A plaque to commemorate the Second World War internment of Italian- Canadians was unveiled by Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney in Ottawa on Sunday.
Through the Community Historical Recognition Program (CHRP), the Italian- Canadian Community Centre of the National Capital Region received $81,000 to design, construct and install the plaque and a time capsule in Ottawa's Dante Park. The CHRP contribution is also supporting the creation of a booklet and a website about this chapter of Canadian history.
The park, which really is a corner lot paved over and gussied up, is across from the church that older Italians [and I] use, St. Anthony's. In the heart of Paul Dewar's Ottawa Centre. Thing is most Italians live in the southern and western suburbs which are [or are leaning] Blue. One can be rest assured that Dante Park was one of the topics of discussion over dinner Sunday.
Like sands in an hourglass the Tories keep chipping away at the Liberal base. Masterstrokes like this occur all across our country on a regular basis.
