10 Facts: Greek Genocide in Pontus
Search for:
Here are ten facts about this atrocity:
1.The Greek genocide, part of which is known as the Pontic genocide, was the systematic ethnic cleansing of the Christian Ottoman Greek population from its historic homeland. It was instigated by the government of the Ottoman Empire against the Greek population and it included massacres, forced deportations involving death marches (photo below), summary expulsions, arbitrary execution, and the destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural and religious monuments. By the end of the Greco-Turkish War most of the Greeks of Asia Minor had either fled or had been killed. Those remaining were transferred to Greece under the terms of a population exchange agreement, which formalised the exodus and barred the return of the refugees.

City budget debate goes down the toilet
A pandemic is no time to be hyper-partisan, but deputy mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong saw to it that last week s budget debate ended in the crapper By Enzo DiMatteo
Denzil Minnan-Wong
Mayor John Tory is distancing himself (sort of) from remarks made about the homeless by his handpicked deputy Denzil Minnan-Wong.
During council’s budget deliberations last week, Minnan-Wong offered in a debate on opening more washrooms in public parks that the move would encourage homeless people to set up encampments. And that’s the last thing, the Don Valley East councillor says, his constituents want to see while they’re outside enjoying the great outdoors.
