"Kingston Requires and Deserves a Modern Station," Kingston Whig-Standard. April 1, 1943. Page 3. ---- Expanding so rapidly that an accurate statement of its population is impossible, strategically located on one of the most heavily travelled rail sections in Canada, Kingston for many years has suffered a grave lack in the accommodation of the travelling public.

Despite its ever-growing importance as an educational, industrial and military centre, this city of more than 35,000 continues to be serviced by a Canadian National Railways station completely outmoded and woefully inadequate for the hundreds of servicemen and civilians who daily stream from or crowd towards the many trains which link it with other parts of the Dominion.

If first impressions are as weighing as they are said to be, then Kingston suffers a grave injustice in the eyes of its many newcomers.

Through-travellers, too, must be shocked when straining for a glimpse of this historic Eastern. Ontario city from a train window they are confronted with the spectacle of a dingy, 19th Century building.

While glistening new industrial buildings bespeak the progressive spirit, and ivy-covered university buildings and public buildings on spacious grounds lend a touch of tradition within the city proper, Kingston's C.N.R. station continues sadly inadequate for the constant ebb and flow of rail traffic.

Kingston's chief railway termmal suffers sadly in comparison with rail depots in many other Canadian cities of approximately the same size.

While limitations imposed by war may make impossible immediate construction of a modern station, The Whig-Standard, with consistent faith in the future of this city, maintains that one of the first considerations in local post-war improvements should be new building of up-to-date design which, well equipped to accommodate rail travellers, would be a source of pride, not shame, to Kingstonians. We feel certain Kingston citizens would be satisfied with, and delighted to hear, a definite promise from the C.N.R. that a new station would be built at some specific date in the immediate future. Photo caption: Shown above is a scene at Kingston's outmoded C.N.R. station as soldiers and civilians milled around on the platform outside the station waiting room. Cramped, drafty rooms inside the old building are unpopular, but almost always crowded.

To the right is a picture of the station at Saskatoon, a modern, well-designed building suitable

to accommodate the travelling public of that western city, population of which is but slightly larger than Kingston.

In Kingston, a marked increase in the number of residents, plus the large military establishments located in the district, have further complicated unsatisfactory conditions at the Outer Station. Kingston is the major stop for Toronto and Montreal trains between departure and destination, yet the travelling public here is forced to use inadequate station facilities.

[AL: Ah, the days when the worst thing about getting between cities in a train was the station was kind of ugly at one stop - instead of it being preposterously difficult and expensive almost anywhere in Canada to use a train to get between cities.]

#273: Garry Hoy was a lawyer in the Toronto-Dominion Centre in 1993. he was demonstrating to a bunch of students how strong the glass was. so he decided it was a good idea to throw his full body weight against the pane. the whole frame fell out and Garry dropped 24 storeys. the window pane was absolutely fine.

that's called autodefenestration :)

How American Psycho's Filming Locations Helped Feed The Story's Narrative

How American Psycho’s Filming Locations Helped Feed The Story’s Narrative

Looking at the Toronto-Dominion Centre today, you can definitely see why it would be the perfect setting for that climax. It’s unassuming, postmodernist, and by today’s standards, very generic. So much of Bateman’s characterization lies in the idea that he’s “better” than everyone else because of his two identities — but deep down, he’s just as scared and boring as everyone else, no matter how…

“Flag Draped Canada”

These past few weeks have been difficult for Canada and what it means to be Canadian. That discomfort is nothing compared to the legacy of trauma settlers and successive Canadian governments have inflicted upon the Indigenous Peoples of the land now called Canada. Canada Day feels different this year—and it should. At last count, 1,148 unmarked graves (182 announced yesterday in Cranbrook, B.C.)…

“Section 98 Again Under Verbal Fire,” Brantford Expositor. February 15, 1933. Page 1 & 2. ---- Woodsworth's Bill to Repeal Section Has Advanced As Far As Second Reading But Is Unlikely to Get Further — Supported By Lapointe — “Dangerous Organizations” At Work Guthrie Retorts ---- OTTAWA, Feb. 15— (CP)— Section 98 of the Criminal Code possibly the only section of the code the average Canadian knows of by number, is under fire in Parliament again. It has been under fire nearly every session for more than 10 years and outside of Parliament has been denounced by labor and other organizations of various shades of radicalism.

