Getting Started With FOSOAuthServerBundle
=========================================

## Prerequisites

This version of the bundle requires Symfony 2.1.
If you are using Symfony 2.0.x, please use the 1.1.1 release of the bundle (or lower), and follow
[this documentation](https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSOAuthServerBundle/blob/1.1.1/README.md).

#### Translations

If you wish to use default texts provided in this bundle, you have to make sure you have translator enabled in your config:

    # app/config/config.yml

    framework:
        translator: { fallback: en }

For more information about translations, check [Symfony documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/translation.html).

## Installation

Installation is a quick 5 steps process:

1. Download FOSOAuthServerBundle
2. Enable the Bundle
3. Create your model class
4. Configure your application's security.yml
5. Configure the FOSOAuthServerBundle

### Step 1: Install FOSOAuthServerBundle

The preferred way to install this bundle is to rely on [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).
Just check on [Packagist](http://packagist.org/packages/friendsofsymfony/oauth-server-bundle) the version you want to install (in the following example, we used "dev-master") and add it to your `composer.json`:

``` js
{
    "require": {
        // ...
        "friendsofsymfony/oauth-server-bundle": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

### Step 2: Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

``` php
<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new FOS\OAuthServerBundle\FOSOAuthServerBundle(),
    );
}
```

### Step 3: Create model classes

This bundle needs to persist some classes to a database:

- `Client` (OAuth2 consumers)
- `AccessToken`
- `RefreshToken`
- `AuthCode`

Your first job, then, is to create these classes for your application.
These classes can look and act however you want: add any
properties or methods you find useful.

These classes have just a few requirements:

1. They must extend one of the base classes from the bundle
2. They must have an `id` field

In the following sections, you'll see examples of how your classes should
look, depending on how you're storing your data.

Your classes can live inside any bundle in your application. For example,
if you work at "Acme" company, then you might create a bundle called `AcmeApiBundle`
and place your classes in it.

**Warning:**

> If you override the __construct() method in your classes, be sure
> to call parent::__construct(), as the base class depends on
> this to initialize some fields.

#### Doctrine ORM classes

If you're persisting your data via the Doctrine ORM, then your classes
should live in the `Entity` namespace of your bundle and look like this to
start:

``` php
<?php
// src/Acme/ApiBundle/Entity/Client.php

namespace Acme\ApiBundle\Entity;

use FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Entity\Client as BaseClient;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Client extends BaseClient
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }
}
```

``` php
<?php
// src/Acme/ApiBundle/Entity/AccessToken.php

namespace Acme\ApiBundle\Entity;

use FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Entity\AccessToken as BaseAccessToken;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class AccessToken extends BaseAccessToken
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Client")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(nullable=false)
     */
    protected $client;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Your\Own\Entity\User")
     */
    protected $user;
}
```

``` php
<?php
// src/Acme/ApiBundle/Entity/RefreshToken.php

namespace Acme\ApiBundle\Entity;

use FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Entity\RefreshToken as BaseRefreshToken;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class RefreshToken extends BaseRefreshToken
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Client")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(nullable=false)
     */
    protected $client;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Your\Own\Entity\User")
     */
    protected $user;
}
```

``` php
<?php
// src/Acme/ApiBundle/Entity/AuthCode.php

namespace Acme\ApiBundle\Entity;

use FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Entity\AuthCode as BaseAuthCode;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class AuthCode extends BaseAuthCode
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Client")
     * @ORM\JoinColumn(nullable=false)
     */
    protected $client;

    /**
     * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Your\Own\Entity\User")
     */
    protected $user;
}
```

__Note__: If you don't have `auto_mapping` activated in your doctrine configuration you need to add
`FOSOAuthServerBundle` to your mappings in `config.yml`.

#### Propel

A `schema.xml` is provided with this bundle to generate Propel classes.
You have to install the [TypehintableBehavior](https://github.com/willdurand/TypehintableBehavior) before to build your model.

By using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org), you just have to add the following line in your `composer.json`:

``` json
{
    "require": {
        "willdurand/propel-typehintable-behavior": "*"
    }
}
```

By using Git submodules:

    $ git submodule add http://github.com/willdurand/TypehintableBehavior.git vendor/willdurand/propel-typehintable-behavior

By using the Symfony2 vendor management:

```ini
[TypehintableBehavior]
    git=http://github.com/willdurand/TypehintableBehavior.git
    target=/willdurand/propel-typehintable-behavior
```

Then, register it:

