For now, just call it the festival formerly known as Caribana. Toronto’s massive mid-summer Caribbean celebration is being renamed. Last Thursday, the Ontario Superior Court ruled that it can no longer use the name Caribana because it is trademarked by a group that founded the festival, but no longer runs it. “There is no change to the festival,” said Chris Alexander, chief administrative officer of the Festival Management Committee, which has run Caribana for the past five years. “The only thing that has changed is the name. “And people will still call it that.” But behind the Caribana name change, there’s an ongoing struggle for control over the massively popular celebration.

He is really the son of an New Brunswick rebel that would not kiss the eagle.  Then  they shipped this DNA to Assyria and made a baby in the presumption that he or it would be the King of Israel.  He has the position.  But he is not the King of England. England  does not exist yet.   His mother was a maid. His father was a Sheep herder but their owners sent them to Israel as a regent family.   The child was told that they need nothing  for their acceptance but their skin.  The child was told they have the authority; that education is not needed as it will dilute us and if you hav...
