    rob ford

    A Toronto man has filed a complaint against Mayor Rob Ford with the city’s integrity commissioner, alleging improper use of influence and city property. His complaints stem from allegations outlined in a police document released in court and in media reports. Ray Fredette, 62, filed his formal complaint to the Office of the Integrity Commissioner last week, claiming that Mr. Ford broke the council code of conduct by using city-paid staff and resources for personal benefit, as well as to benefit his own private business. The complaint cites as evidence a nearly-500-page police document on a Toronto Police drug investigation that targeted Mr. Ford and his friend Alessandro Lisi. The document details police interviews with former Ford staffers who allege the mayor called on them for personal errands, such as changing a light bulb and purchasing laundry detergent. Other staffers said they were asked to purchase alcohol for the mayor, and perform tasks for the high school football team the mayor coached. None of the allegations has been proven in court. “We’re paying, as citizens and taxpayers, for his salary, and the salary of his staff,” Mr. Fredette said of Mr. Ford. “So his time is on our dime, and there’s a lot of occasions where we weren’t getting value for our money.”The mayor declined to comment on the complaint. Mr. Fredette, a retired executive assistant with the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association, said the legal costs of his case against the mayor are being borne by himself and his lawyer. He described himself as “left of centre,” and has participated in anti-Ford rallies at City Hall in the past, but said his complaint is not politically motivated. “On December 7, 2010, at the inaugural meeting of council, he took an oath, and he became my mayor” he said. “As far as I’m concerned, he broke his oath a number of times.” Mr. Fredette’s lawyer, Tim Gleason, said that other allegations…

    Franklin Roosevelt

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd President of The United States of America; he served from 1933 until his death in 1945, the longest any president has served. His inaugural speech in March 1933 had resounding effects on most, if not all Americans. His speech did more than outline his ambitions for his presidency; it gave Americans hope during a problematic time. Starting with the stock market crash in October 1929 the United States faced unemployment, bank closures, and low farm prices. FDR addresses these problems in his inaugural address, and he successfully proposes his plan to remedy these tribulations. Roosevelt’s inaugural address is a successful speech that uses the canons of rhetoric and draws on the parallelism between biblical allusions and pathos to emotionally inspire, and give optimism to an otherwise hopeless audience.…

    During this time in America inventions of better and more sufficient ways of transportation, building, and communication were being discovered or invented. All around America businesses were popping up and men would be walking away filthy rich. But what defines a man to be a hero? Is it how much money he has, the way he grew up, what he did for others, or dying for his country? Andrew Carnegie was no Ulysses Grant but he was also not Vanderbilt, Carnegie gave back to his country with the riches he earned. We cannot look upon Carnegie as being the child with the silver spoon in his mouth growing up. He was poor growing up and was business savvy which is how he became rich. We should not punish him for using his knowledge to become successful but we should look at what he did with the money. Andrew Carnegie was a hero, he not only brought the steel idea to America but with his riches he gave back.…

    Theodore Roosevelt

    Theodore Roosevelt was the twenty-sixth president of the United States, and was an avid conservationist. New York City was his place of birth, and he was born on October 27, 1858 into a wealthy family. He spent most of his childhood at home, studying necessary schoolwork and observing nature and wildlife. As a child, he suffered from many illnesses, including asthma, so he stayed homeschooled until he turned eighteen. Theodore went to Harvard College for four years, traveled to Germany for more studies, and then came back to the U.S. to immediately go into politics. Teddy was elected to be in the Assembly of New York State, which he held office for three years. After his first wife passed away, Theodore left the political life, moved out west, and bought land for a cattle ranch in the badlands of the Dakota Territory. There he spent his time hunting large game and growing closer to the outdoor environment. In 1886, Teddy left the ranch and headed back to New York to go back into politics and marry a second time. He became involved in local government associations such as the police department and the civil service commission for a while. Then in 1897 he joined President McKinley's administration as assistant secretary of the Navy. While in this office he actively prepared for the Cuban War, which he saw was coming, and when it broke out in 1898, went to Cuba as lieutenant colonel of a regiment of volunteer cavalry, which was made up of the hunters and cowboys of the West that he had known before. Elected governor of the state of New York in 1898, he invested his two-year administration with the dynamic and professional characteristics which were his trademark. He would have pursued reelection of governor in 1900, since much of his work was only half done, but the Republicans not chosen him as their candidate for the second office of the United States. He held the vice-presidency for less than a year, succeeding to the presidency after the assassination of President…

    Theodore Roosevelt

    One of America’s most powerful and influential Presidents in its history would have to beTheodore Roosevelt. Although strong and powerful as an adult, he gave no signs of being a strong leader in American history during his childhood years. His sickly little body held him back from being as active as he wanted. Asthma was his biggest health issue and Teddy had a hard time doing anything strenuous without getting extremely ill. Even though he was thought to be hindered from greatness because of his health issues, Teddy rose up from his ailments. With the encouragement of his father he chose to rise to the challenge of being a hard worker. He had the excuses to stay back and watch others succeed in life, but that wasn’t good enough for him. He was able to workout in a home gym created by his father and become stronger then any doctor thought possible. It was this kind of determination and perseverance that helped him later become one of America’s greatest presidents.…

    In The Fiery Trail Mr. Foner the author has worked hard at making "white of black and black of white." He has made the "Great Emancipator" into the "Great Enslaver" while accusing him of "ethnic cleansing." According to Foner, "If Lincoln had had his way; there would be no Blacks in America. "Lincoln's real purpose as president was not to free the slaves, but to prolong slavery until he could put a plan in place to deport all Blacks to a foreign shore. Foner writes: "[Lincoln] did everything he could to deport Blacks and to make America a Great White Place."( Pg 22)…