```ini
# app/config/propel.ini
propel.behavior.typehintable.class = vendor.willdurand.propel-typehintable-behavior.src.TypehintableBehavior
```

You now can run the following command to create the model:

    $ php app/console propel:model:build

> To create SQL, run the command propel:sql:build and insert it or use migration commands if you have an existing schema in your database.

#### Doctrine ODM classes
``` php
<?php

// src/Acme/ApiBundle/Document/Client.php

namespace Acme\ApiBundle\Document;

use FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Document\Client as BaseClient;

class Client extends BaseClient
{
    protected $id;
}
```

        <reference-one target-document="Acme\ApiBundle\Document\Client" field="client" />
    </document>

</doctrine-mongo-mapping>
```

### Step 4: Configure your application's security.yml

In order for Symfony's security component to use the FOSOAuthServerBundle, you must
tell it to do so in the `security.yml` file. The `security.yml` file is where the
basic configuration for the security for your application is contained.

Below is a minimal example of the configuration necessary to use the FOSOAuthServerBundle
in your application:

``` yaml
# app/config/security.yml
security:
    firewalls:
        oauth_token:
            pattern:    ^/oauth/v2/token
            security:   false

        oauth_authorize:
            pattern:    ^/oauth/v2/auth
            # Add your favorite authentication process here

        api:
            pattern:    ^/api
            fos_oauth:  true
            stateless:  true
            anonymous:  false # can be omitted as its default value

    access_control:
        - { path: ^/api, roles: [ IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY ] }
```

The URLs under `/api` will use OAuth2 to authenticate users.

#### Anonymous access

Sometimes you need to allow your api to be accessed without authorization. In order to do that lets adjust
above-mentioned example configuration.

``` yaml
# app/config/security.yml
security:
    firewalls:
        oauth_token:
            pattern:    ^/oauth/v2/token
            security:   false

        oauth_authorize:
            pattern:    ^/oauth/v2/auth
            # Add your favorite authentication process here

        api:
            pattern:    ^/api
            fos_oauth:  true
            stateless:  true
            anonymous:  true # note that anonymous access is now enabled

    # also note absence of "access_control" section
```

From now on all of your api resources can be accessed without authorization. But what if one or more of them should be
secured anyway or/and require presence of authenticated user? It's easy! You can do that manually by adding few lines of
code at the beginning of all of your secured actions like in the example below:

``` php
// [...]
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;

class YourApiController extends Controller
{
    public function getSecureResourceAction()
    {
        # this is it
        if (false === $this->get('security.context')->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY')) {
            throw new AccessDeniedException();
        }

        // [...]
    }
```

### Step 5: Configure FOSOAuthServerBundle

Import the routing.yml configuration file in app/config/routing.yml:

``` yaml
# app/config/routing.yml
fos_oauth_server_token:
    resource: "@FOSOAuthServerBundle/Resources/config/routing/token.xml"

fos_oauth_server_authorize:
    resource: "@FOSOAuthServerBundle/Resources/config/routing/authorize.xml"
```

Add FOSOAuthServerBundle settings in app/config/config.yml:

``` yaml
# app/config/config.yml
fos_oauth_server:
    db_driver: orm       # Driver availables: orm, mongodb, or propel
    client_class:        Acme\ApiBundle\Entity\Client
    access_token_class:  Acme\ApiBundle\Entity\AccessToken
    refresh_token_class: Acme\ApiBundle\Entity\RefreshToken
    auth_code_class:     Acme\ApiBundle\Entity\AuthCode
```

With Propel for example, you can use the default classes:

``` yaml
# app/config/config.yml
fos_oauth_server:
    db_driver: propel
    client_class:        FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Propel\Client
    access_token_class:  FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Propel\AccessToken
    refresh_token_class: FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Propel\RefreshToken
    auth_code_class:     FOS\OAuthServerBundle\Propel\AuthCode
```

If you're authenticating users, don't forget to set the user provider.
Here's an example using the FOSUserBundle user provider:

``` yaml
# app/config/config.yml
fos_oauth_server:
    ...

    service:
        user_provider: fos_user.user_provider.username
```

## Creating A Client

Before you can generate tokens, you need to create a Client using the ClientManager.

``` php
$clientManager = $this->getContainer()->get('fos_oauth_server.client_manager.default');
$client = $clientManager->createClient();
$client->setRedirectUris(array('http://www.example.com'));
$client->setAllowedGrantTypes(array('token', 'authorization_code'));
$clientManager->updateClient($client);
```

Once you have created a client, you need to pass its `publicId` to the authorize endpoint. You also need
to specify a redirect uri as well as a response type.

```php
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('fos_oauth_server_authorize', array(
    'client_id'     => $client->getPublicId(),
    'redirect_uri'  => 'http://www.example.com',
    'response_type' => 'code'
)));
```

## Usage

The `token` endpoint is at `/oauth/v2/token` by default (see `Resources/config/routing/token.xml`).

