From the Address by the Hon. James K. Bartleman at his Installation as the 27th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

Queens Park, Toronto, Ontario,  March 7, 2002

"As a Canadian with Aboriginal as well as white roots, I bring a particular regard for the positive role that the Crown has played in Aboriginal affairs over the centuries. The Royal Proclamation of 1763, enshrined in our Constitution of 1982, provided Native peoples with rights not enjoyed elsewhere in the Americas. It was one of my predecessors, in fact, who sought to banish the people from the Lake Simcoe Muskoka area to Northern Ontario in the way that the Americans banished the people from the easterly Appalachians into the Oklahoma area and it was the Crown that stepped in in the late 1830s and stopped that.

My background accounts also for my lifelong visceral hatred of racism. I've never forgotten how normal it was considered, when I was young, to wound the children of minority communities with vulgar epithets and engage in racist bullying. Today, thankfully, our society no longer condones that sort of behaviour, but we must never cease to combat all the forms of discrimination and abuse that do remain."  Read More ..

The Lieutenant Governor's Literacy Initiatives

December, 2005

To open new opportunities for aboriginal youth, the Hon. James K. Bartleman has launched four innovative programs that promote literacy, drawing upon widespread support from individuals and organizations throughout the province of Ontario, Canada's most populous province.

The Honourable James K . Bartleman

When the Hon. James K. Bartleman began visiting First Nations in Northern Ontario in 2002, he noticed that the schools had many bookshelves, but few books. At the start of 2004 he launched a province-wide appeal for donations of good used books to send to
these northern schools. Priority was given to 33 fly-in communities in the Far North, served only by winter roads. Ontario Provincial Police detachments across Ontario served as depots for collecting books, and dedicated volunteers sorted and packed
many thousands of books at OPP Headquarters in Orillia and at an aircraft hangar at Downsview in Toronto. By the end of February, 1.2 million books had been donated by generous Ontarians. After sorting, 850,000 good quality books were provided to First Nations and Native Friendship Centres across Ontario. Shipments were made possible thanks to the OPP, Department of National Defence, the Canadian Rangers, the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, the South Asian professional association EIPROC, Wasaya Airways, corporate donors, trucking companies and numerous volunteers. A resounding success, the Book Program ended in 2004.

WOMEN:
THE FORGOTTEN CHILD MURDERERS

Women who kill their children are given sympathy and sentenced to "treatment" while men who do the same thing are charged with murder and sentenced to life.

Perhaps it is not a coincidence that women are many times more likely to murder their offspring than men.
