August 1, 2020 Reposted from @dundurn_castle on Instagram It is easy to say that slavery ended before Canada became an independent nation, and therefore absolve ourselves of that history. However, we cannot forget the existence of slavery in Canada, and how connected Canadian slavery was to slavery around the world. We cannot ignore the role that our country and many of our ancestors played in the exploitation and enslavement of others.... Tomorrow is Emancipation Day, the 186th anniversary of the Abolition of slavery in the British Empire. On Emancipation Day in 1858, Isaac Buchanan (a local businessman and politician) gave a speech addressing the Black community of Hamilton. The full quote is as follows: But as Britons proud of our freedom, and proud of our having set free those of the African race which were found on British soil, we must not forget that from us America received the inheritance of slavery. Though Buchanan never owned slaves himself, he still recognized his part in a society that benefited from the slave trade. Buchanan took responsibility to do more and do better, and challenged others to recognize their place in the colonial legacy, just as we can do today. #CanadianHistory #CanadianBlackHistory #EmancipationDay #HamOntHistory #HamOntMuseums - #regrann

New Evelyn Dick podcast has landed! I'm sure many of you will be interested! Enjoy.

Mark McNeil provides some Hamilton trivia just in time for Canada Day. I've copied the story here in case you don't subscribe. Did you know that the writer of the English lyrics to O Canada was actually from Hamilton? Robert Stanley Weir was born in the city on Nov. 15, 1856, four years after his parents immigrated to Canada from Scotland.... He didn’t stay around here that long, leaving Hamilton as a child to move to Montreal with his folks. But I like to think that his early exposure to the city helped set in place a foundation of talent that would later blossom in the country’s most important song. As well as being a poet, Weir went on to become a distinguished lawyer and judge with the Exchequer Court of Canada, which later became the Federal Court of Canada. In his day, he was recognized as a leading expert on municipal civil law in Quebec. Weir also had a knack for language and could speak fluently in English, French and Latin. No doubt, his proficiency with words was helpful in the daunting task of capturing the essence of a country in song. He wrote his O Canada lyrics in English in 1908 to mark the 300th anniversary of the founding of Québec City. His words were applied to a stirring melody that had been written by a Francophone musical prodigy named Calixa Lavallée in 1880 that had become popular in Quebec. There were French lyrics by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier but the words clunked in translation and were more about Quebec than Canada. The song was originally created to celebrate St. Jean Baptiste Day. There were many, many versions in English before and after Weir, says Robert Harris, author of the 2018 book Song of a Nation. The Untold Story of Canada’s National Anthem.

Follow up to earlier post. Local flower growers are being hit hard during #covid19. Many of their customers are closed. These pix are from @cedar_field_greenhouses at 439 - 10th Concession Rd East in Freelton about 25 minutes from Downtown Hamilton. On offer are prepackaged bunches. One person at a time to shop & pay (lock box). Other growers in the Niagara Region may have similar set ups. I know one in Virgil has large selection of Fressia. #hamont #shoplocal #supportindependentbusinesses #weareinthistogether #flowersmakemehappy