The `authorize` endpoint is at `/oauth/v2/auth` by default (see `Resources/config/routing/authorize.xml`).

Anyone can take mussels from the Taw Torridge Estuary mussel beds though the area is an SSSI designated for birds which feed there. When recently the mussels attracted fishers outside the area the Devon & Severn Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority (IFCA) stepped in to protect the stocks at acceptable levels.
They introduced a licensing system that serves local interests whilst deterring those from further afield, and in our latest talk Sarah Clark, Deputy Chief Officer Environment, cited this successful example of IFCA's sensitive role in protecting the marine environment from damaging fishing activity.
Sarah used examples such as this to illuminate the complex policy and regulation that now governs the various Marine Protected Area designations, and the lengthy processes that follow designation with their unfamiliar language, bringing her material to life.
IFCA's remit has increased greatly since the 2009 Marine Act, with the advent of Marine Conservations Zones bringing the total Devon MPA area to 40%, now including in North Devon Hartland and Bideford to Foreland Point MCZs.
Even so Devon & Severn as one of the largest IFCAs, has one of the smallest budgets. Quite clearly they have a very challenging job to do, Sarah's excellent presentation gives us confidence that for their part at least our coast is in good hands.


After years of development, Magic Leap surprised everyone by finally launching the creator's edition of their augmented reality headset last August. Although I don't wish to sound mean about it, the headset had been in development for so long with so little information released that many were starting to question if it would ever release at all!
Well, it has, and it's here (kind of).
Following the release of an amazing tech demo of Angry Birds last week though, things are Magic Leap One appears to have taken a less pleasant turn. In a report via Games Industry, the company is part of a contract war seeking to get funding for the use of the technology for military purposes.
In fairness, I'm not going to solely demonist Magic Leap. Why? Well, the report also names Microsoft as an interested party for the AR contract. In addition, we already know that Google is already working with several military arms of the US government. As such, news like this isn't (sadly) unusual. It is, however, a little sad to see Magic Leap going into for these sorts of deals so quickly after releasing their product to the public.
Military contracts can be huge money spinners. By huge, we mean colossal. While I daresay that many of the team at Magic Leap won't like this news, getting a military contract can ensure a companies sustainability for many years to come. We might not like it, but it is simply the direction the tech industry goes in at times!


Talking about power doesn't come easily or naturally for most girls and women. Yet, whether a girl talks to you about it or not, she is digesting ideas about the power she possesses - or lacks - every day. This activity provides a way to have a thoughtful conversation about what she's digesting, be it the traditional, media-driven notions of power, more next-generation, progressive ideas about power, or both.
Please note, almost any discussions of power can be emotionally heavy for you, the adult. But strong opinions or "telling" a girl what to think defeats the purpose here. Let a girl go first in sharing opinions and use a 3:1 rule. For every 3 things she says, you say one.
1. Together, decide on a definition of power.
2. Fold a piece of paper into thirds. On the tops of the page write the words "power-over","power-under", and "powerful".
3. Flip through magazines to pull images that represent these words.
- What did you notice about their collage?
- Are there any themes?
- Who did they mark as powerful and why?
- Do certain groups of people have more power in our society/or community? (i.e. men, white folks, rich people, police officers, etc). If so, why do they think that is?
- How do these definitions of power support or defy more traditional ones?
- What do you think is powerful about yourself?

