Viola Desmond to be 1st Canadian woman on $10 bill

Proud moment for Canada

Black rights activist Viola Desmond to be 1st Canadian woman on $10 bill

Black rights activist Viola Desmond, who was jailed for defiantly sitting in the “whites only” section of a Nova Scotia film house, will be the first Canadian woman to be featured on the country’s $10 bill.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau and Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz announced the selection of the groundbreaking beautician and businesswoman during an announcement today at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Que.

Desmond’s image will replace that of Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister, on the purple banknote beginning in 2018.

Morneau called her an “extraordinary woman.”

Desmond is often referred to as “Canada’s Rosa Parks,” though her historic act of defiance occurred nine years before Parks famously refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala.

‘It’s a really big day to have my big sister on a banknote.’
– Wanda Robson, 89
At age 32, Desmond decided to go to the Roseland Theatre to see a movie while her car was getting fixed on Nov. 8, 1946, but she was thrown out of the “whites only” section and sent to jail. Black people could only sit in the balcony of the theatre.

The next morning, Desmond was convicted of defrauding the province of a one penny tax, the difference in tax between a downstairs and upstairs ticket, even though Desmond had asked to pay the one cent difference.

Desmond was released after paying a $20 fine and $6 in court costs. She appealed her conviction but lost.

Racial segregation challenge

Her court case was the first known legal challenge against racial segregation brought forward by a black woman in Canada, according to a Bank of Canada news release.

“Viola Desmond was a woman who broke down barriers, who provided inspiration to Canadians around social justice issues and showed that each and every one of us, individually, can make a difference,” Morneau said.

She was granted a free pardon posthumously in 2010 by former Nova Scotia lieutenant-governor Mayann Francis, the first black person to serve as the Queen’s representative in the province. The provincial government also issued a formal apology.

She died in 1965 at age 50.

Another iconic Canadian, who will be chosen at a later date, will be featured on a future $5 bill. Macdonald and Canada’s first francophone prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, will be featured on higher-value banknotes.

Those changes mean former prime ministers William Lyon Mackenzie King and Sir Robert Borden will no longer be featured on banknotes.

The legacy of Viola Desmond, right, who became a civil rights icon for her actions in the late 1940s, has been kept alive over the decades by her sister Wanda Robson, left. (Submitted by Wanda Robson)

Desmond’s younger sister, Wanda Robson, who is now 89, has kept her legacy alive by giving interviews and writing a book about her story. She attended Thursday’s announcement, and expressed pride and gratitude on behalf of the family.

    casibom güncel
    Son Zamanın En Fazla Beğenilen Bahis Platformu: Casibom

    Casino oyunlarını sevenlerin artık duymuş olduğu Casibom, son dönemde adından sıkça söz ettiren bir şans ve oyun platformu haline geldi. Türkiye’nin en başarılı casino sitelerinden biri olarak tanınan Casibom’un haftalık cinsinden değişen giriş adresi, piyasada oldukça taze olmasına rağmen emin ve kazandıran bir platform olarak öne çıkıyor.

    Casibom, rakiplerini geride bırakıp eski casino platformların geride bırakmayı başarmayı sürdürüyor. Bu alanda eski olmak önemli olsa da, katılımcılarla etkileşimde olmak ve onlara ulaşmak da aynı miktar değerli. Bu noktada, Casibom’un 7/24 yardım veren gerçek zamanlı destek ekibi ile rahatlıkla iletişime ulaşılabilir olması büyük önem taşıyan bir avantaj sağlıyor.

    Hızlıca artan oyuncu kitlesi ile dikkat çeken Casibom’un gerisindeki başarı faktörleri arasında, yalnızca bahis ve canlı olarak casino oyunlarıyla sınırlı olmayan geniş bir hizmetler yelpazesi bulunuyor. Atletizm bahislerinde sunduğu geniş seçenekler ve yüksek oranlar, katılımcıları çekmeyi başarıyor.

    Ayrıca, hem sporcular bahisleri hem de kumarhane oyunlar oyuncularına yönlendirilen sunulan yüksek yüzdeli avantajlı promosyonlar da dikkat çekiyor. Bu nedenle, Casibom kısa sürede sektörde iyi bir reklam başarısı elde ediyor ve önemli bir oyuncu kitlesi kazanıyor.