This year the bill to repeal the section sponsored by J. S. Woodsworth (Labor Winnipeg North Centre) has advanced as far as second reading but is unlikely to go any further. Opposition to the measure was voiced last night by Hon. Hugh Guthrie, minister of Justice, after the Winnipeg Laborite had argued for repeal of the section which makes it an offense to be a member of an organization working for the overthrow of constituted authority.

WOODSWORTH’S ARGUMENT In arguing for repeal Mr Woodsworth offered no justification for the activities of Communists He said he was opposed to forcible overthrow of government. The Communists now serving in penitentiary, however, had been convicted under section 98. These man had been guilty of no overt act and he did not believe a man should be punished for the views he holds or the thoughts he expresses.

SUPPORT FROM LAPOINTE Support for Mr Woods worth came from Hon. Ernest Lapointe, former minister of Justice, who attempted to secure the repeal of the section while he was in office. He believed other sections of the code amply provided for seditious activities.

DANGEROUS ORGANIZATIONS If there was any reason for enacting the section in 1918, said Mr. Guthrie there was abundant reason for retaining it under present disturbed conditions. There was unrest in Canada to-day and “a number of dangerous organizations” were at work. The Labor Defense League was operating In “a most Insidious manner." It was closely affiliated with "The Friends of Russia Society.”

The numerous petitions and personal threats he had received, said Mr. Guthrie, convinced him of the intensity of the activity of then organizations. At one time he had looked upon repeal of the section with indifference but now he felt it should stand.

“We know that there is unrest in the Dominion of Canada to-day of a very serious nature,” Mr. Guthrie declared, in moving that the bill be given a six months’ hoist. He referred particularly to the Canadian Labor Defense League. He was sufficiently aware of the activities of that league to know “that it is a Communist society of Canada operating under another name.”

The minister told the House of the threatening telegrams he had received of the great batch of petitions in connection with the imprisonments of the eight Communists and the riots at Kingston penitentiary.”

"I know that the Canadian Labor Defense League and the Communist association have their affiliations outside the Dominion of Canada," said Mr. Guthrie. "I know that from telegrams, which I have received threatening myself. I have been told that 150,000 Communists in New York are watching me and I forget how many hundreds of thousands in Chicago" — all telegrams framed, I believe, in the City of Toronto.”

Mr. Lapointe recalled that he had on five occasions introduced legislation to repeal the statute and thus the House of Commons had always supported the bill. During the session of 1930, nobody on the opposite side of the House had opposed it.

"If it is a crime to-night to favor the bill introduced by the hon. member for Winnipeg North Centre, all hon. members who sat opposite me in 1930 and supported the bill introduced then — because they did not oppose it— were guilty of a similar crime”.

The cadet services appropriation for $300,000 encountered squalls. Although the vote is $60.000 less than the item for last year, the appropriation had not passed at adjournment following an hour's discussion.

ANNUAL ATTACK Agnes Macphail (Prog., South East Grey) made her annual attack. But her move found opposition. The discussion produced a statement by Hon. D. M. Sutherland, minister of national defence, that with economy ever before its eyes, the Government would do all in its power in the way of reducing future contractual obligations. Prime Minister R. B. Bennett had carefully explained the operation of the Lord Strathcona fund for cadet public school training regarding which Dominion payments arose. The stage was then all set for the passing of the vote but Vincent Dupuis (Lib., Laprairie-Napiervllle) arose a few minutes to 11 o'clock and held the vote as it was about to be approved.

Repeating her objections, voiced in previous years, Miss Macphail told while she was opposed to cadet training, she was not opposed to discipline, provided it was self-discipline. Cadet training was a sort of rigid regimentation. She claimed which discouraged thought and should be done away with, along with many other features of the present educational system. F. G. Sanderson (Lib. South Perth) would not go so far as Miss Macphail’s motion called for but he believed that If there were any items in the estimates that might be left out during the present difficult times the cadet item was one of them.