BBC Airs Assisted Suicide
Karen Scoggins
By the time you read this post, television will have hit a new low. The BBC will have aired "Choosing to Die," a documentary in which Peter Smedley, a 71-year-old millionaire hotel owner with Lou Gehrig's disease, takes a lethal dose of barbiturates at "Dignitas," an assisted suicide clinic in Switzerland.
The project is the brainchild of Sir Terry Pratchett, a science fiction writer and vocal proponent of assisted suicide , about whom we've written several times, most recently last month (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2011/05/people-with-disabilities-in-the-uk-fear-assisted-suicide/).
"This is yet another blatant example of the BBC playing the role of cheerleader in the vigorous campaign being staged by the pro-euthanasia lobby to legalise assisted suicide in Britain," said Peter Saunders, a spokesman for the group Care Not Killing. "The BBC is actively fuelling this move to impose assisted suicide on this country and runs the risk of pushing vulnerable people over the edge into taking their lives. It is also flouting both its own guidelines on suicide portrayal and impartiality."
If showing the documentary weren't enough, BBC Two's Newsnight programme will feature both an interview with Pratchett and a studio debate.
The British pro-life group SPUC sent out an advisory to its members, highlighting just some of the documentary's flaws, based on the comments of Geoff Morris. According to SPUC:
Geoff Morris, a disabled man severely affected by multiple sclerosis, has expressed a series of scathing criticisms of the documentary, after watching an advance screening. His observations give grave cause for concern that the documentary:
presents a fictionalised picture of the Swiss suicide system;
is strongly biased in favour of this highly controversial suicide process;
fails to address any objections or alternatives to assisted suicide.
Mr Morris' comments included the following comments about the documentary (see www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2002411/BBC-suicide-documentary-Im-terminally-ill–saccharine-portrayal-appals-me.html?printingPage=truer ):
"shameless propaganda"
"grossly misleading and unbalanced"
"Sir Terry and the producers have presented this type of suicide as an enriching, even uplifting choice"
"a repellent exercise in deceit"
"untrue and distorted"
"fails to acknowledge any of the serious concerns about assisted suicide"
"riddled with myth-making".
SPUC goes on to list four other examples in which it says the BBC violated "its public service duty to impartiality." They include
"I'll Die When I Choose", 8 December 2008
"A Short Stay in Switzerland", January 2009
"Shaking hands with death", 1 February 2010, also featuring Sir Terry Pratchett
"Inside Out", BBC West Midlands, 15 February 2010.
SPUC concludes, "By broadcasting a person's suicide, and providing a platform for the promotion of assisted suicide. the BBC is undermining suicide prevention campaigns, including BBC and World Health Organisation (WHO) guidance on media coverage regarding suicide (http://pjsaunders.blogspot.com/2011/06/bbcs-pratchett-programme-is-further.html)."

What is the Difference Between Kathak and Bharatnatyam
by Anuradha
The main difference between Kathak and Bharatnatyam is that Bharatnatyam is a South Indian dance tradition that originated around the state of Tamil Nadu, whereas Kathak is a Northern Indian dance tradition that was initially developed in Hindu temples.
Kathak and Bharatnatyam are two classical dance forms of India. Both Kathak and Bharatnatyam mark their origins around the Hindu temples and have a very long history.

4. Difference Between Kathak and Bharatnatyam
Classical Dance, Kathak, Bharatnatyam
What is Kathak
Kathak is an Indian classical dance form that originated in North India. Kathak originated in Hindu temples mainly as a storytelling device that portrayed the epic tales of Mahabharata, Ramayana, and Hindu scriptures. In the beginning, Kathak performance poetry was combined with the rhythmic movement of the dancer in order to deliver devoted storytelling.
However, Kathak story performances that started inside the North Indian Hindu temples did not remain inside the temple walls for a long period of time. The wandering storytellers who were known as Nomadic Kathakars started to spread the Kathak dance tradition throughout India. Later on, Katha performers included facial expressions and different emotions in their performances, further developing the dance tradition with the addition of different elements of theatricality and of mime performances.
There are three main gharanas or schools of Kathak dance: Lucknow, Varanasi, and Jaipur. This dance form also has two main forms: nritya (pure dance) and abhinaya (expressions). Moreover, Kathak uses an intricate system of footwork, and dancers create complex rhythmic patterns with the use of the flat feet and the sound of the ankle bells they wear. In addition, dancers use their upper body movements, neck movements, eyes and eyebrow movements, facial expressions, bends, and turns to narrate a tale.
What is Bharatnatyam
Bharatnatyam is a South Indian classical dance tradition that is considered to be the oldest classical dance heritage of India. In the beginning. Bharatnatyam was a solo dance performed only by female dancers in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu.
Furthermore, the theoretical foundation of Bharatnatyam extends back to 'Natya Shastra,' which is an ancient Sanskrit Hindu text based on the performing arts. In Bharatnatyam, dancers emote the illustrative tales of Hindu religion and spiritual ideas with their impressive footwork and gestures. The performances typically involve natya, nrita, and nritya, and the dancer is usually accompanied by music, a singer, and especially a guru who conducts and directs the performance of the dancer.
Bharatnatyam, as a performing art, has continued to inspire several other forms of art forms such as sculptures and paintings, beginning with the picturesque CE temple sculptures of the 6th century.
Similarities Between Kathak and Bharatnatyam
Both Kathak and Bharatnatyam are two forms of Indian Classical Dance.
In addition, they have a long history.
Both Kathak and Bharatnatyam mark their origins around the Hindu temples in India.
Moreover, Kathak and Bharatnatyam dancers use many facial expressions.
They are both equally popular among the Classical dancing lovers in India.
Difference Between Kathak and Bharatnatyam
Bharatnatyam is a South Indian classical dance tradition that originated around the state of Tamil Nadu, whereas Kathak is a Northern Indian classical dance tradition that initially started in Hindu temples.
Bharatnatyam originated in the Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu, while Katha dancing tradition originated in North India.
Tales Involved
Bharatnatyam is based on the tales of Lord Shiva, while Kathak dance tradition has evolved from the stories of Radha and Krishna.
Dancing Postures
In Bharatnatyam, the performer uses many mudras and hip movements that involve most of the stage space. Moreover, Bharatnatyam movements take after the movements of a dancing flame or fire, and the dancer uses more sitting or bent knees postures. In contrast, in Kathak dancing, the dancer uses a standing posture throughout the performance, and any hip movements can be rarely seen.

