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
John A. Macdonald: The architectMacdonald, who was premier of Canada West
(previously Upper Canada) portion of the Province of Canada at the time Confederation talks began, was the chief driver of a federal union. Of the 72 resolutions established to provide Canada with a template for unification, Thomas D’Arcy McGee said Macdonald had written 50 of them.
“Macdonald had always preferred a highly centralized, preferably unitary, form of govern-ment that would not be torn by jurisdictional disputes,” writes the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, wanting to avert an American-style civil war.
Like many Canadian politicians who’ve come after him, Macdonald saw his share of contro-versies. The revelation of the Pacific Scandal in April 1873 was followed by the July publication of telegrams confirming Macdonald (as well as Cartier and Hector-Louis Langevin) had accepted cash from the main financial backer of the Canadian Pacific Railway while in the midst of negotiations. The news caused a slew of defections, and Macdonald and his government resigned in November.
And like many other Canadian politicians who’ve come after him, Macdonald made a spec-tacular comeback just five years later, regaining the title of prime minister — running for and winning a seat in a riding he’d never even visited (Victoria, B.C.) — and serving until his death following a stroke in 1891.
The conference at Charlottetown was the first of three held to establish the terms of Confederation. (George P. Roberts/Library and Archives Canada)
John A. Macdonald, circa 1861–1863, around the same time he served as a joint premier for the Province of Canada. (Notman & Son/Library and Archives Canada)

S PUNCTUALITY IT’S ABOUT MY HEIGHT
A company owner was asked a question, “How do you motivate your employees to be so punctual?”
He smiled & replied, “It’s simple. I have 30 employees and 29 free parking spaces. One is paid parking.”
Lady (to her doctor): “What l am worried about is my height and not my weight.”
Doctor: “How come?”
Lady: “According to my weight, my height should be 7 feet, 8 inches.”
ARIESA mere “I love you” simply won’t cut it this week. Your partner will need to do better than that to please you. Expect a romantic surprise or-chestrated by that special someone.
TAURUSIs your vacation time fast ap-proaching? Why stay home? You could be planning a trip abroad with friends or family, or even a long road trip for the ultimate change of scenery.
GEMINIHome life and finances are often stressful and tend to put a damper on romantic relationships. To ease tension and live in harmony, ex-plore other topics of conversation.
CANCERHousework is an annoying chore. You’ll keep putting it off, but you may end up scampering around later to catch up. Your brilliant ideas will yield huge surpluses at work if you’re able to successfully convey them.
LEOYou will feel the need to improve your home’s security. To ensure your family’s peace of mind, you may decide to have an alarm system installed or better locks put in.
VIRGOYour impulsiveness may be difficult to manage at times. Your climb up the ladder at work will be lightning-quick, but you will only grasp the full measure of your new responsi-bilities once you’ve reached the top.
LIBRAHome, family and projects are ex-pensive at this time of year. Summer vacation is just around the corner, and you won’t feel able to kick back and relax until everything is just right.
SCORPIOSometimes you just have to put yourself first. Your generous nature will have you jumping to help loved ones in distress, but be careful not to exhaust yourself.
SAGITTARIUSThere’s no place like your cozy home to kick back, daydream and relax. And why not watch some good movies to check out of reality from time to time?
CAPRICORNYou will have your share of con-versations, but the topics may be challenging. You may reveal some personal secrets that you would probably have preferred to keep to yourself.
AQUARIUSYou know that choosing quality building materials for your home isn’t a luxury; it’s a long-term invest-ment. Don’t be afraid to remodel your space to your liking.
PISCESWhile on a trip, during a conference, or even during therapy, you could meet a captivating person who will make you experience some deeply buried emotions.

He enjoyed working with his hands, building both our cottages and tackling numerous projects for his kids and their families who were his other great love. We will remember his strength, physical and of character. He was the strong, silent type and a very proud man. He imbued us all with his core values: love of family, hard work and an appreciation for the good things in life. He will also be remembered for his smile and his wine making...many a glass of Larry’s red wine was enjoyed at family gatherings. He was the best Dad ever and we will miss him always.
