Third of four parts on April 10, 2022:
" In his unpublished Memoir, Nemon recorded finding his distinguished subject “bellicose, challenging, and deliberately provocative”. The resulting sculptures became “not merely a likeness, but a biography of his life” — as Nemon had told a journalist he hoped they would when interviewed while sculpting Churchill during the 1950s. Nemon was himself the subject of Churchill’s only sculpture, created while Nemon was sculpting Churchill, and now on display at Chartwell and in the Churchill Musuem." https://oscarnemon.org.uk/history/nemon-and-churchill/As an aside - I don't know why is it that we have some of the worst (in terms of execution) sculptures (nevermind public art) around. Whose idea is it to have Churchill looking shaggy?

That sidewalk work is sure taking a long time. Are they trying to beat Cumberland @ Yorkville Plaza’s record?
That's probably not this building's fault...rather the cut and gut intention of this sitting government for likely ideological purposes and it's voter base pandering. Also referred to as "looking for efficiencies". /blehAmalgamated courthouse in Toronto 'significant barrier' to justice, critics say
Sorry to say but this Courthouse and the amalgamation was announced in 2014 by Dalton McGuinty's finance minister Charles Sousa, this is not the current sitting governments doing.That's probably not this building's fault...rather the cut and gut intention of this sitting government for likely ideological purposes and it's voter base pandering.

Typical of politicians of all stripes: blame the current government for everything, even for decisions made by their own party when it was in power.Sorry to say but this Courthouse and the amalgamation was announced in 2014 by Dalton McGuinty's finance minister Charles Sousa, this is not the current sitting governments doing.
...who was also "looking for efficiencies". My point still remains though, it's not the fault of this building...rather the intention of this and previous government to amalgamate stuff they probably shouldn't for likely reasons I've stated.Sorry to say but this Courthouse and the amalgamation was announced in 2014 by Dalton McGuinty's finance minister Charles Sousa, this is not the current sitting governments doing.
To be clear, while this is mostly true...I am not a politician. I only went for it as this government would have been prime suspect outside of that prior knowledge, for right or wrong. However, as I indicate, if they doing nothing about a bad decision made previously, then they are just as guilty as those that implemented it, IMO...Typical of politicians of all stripes: blame the current government for everything, even for decisions made by their own party when it was in power.
No one in the group complaining about the amalgamated courthouse is a politician, there's no hypocritical party thing going on here,.Typical of politicians of all stripes: blame the current government for everything, even for decisions made by their own party when it was in power.
