#D'Arcy McGee's

[tsunflowers]

"#there's probably some famous stories about macdonald"

Beyond the present day focus on his involvement with the horrible Residential schools, he is historically well known for being the only Canadian Prime Minister to resign over a scandal (the Pacific Scandal, regarding bribes to influence the awarding of the contract for what would have been the first national railway), and for being a massive alcoholic (even for the time) who was "repeatedly seen showing up to Parliament so blasted that he could barely talk". While he wasn't drunk all the time, he was very much a binge drinker. Supposedly he once told fellow parliamentarian D'Arcy McGee something along the lines of "look here, McGee, this government can't afford two drunkards. You've got to stop."

EPIC

I think the story of him telling another guy to stop drinking so he could be the only drunkard in the government should be a national myth on the level of washington and the tree. actually it sounds like the kind of shit churchill would say

Fun fact about canada!

did you know only three canadian politicians have been assassinated, and these three people are George Brown (November 29, 1818 – May 9, 1880), Pierre Laporte (25 February 1921 – 17 October 1970), and Thomas D'Arcy McGee  (13 April 1825 – 7 April 1868)

George Brown

Pierre Laporte

Thomas D'Arcy McGee

any other canadians think it's weird and a little bit ghoulish that we named a restaurant chain after our (arguably) most famous political assassination and then put a branch just down the street from where the actual assassination occurred!? it's like going to dallas and eating at a place called jfk's

« 2022, c’est l’élection de la génération climat »

Les porte-paroles de Québec solidaire Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois et Manon Massé ont profité de la deuxième journée de vote par anticipation pour lancer un appel au vote massif des jeunes. La génération climat peut faire la différence dans le résultat de l’élection. 

« 2022, c’est l’élection de la génération climat. Cette année, c’est à notre tour. Je le dis tous les jours: c’est l’élection de la dernière chance pour agir contre les changements climatiques. Ce n’est pas une raison de se décourager, c’est une raison de se mobiliser. C’est possible de changer d’ère au Québec si on rend ça possible, si on vote plus nombreux, plus nombreuses que jamais cette année. Allons voter. Allez voter le 3 octobre, allez voter sur les campus dès demain », a déclaré Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois

« Ça fait des semaines que je fais la tournée des campus, l’environnement, c’est l’enjeu numéro un dont j’entends parler. Pour que les jeunes aillent voter, je l’ai toujours dit, il faut leur donner de bonnes raisons de voter », a affirmé Manon Massé, qui a visité de nombreux campus universitaires et collégiaux dans les dernières semaines.

Manon Massé a rappelé les propositions du parti autres que celles au sujet de l’environnement qui résonnent avec les préoccupations de la jeune génération:

Gratuité des contraceptifs et des produits d’hygiène menstruelle dans les établissements éducatifs et institutionnels

Contrôle des loyers qui limite les hausses à l’indice du Tribunal administratif du logement et moratoire sur les rénovictions

Politique nationale de rémunération des stages

Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois a rappelé que les jeunes représentent environ le tiers de l’électorat, mais que cette tranche de la population a tendance à moins voter que les autres. Or, en raison des bureaux de vote sur les campus, il est possible d’inverser la tendance et que les jeunes se saisissent du pouvoir qu’ils détiennent.

Pour l’occasion, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois et Manon étaient accompagnés d’un groupe de candidats et candidates âgés entre 18 et 30 ans comprenant Elisabeth Labelle (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce), Émile Bellerose-Simard (Masson), Mike Owen Sebagenzi (Pontiac), Amélie Drainville (Berthier), Jean-Philippe Samson (Vachon), Shophika Vaithyanathasarma (Marie-Victorin), Hilal Pilavci (D'Arcy-McGee), Jean-Claude Mugaba (La Pinière), Marc-Olivier Neveu (Saint-Jérôme) et Jessy Léger (Fabre).

The raven's house is built with reeds, Sing woe, and alas is me! And the raven's couch is spread with weeds, High on the hollow tree; And the raven himself, telling his beads In penance for his past misdeeds, Upon the top I see.

Sparks Street, Ottawa (No. 2)

Sparks Street is home to the Sparks Street International Chicken & Rib Cook-off every year in late June.

Each year, around the August civic holiday, Sparks street plays host to the Ottawa International Buskers Festival, where buskers from around the world come to showcase their art to tourists and locals in downtown Ottawa.

