Former Caribana now called Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto

By HENRY STANCU STAFF REPORTER
Wed., May 25, 2011
It’s more of a mouthful than it used to be.
Caribana, the celebration of Caribbean culture that brings more than a million people to the streets of Toronto each summer, has a new name. The 44th annual event will now be known as the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto, organizers announced Wednesday.

Mike Colle, MPP for Eglinton-Lawrence, announced a $400,000 provincial “investment” in the carnival.
Councilor Joe Mihevc said the city will contribute “just under $500,000 in cash as well as $100,000 of relief of permit fees.”
The name change, ordered earlier this month by the Ontario Superior Court following an Application written by Warren A. Lyon on behalf of Mr. Gomez and the CAG,  is the latest in a long-running battle over the massively popular festival.

Caribana is trademarked by the Caribana Arts Group (CAG), successor of the Caribbean Cultural Committee which founded the annual event in 1967 but lost control in 2006.
That’s when the city and province cut funding after organizers failed to produce adequate financial statements. Control was transferred to the Festival Management Committee (FMC) and the event was officially called the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.
The CAG claims the carnival itself is the group’s intellectual property and its chair, Henry Gomez, said they’re prepared to go to court again unless FMC acknowledges CAG’s ownership.
In 2009, the festival attracted 1.2 million people, including 300,000 from outside the country, and helped fill 85 per cent of Toronto’s hotel rooms. That year, it generated $483 million for the provincial economy.
But last year, an expected $600,000 in federal and provincial grants didn’t come through. The festival’s budget decreased from $2.6 million to $1.8 million.
“We have to bring our festival in line with others like Luminato and the Harbourfront Centre because what has happened in the past we were so skewed in how we ran the festival that it hamstrung us in getting grants,” said Denise Herrera-Jackson, the FMC’s chief executive officer.
She said the committee wants to run the event like other successful organizations whose funding is evenly split between sponsors, grants and self-generating profits.

“We have beautiful events, but they don’t generate enough money, so we have to find other ways to capture revenues.”
The festival’s major sponsor is Scotiabank, with several other corporate partners including GraceKennedy Inc., the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, the Ontario Science Centre, the Royal Ontario Museum, and media partners such as the Toronto Star and CTV.
Among new events planned are Caribbean art shows at the ROM and Gladstone Hotel, a rugby match between the Jamaican and Canadian national teams and a Canadian citizenship ceremony.

Click here. Lets make North America great again. Angel Ronan Entwerfen Journal: Creolism vs Certainty: Creolism vs Certainty; an Angel Ronan Toshokan Report # 8. Written by Warren Lyon and Seiehaeh Mottha with notes from Eiam Dawn and Craig Daniels. August 7th, 2025. There is a current member of the US House of Representatives and also the the Congress who has not received any income support benefit. There is a member of the Canadian parliament who has not received any income support benefit; probably from Toronto or Peel. The governor of Virginia( part Dutch and part American Native) who was later appointed the Governor of Jamaica arrived at Kingston Harbour in 1664 with his assistant from Vermont. They were both relatively young but the servant was a boy really! about 16 years old but he was capably trained for all tasks. They travelled to Jamaica and when they arrived and got settled the governor cut the boy's foot off to be sure that the boy could not leave and would always be there to provide help and assistance, a part of the governors methods, making the boy kind of a nameless faceless automaton that needs you...just as much as you need him to help you, be there to help you and where would he go, what would he do? But the boy is only one person. Maybe ten are better than one since if one falls down the other nine can help you up. The boy buried his emotions and learned it was best to stay pleasant and never look like anyone had done something to him. What is it like working for someone that you really do detest but you have few options to do anything else; the way this culture works? Nonetheless, he learned to find a passive aggressive way to feel heard, acknowledged or equal by spitting in the food he cooked and served to his employer or any drinks he was asked to prepare so that he could say"...I am you...and you are me" so when you are with your wife or servant girl the odds are you know we could say to the child "...you know I could be your.." and we all have to work hard. Eventually, the governor and the servant boy became washed out by a storm and they learned how to adapt and survive together...as friends but also as servant and master. The governor tended to rely on that one servant as the only one he really knows. The boy was the only one he really knows. He is just a boy. As a Vermontonian, he expected payment for work. The payment did not happen but he was given compliments and reassurance that he would always be his....boy. The man also cut his face to make him kind of faceless and so the boy put wax on the spot. The boy tried to plan a wedding celebration with the servant girl like what he read in the bible and the marooned governor got very angry and behaved badly until the girl his and then the governor said its just that he needed all the boy's attention, needed his help. The governor burned the servant's Vermont citizenship documents to make him kind of nameless. The boy learned other ways to express his feelings. Expression is everything. Slavery was considered unnatural by the Romans under Justinian law. See the "Corpus Juris Civilis". Steven Hawking agrees. Money and Labour The motive behind commerce is money. The motive behind the 14th amendment is commerce and money. We want everyone to benefit equally when they have contributed equally. There is no other way. We could accept that all kinds of human labor became increasingly redundant due to new labor saving technology. We also save money on what the machine does for us. Now that there are fewer people working due to machinery doing work, we find we have less products sold. This is ironic as the products were made by machines with intent to make more profit. So, we decided to give everybody a little money, not a lot, to be sure we make the profit. The little money we give everyone is taken from consumer tax dollars. The money used to retrofit the factories with robots and machines is also taken from consumer tax dollars. When you have black children and white children, you want them to benefit equally in your country and also on your golf course. That is what a good father would do or would he instill a White hegemony since in his story book from the 1700's in Jamaica, he did not really see you in the book as a Moor Berber Priest in England, Italy, in France or Holland or as the architect. But, I suppose its just a book. All we are trying to find is( ..not 11000 votes but...) 11 cents a minute per citizen( 20 cents is preferred ) in North America as the minimum , enforced basic and standard amount of income support. We adapt new phone technology, home appliance technology, food preparation technology where you can just add watts or water to make the pudding or the Cake and we also adapt new humans-less AI work technology and so we adapt money as technology so we can acquire all the other various technologies that make life comfortable. Money as technology is the priority above and beyond all other technologies. Money is technology. In quick summary, watching the US presidencies and American political news television is like seeing a Court jester distracting you from the real issues like comparably equal income support money across North America to assist in balancing out consumer stimulus across the country and to ensure effective profit returns in all states or markets. This is while he hides his own intrinsic pain.