Meet The Grand Council, a group of spiritual guides and energies, who, through Megan and Diane, work closely with you and other Awakened Masters to accelerate a powerful awakening of humanity in our world today.
The Grand Council is one of many Councils in the spiritual realms.
What distinguishes this Council from others is that it represents all of the world's known traditions (often referred to as spiritual, religious, philosophical and mythological).
As said elsewhere in this website, such characteristics ascribed to figures such as: Jesus, Mohammed, Poseidon, Quan Yin, Pele, White Buffalo Woman, and many, many more, lend their particular resonance points to the Council's offerings.
One-to-One sessions are available to everyone who is inspired to speak with the Council. Normally, these sessions last 1-1.5 hours. The information that is shared with individuals in sessions is co-created from the fields of energies of all present.
The Council relies on the talent and integrity of the Oracle, Diane Wilcoxson, to deliver their messages in cogent, loving, honest, non-judgmental, intelligent ways.
Diane's 25-plus years of doing this sort of work equips her uniquely to represent the Council in this manner.
The Council also works directly through Megan Wagner, inspiring the Sacred Robes creations and many other forms of work that Megan does.
The Council has, in conjunction with Diane and Megan, agreed to emerge into the world at this time to help awakened Masters deepen and elevate understandings of their own Mastery. In order for this Mastery to have meaning and impact in the world we are newly forming together, programs and services have been put into place to assist any and all who intend to contribute to that.
For individual one-to-readings with the Council click here.
We look forward to working directly with you at some point.