    Casibom’un kar getiren bonusları ve tanınırlığı ile birlikte, platforma üyelik nasıl sağlanır sorusuna da değinmek gereklidir. Casibom’a taşınabilir cihazlarınızdan, bilgisayarlarınızdan veya tabletlerinizden web tarayıcı üzerinden kolaylıkla ulaşılabilir. Ayrıca, web sitesinin mobil cihazlarla uyumlu olması da önemli bir fayda sağlıyor, çünkü artık neredeyse herkesin bir akıllı telefonu var ve bu telefonlar üzerinden hızlıca erişim sağlanabiliyor.

    Mobil cihazlarınızla bile yolda canlı olarak tahminler alabilir ve müsabakaları gerçek zamanlı olarak izleyebilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Casibom’un mobil uyumlu olması, ülkemizde kumarhane ve kumarhane gibi yerlerin kanuni olarak kapatılmasıyla birlikte bu tür platformlara erişimin büyük bir yolunu oluşturuyor.

    Casibom’un itimat edilir bir kumarhane web sitesi olması da önemli bir avantaj sunuyor. Belgeli bir platform olan Casibom, duraksız bir şekilde keyif ve kazanç sağlama imkanı sağlar.

    Casibom’a üye olmak da oldukça kolaydır. Herhangi bir belge gereksinimi olmadan ve ücret ödemeden siteye kolayca üye olabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, site üzerinde para yatırma ve çekme işlemleri için de birçok farklı yöntem bulunmaktadır ve herhangi bir kesim ücreti alınmamaktadır.

    Ancak, Casibom’un güncel giriş adresini izlemek de önemlidir. Çünkü canlı bahis ve oyun siteleri popüler olduğu için sahte platformlar ve dolandırıcılar da ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle, Casibom’un sosyal medya hesaplarını ve güncel giriş adresini düzenli olarak kontrol etmek elzemdir.

    Sonuç olarak, Casibom hem güvenilir hem de kazanç sağlayan bir kumarhane web sitesi olarak dikkat çekiyor. Yüksek ödülleri, geniş oyun alternatifleri ve kullanıcı dostu mobil uygulaması ile Casibom, casino sevenler için ideal bir platform sağlar.

    로드스탁과의 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자법의 새로운 영역

    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 증권 투자법의 한 방법으로, 상당한 이익율을 목표로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매력적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 사용하는 이 전략은 투자자들이 자신의 자금을 초과하는 투자금을 투입할 수 있도록 하여, 증권 장에서 더욱 큰 힘을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 원칙적으로 투자금을 빌려 운용하는 방법입니다. 예시를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 구매할 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본 투자 금액보다 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 취득하여, 증권 가격이 올라갈 경우 관련된 훨씬 더 큰 수익을 가져올 수 있게 됩니다. 하지만, 주식 가격이 내려갈 경우에는 그 피해 또한 증가할 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 잠재력이 높은 회사에 투자할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 회사에 큰 비중으로 투입하면, 성공할 경우 큰 이익을 획득할 수 있지만, 반대의 경우 상당한 위험성도 짊어져야 합니다. 따라서, 투자자는 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 장터 분석을 통해, 일정한 회사에 얼마만큼의 자금을 적용할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 이점과 위험 요소
    레버리지 스탁은 높은 수익을 제공하지만, 그만큼 상당한 위험성 수반합니다. 주식 시장의 변동성은 예상이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 늘 상장 추세를 면밀히 살펴보고, 손실을 최소로 줄일 수 있는 전략을 세워야 합니다.

    결론: 세심한 선택이 필요
    로드스탁에서 제공된 레버리지 스탁은 막강한 투자 도구이며, 잘 활용하면 많은 이익을 가져다줄 수 있습니다. 그러나 높은 위험도 신경 써야 하며, 투자 결정은 충분히 많은 정보와 신중한 생각 후에 진행되어야 합니다. 투자자 자신의 재정 상황, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 생각한 안정된 투자 계획이 핵심입니다.