Latin Sparks Festival made its debut in 2012 as a small group of 40 friends gathered weekly on Sparks Street to dance outdoors in the summertime. Sparks Street is home to Latin Sparks Festival since 2012, featuring music, dancing and food.

Sparks contains some of Ottawa's most important structures.  Just past the eastern end of Sparks at Elgin Street is the National War Memorial and across Elgin from Sparks is the National Arts Centre.

The eastern section of the street sees a number of the oldest buildings, including Ottawa's post office from 1939; the Ottawa Electric Building, built in 1926 by the founders of the Ottawa Electric Railway, Ottawa's streetcar system, Ottawa's first high-rise: the Bible House/old James Hope building at 61 Sparks, built in 1910; and branches of a number of Canada's banks from the same era.

A pair of notable newer buildings are also on this section of the mall, including the CBC Ottawa Broadcast Centre and the Thomas D'Arcy McGee Building, which is located at the corner of Metcalfe and Sparks.

West of Bank Street, outside of the mall itself, the street is overshadowed by the C.D. Howe Building, the home of Industry Canada on the south and the headquarters of the Bank of Canada to the north.  West of the bank is the Ottawa Marriott Hotel and Place de Ville's Podium Building and Tower C, the tallest building in Ottawa and home of Transport Canada. On the north side, home of the Department of Justice in the St. Andrew's Towers and the East Memorial Building with other government departments in the West Memorial Building. West of these buildings the street becomes far less notable as being home to several hotels and smaller buildings.  The final block of the rather short street has the Garden of the Provinces and Territories to the north and Christ Church Cathedral, Ottawa's main Anglican church, to the south.

One of the best known addresses in all of Canada for many years was "56 Sparks Street, Ottawa" as it was the tag line used in a large number of radio and television commercials and commentaries made by Lotta Hitschmanova, the founder of the humanitarian charity USC Canada which moved to an office at 56 Sparks Street soon after it was created in 1945.

D’Arcy McGee’s 44 Sparks St. Ottawa, Ontario Ottawa, our capitol, diverse in its people and food. On a warm September evening after visiting the Canada 150 display at Parliament Hill (which was amazing!) our group was in the mood for food. Of course me being from the east coast I had a craving for Irish pub food.  Our walking path leading back to our hotel also lead us by Sparks Street and…

Irish Stout Stew Recipe

There is a time in everyone's life when it is simply not convenient to make an entire meal for the whole family from scratch. For anyone strapped for time, a slow cooker is an indispensable appliance. Nothing is easier or more convenient than throwing a few ingredients into the crock pot and letting it do all the work over the course of the day. You can slow cook quick-cooking rice in about thirty minutes. Risotto rice is another kind of rice that cooks well in the slow cooker and quick-cooking risotto rice is the best variety. You can make a gorgeous, creamy risotto in your slow cooker in about an hour. Other crockpot recipes with rice include jambalaya and rice pudding. You can add cooked rice to any slow cooked slow cooked lamb and vegetable casserole in the final stages of cooking and it is especially good to bulk up a soup or stew dish. While D'Arcy McGee's is a pub in Buffalo that makes every effort to be an Irish pub and succeeds and JP Fitzgerald's is a restaurant sports bar and slow cooked lamb casserole Irish pub combined the Shannon Pub is authentically Irish. The other thing is to note that herbs sometime loose their intensity in the long cooking process. So an hour before serving, sneak a taste - it's ok, I do it all the time. Place the pan back on the stove (on hot) and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil gets hot, throw in your diced up onions and wait 3-4 minutes for the onions to become translucent. Finally, add your 1-2 cans of beef broth. First of all, the menu offers great Irish food. The Shepherd's Pie is about as good as it gets whether in Hartford or anywhere; but try too the corned beef and cabbage, and the Guinness lamb stew. And as with most slow-cooker recipes, just toss everything in the pot in the morning and come home 8-12 hours later to a delicious, bubbling hot, comfort-food meal. I was so glad I did this last Friday; coming home after 10 hours of work (and 2 hours of commuting), my spirits lifted as I inhaled the delcious smell of onions and beef when I walked in the door. While in Madrid, it is madness not to learn a bit of the language or some of the cooking. There are various culinary schools lamb stew gordon ramsay courses found throughout the city, especially in some of the restaurants of central Madrid. Universities and language schools boast excellent Spanish courses for foreigners.