The Fight Over Canada's Founding Prime Minister
Attacks on symbols of nationhood are not merely symbolic actions. They strike at the nationhood the symbol represents.
By David Frum
Chris Jobs / Alamy; Evgenia Vasileva / Getty; The Atlantic
Updated at 9:50 a.m. ET on June 22, 2021
The memory of John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister, is not thriving these days in the country he brought into being. In 2018, his image was removed from the Canadian $10 bill, which it had decorated since 1971. His name has been quietly scrubbed from the Ottawa airport named in his honor in 1993. In August 2020, vandals toppled a statue of Macdonald in Montreal. The city of Kingston, Ontario, legally removed his statue on June 18—a special blow to Macdonald's memory in the city he represented in Parliament throughout most of his career.* This summer, the province of Prince Edward Island removed a modern statue of Macdonald from its capital, Charlottetown. Even the small town of Picton, Ontario, where Macdonald argued his first law cases, will soon remove a statue erected with donations from local residents, my wife's family among them. Macdonald's name has been erased from university and school buildings, and even book prizes.
These changes are not driven by public opinion. A 2018 poll by the Angus Reid Institute found that 70 percent of Canadians opposed the erasure of Macdonald's image, compared with only 11 percent who supported it. Another poll in summer 2020 found that 75 percent of Canadians opposed the "spontaneous" teardown of Macdonald statues.
In his lifetime, Macdonald often remarked, "Forms are things." Attacks on symbols of nationhood are not merely symbolic actions. They strike at the nationhood the symbols represent. By the standards of any age, Macdonald was a good-humored, tolerant, liberal-minded man. He was legendary for his indulgence of criticism, for the charm of his personality. In 1885, he introduced a law that would have extended suffrage to property-owning unmarried women and widows. As attorney general of the pre-confederation province of Canada, he battled to protect escaped American slaves from extradition. His government persuaded the British government in 1862 to pass a new habeas corpus act that imposed new restrictions on cooperation with U.S. slave hunters. He welcomed Jewish immigration to Canada and for a long time strenuously but unsuccessfully resisted efforts to exclude Chinese immigrants (he later flip-flopped when he saw that the cause was lost). He headed a political coalition that bridged Canada's great divide between French speakers and English speakers—and worked all his life for accommodation and respect between the two mutually suspicious cultures. Macdonald shared many of the prejudices of his time—as you and I share the prejudices of ours. Perhaps our prejudices will look better a century and a half hence than Macdonald's look now. Perhaps not.
Read: What is Canada?
Why is Macdonald suddenly so beleaguered? Why does a motivated minority want to erase the honors paid to his memory? Macdonald stands accused by his detractors less of things he did than of things he failed to do. He failed to provide sufficient aid to Indigenous people impoverished by the disappearance of the buffalo from the western prairies. He failed to anticipate the abuses that would arise in the residential schools his government created for Native students. More fundamentally, Macdonald set his face against the attempt to preserve Native societies as independent sovereignties within Canada. He wanted to bring them into Canada as farmers, citizens, and voters. He wrote in 1887: "The great aim of our legislation has been to do away with the tribal system and assimilate the Indian people in all respects with the other inhabitants of the Dominion as speedily as they are fit to change." Macdonald believed that assimilation would save people endangered by the collapse of their accustomed way of life—and allow them to be welcomed as equals into the country he was building.
Macdonald's assimilationist policies have fallen out of favor with Canadian governments and the dominant voices in Canadian media and academia. Today's approach includes formal recognition of Native sovereignty and large, permanent, economic support of Native communities. Public meetings in Canada regularly open by acknowledging that they occur on historic lands of Indian nations.
Macdonald is probably not well known outside Canada. Unlike George Washington, Simón Bolivar, Toussaint L'Ouverture, or other founders of New World states, Macdonald was not a military hero. In fact, Canada stands out from all the other states between Patagonia and the 49th parallel for its purely civilian origins. Macdonald was a politician, not a hero. Probably the most famous anecdote about him concerns the time he got so drunk at a political rally that he threw up onstage at an all-candidates' meeting. He answered complaints about his drinking by mocking his rival of the day: "The people would prefer John A. drunk to George Brown sober!"
Yet it remains a blunt historical fact, to quote Macdonald's most recent biographer, Richard Gwyn: "No Macdonald, no Canada."
Back in the 1860s, the idea of stringing together into a single country the British colonies north of the 49th parallel seemed illusory, if not preposterous. It was not just expansion-minded Americans who expected to unite the continent from the North Pole to the Rio Grande under the Stars and Stripes. So did most of Canada's British overlords, especially after the British tilted a little too closely to the losing side of the U.S. Civil War. The British colonies in North America were so far-flung, more than 3,000 miles from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. In all this vast territory lived only about 3.5 million people, connected by a few hundred miles of railway line—which was maybe just as well, considering the mutual hostility of the French-speaking minority and the English-speaking majority. Maybe you had to be drunk to believe that any of this could work.
But work it did, from confederation in 1867 through Macdonald's death in office in 1891 and counting, toward the 154th Canada Day on July 1. Canada has no cities as old as Athens, Berlin, Cairo, Delhi, Dublin, Moscow, Paris, or Rome—but it can claim a continuous legal existence longer than any of the national governments in those cities. Canada has worked thanks in great part to the political institutions and systems Macdonald created, including his cheerful use of patronage as a tool of power, a tradition that flourishes in Canada to this day.
The Canada that Macdonald assembled in 1867 stopped just a little north and west of Lake Superior. The terrain beyond that—what's now northern Quebec and northern Ontario; almost all of what's now the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, plus a goodish chunk of Nunavut—was acquired by Macdonald from the privately owned Hudson's Bay Company subsequent to confederation. Macdonald hoped that he could push a railway through the Hudson's Bay lands to reach the British settlements on the Pacific and thereby bring them into Canada too. In the process, he also assumed sovereignty over Plains Indian nations already on the verge of catastrophe for reasons that had nothing to do with Macdonald or Canada.
In the early 19th century, an estimated 30 million to 60 million buffalo roamed west of the Mississippi, from West Texas up into Canada. These herds supported Plains Indians populations, who ate their meat and hoisted shelters out of their hides. U.S. railway-building disrupted the habitats of the buffalo. American settlers hunted them almost to extinction. As Canadian authority reached the Great Plains after 1870, it encountered an Indigenous population facing ecological crisis. Crisis turned to starvation in the early 1880s.
In the House of Commons in April 1885, Macdonald offered this explanation of his actions in response to the disaster.
When the Indians are starving, they have been helped, but they have been reduced to one-half and one-quarter rations; but when they fall into a state of destitution we cannot allow them to die for want of food. It is true that Indians so long as they are fed will not work. I have reason to believe that the agents as a whole, and I am sure it is the same with the Commissioner, are doing all they can, by refusing food until the Indians are on the verge of starvation, to reduce the expense. The buffalo has disappeared during the past few years. Some few came over this year, and although their arrival relieved the Indians, it was rather sorry, looking to the future, that such was the case, as the Blackfeet, Bloods and Peigana who had settled on reserves at once returned to their nomadic habits and abandoned the settlements. It will occasionally happen that the agents will issue food too liberally … We hope that the Indians will now settle down, but Indians are Indians, and we must submit to frequent disappointments in the way of civilizing them.
In 2018, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation staged a debate over the question of whether Macdonald's actions and inactions amounted to "genocide." The accuser charged: "Forced starvation is the intentional deprivation of food necessary for survival. And we say it's a crime against humanity for a government to carry out a policy of forced starvation against its own people."
But the famine on the Plains in the 1880s was not set in motion by Macdonald or anyone else in Canadian government. The buffalo had genuinely gone, and not for a season or two, but forever. Something new had to be put in place, and again not for a season or two, but forever.
A generation later, Herbert Hoover and the Commission for Relief in Belgium would invent large-scale, long-term food assistance. That huge undertaking would mobilize the resources of the American economy to feed people displaced by the First World War. Grain and other foodstuffs would be shipped by sea into a region well served by ports, canals, and railways. Nothing like the Hoover effort had ever been attempted in world history—and it still left millions in desperate want.
By contrast, the government of Canada in the 1880s was connected to the West by a single unfinished railway line. From Halifax to Vancouver, the Canadian federal government employed maybe 2,000 people. The government's presence in the West was upheld by the few hundred troopers of what was not yet called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Beyond that, Canada had almost zero state capacity in the region of the buffalo crisis. The entire annual budget of Canada in the early 1880s totaled about $30 million in the money of the time. (Adjusting for price inflation, that is significantly about $800 million in modern Canadian money.)
The leading scholarly critic of Macdonald is James Daschuk, of the University of Regina. In a 2013 book, Clearing the Plains, Daschuk describes Macdonald welcoming the opportunity to relocate nomadic Plains Indians into fixed settlements, using food aid as a tool. Yet Daschuk also makes clear that the leading cause of death among the Plains Indians of the 1880s was not starvation, much less deliberate starvation, but the epidemics that followed the first encounters of previously isolated Native populations with new diseases. The Hudson's Bay Company, then the Canadian government, conducted smallpox-vaccination programs among the Plains Indians beginning as early as the 1830s. But there were no vaccines yet for tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other epidemic killers.
David Frum: Canada got Better. The United States got Trump.
The buffalo crisis only weakened the resistance of already susceptible populations. Food relief could be sent, and it was, although in inadequate amounts and sometimes in poor condition. But what was needed was a new economy for the people of the Plains.
Macdonald habitually referred to Indigenous people as "the original owners of the soil." Macdonald's defeated 1885 law to extend voting rights to female property owners would also have enfranchised many Native people. He attempted, also unsuccessfully, to recruit Indigenous people into what would become the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. To advance his hopes of equal citizenship for Native people, Macdonald initiated a plan to teach them farming and industrial skills. A network of residential schools was established, operated by churches. The schools separated children from their families in hope of speeding the acculturation process. They operated in English and French, not Native languages. In Macdonald's day, attendance was voluntary, but after 1920 it became compulsory.
These schools proved to be a disastrous failure. In 2006, the government of Canada paid $1.9 billion in compensation to surviving graduates of the schools. A scathing investigation, completed in 2015, detailed the psychological and often physical abuse inflicted in the schools. Last month, the harrowing story was dramatized by a terrible new revelation: the discovery of the remains of 215 children and teenagers buried near the residential schools in Kamloops, British Columbia.
It's not known when the children and teens died, or why, or how. But the stark reality of 215 buried bodies has jolted opinion across Canada. The jagged digits 215 have been splashed on public monuments in angry protest—with memorials to Macdonald the most frequently defaced.
As the person who proposed the schools, Macdonald shares the blame for their grim human consequences. But Macdonald critics slight the fact that the worst wrongs in the schools happened after Macdonald had left this Earth, and could neither be aware of them, nor correct them.
The tragedy of history is that many terrible things happen because of human error, or even the inherent intractability of human problems, not human guilt. The Canadian state of the early 1880s was weak and poor, and only hazily in control of the massive slice of map labeled with its name in the world atlas. Canadian leaders wielded scanty resources and were guided by inadequate information. These unsatisfactory but uncriminal realities have been frothed into a language of "genocide" and "democide" invented in other places to describe the worst atrocities in human history.
In 1967, James Coburn starred in the dark comedy The President's Analyst. The president of the United States is feeling depressed, so he summons a therapist to help. The therapist instantly becomes the single most important intelligence asset on Earth. He is ensnared in ever more absurd plots to capture and interrogate him. One of the plots is masterminded from Ottawa. The kidnappers explain their actions: They are tired of being unimportant.
Just as an earlier generation of Canadian writers and thinkers sought to repurpose Macdonald as Canada's substitute for Washington and Lincoln, so some current politicians and journalists now seek to repurpose him as Canada's Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee. Like the analyst's kidnappers in the movie, they are tired of having unvandalized statues. It's still mimicry, this time in reverse.
This is not a "reckoning with history." It's a refusal to reckon with the actual possibilities open to the people of the past. This is not "moral responsibility." It's a flight from responsibility into rituals of self-purification through denunciation and destruction. It is easier to perform outrage than to improve outcomes in education, addiction, and economic development.
What's happening to Macdonald's memory in Canada is wrong both in the sense that it's untrue and in the sense that it's unjust. Leave Macdonald's monuments to weather in the respect they deserve, in the parks and squares of the gentle country he founded in his own kindly image.

Plextronics – Is The Next Big Thing Flat?
What's the next big thing in light? Well, it just may be an array of products that will revolutionize the way we look at our phones and even how we watch television. The innovative new products will use an energy efficient technology that's a perfect example of what can go right when academia, industry, and the government collaborate.
Richard McCullough, a chemistry professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, toiled away for more than a decade, aiming for the stars, and hoping to revolutionize the way traditional lighting is used. In the 1990s, after a decade of federally-funded research, he developed a new conductive polymer technology that allows organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS) to shine brighter and appear crisper, all while being more energy and cost efficient than their predecessors, the LEDs and LCDs, that we're used to seeing on the market. In fact, this new technology wasn't a bulb at all; in fact it was most similar to an ink!
After applying for a patent for this new conductive "ink," McCullough and entrepreneur Andrew W. Hannah started a company in Pittsburgh in 2002 in order to develop commercial applications for the new technology, the company is known today, as Plextronics.
Plextronics currently has 72 employees, including 23 men and women with PhDs. The company now manufactures and supplies customized inks throughout the world to enhance OLED performance for next generation displays and lighting applications, lithium ion batteries, polymer metal capacitors, and emerging organic electronic devices. This year, Plextronics received a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award from the Department of Energy to continue designing and developing conductive polymers and printable formulations that improve the manufacturing and functioning of electronic devices.
Consumers are already seeing smartphones with better, more energy efficient displays, and, as the technology improves, it will find its way into devices with increasingly larger screens, changing the way we approach devices, like iPad's. They are expected to enhance the quality and performance of TVs, and even light bulbs will be affected by the new technology, although, if Plextronics has their way, we wouldn't buy "bulbs" to light our homes and streets, at all.

Tampa Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
The mild climate in and around Tampa makes it a great place to ride a motorcycle, but busy streets and distracted drivers increase the chances of being in an accident. Rarely is there such a thing as a minor motorcycle accident. Other than perhaps a helmet, nearly all motorcycle riders are exposed and unprotected. There isn't a steel body with a frame surrounding them, and there aren't any crumple zones either. Air bags and seat restraint systems are non-existent.

I Got Hit by a Drunk Driver, Can I Sue?
You are driving down the road and hear the crunch of metal, airbags deploy, and you are jostled from your seat, with only your seatbelt holding you in place. After the car stops you take a deep breath and start to gather your surroundings. Adrenaline is rushing and your hands start shaking while you try and grab your cell phone. After a moment your breathing starts to get back to normal and you dial 911. You are sore and your body aches, but you are able to get out of the car and see the impact. The driver who hit you gets out of their truck and you start to exchange insurance information. Immediately, you smell the odor of alcohol on their breath and notice their eyes are bloodshot and watery, while they talk to you with slurred speech. The police arrive and they begin the exchange of information. While taking your statement you tell them what happened, and that the other driver may be under the influence of alcohol. The adrenaline in your body subsides after an hour and you realize that you are injured and you seek medical attention. You wonder, what do I do next?
