Emotional control is the issue and this is why you would kill a Jesus today when emotional control is the whole point of our ten commandments, our laws and our neighborly principles summarized as our ten commandments of communal living. Look into Jesus' eyes: Jesus is a Palestinian aboriginal born in his homeland that was suffering an occupation by a foreign Roman power and He had to deal with a foreign ruler who was also an aboriginal born in Britannia that was his homeland also suffering foreign rule and occupation under the Romans. You need to submit your ego to the personality of Jesus who picked up His cross, denied himself and followed the Holy spirit. He is not demeaning you as the only begotten son who was approved by the Father like Abel was approved in whom the Father is well pleased. To join Him is to have His approval and to deny there is any righteousness in you as separate from the Father. He is like the centurion; a man under orders and approved thereby the order giver just as Abel was approved since if you too do what is right will you not too be accepted? Abel heard and followed. Cain did his own thing but was offered a chance to also hear and receive approval since it is not Jesus' will that is being done but the will of the Fathah. Cain can take the offer and if he did hear God, how did he choose to reject himself and an association with the Fathah except that he made a choice to follow the emotion of jealousy instead of the emotion of family at all costs. The emotion of Jealousy destroys and the emotion of family builds. But, you don't want to believe that people actually watched Star Wars first and then read the bible and I don't know how to say it but....we don't know what you are asking but try the Buddha version maybe if you find the Euro version hard for you and listen to Watchmen Nee and Witness Lee. You will see; Sze Sze!! Yes; Warren wrote it but you can plagiarize this one!

Dr.No and Anglo self belief. See here for more. Now, we see there were run away slaves and there are also slave rebellion people who took great houses in the West Indies and in America too if they thought the family was too Christian with Christian young people or maybe they were ignorant and competitive if the mother thought she would steal from an elder to be bigger than and steal from her son where she will end up dead. Maybe they are not savvy enough if they do not want the house enough to just offer their flesh, something about the flesh in America to be able to be economic white which is the citizen and resident and that is what we call 'go up' like a damn fool, so the Immigration Officer is asked to let in any people on refugee applications that feel like they really want to own a house since they really should want to own it an there will be more bible drops and Stevie Wonder music on the radio to heal this ancestral emotional issue. The movie Dr. No (1962) is a litmus test to enable the population to see themselves. Some dark skin men see themselves as the Spectre agent who was kicked by Bond at the beginning of the movie during the drive from the Airport; rebellion or is it determined independence? Some people regardless of complexion identify with the Asian Creole police officer or the Afrique man in the red shirt and blue trousers who work with Bond and the American agent and who see that the future is interdependent. There is no 'I am up here' and 'you are down there' as people with good motivation regardless of complexion work together and old social and class maladies formed on ignorance and under education are put away and forgotten as based on light skinned as under educated and up but socially positioned vs, brown and any kind of work such as school work as down. What did you choose in the litmus test as to the character with which you identify? What character feels most like America today? Vincent Neil has Beige and Brown children by now. In spite of our right to basic income under a constitution, the populations that are willing to do anything to eat are his children and they are resilient but they are not usually very visible unless the economy and the constitution that manages does not cover the gaps in the economy that reconstructive technologies may create along with requisite solutions. But, what is a deadly sin if you need to eat; right? Where is...Daniels Stormy? How can anyone sin if all human behavior, although illegal is predicated on the economy's need for consumption except that it makes consumption in such a lawless and unsafe environment in the gist of Port Royal just an untenable phenomenon? Can we automate humane decision making to update the economies to manifest the intentions of the US Economy for the people and by the people to ensure the domestic tranquillity? The situation we see here with this dna is not a question of human capability and nor is there any shortage of desire to be accepted as 'good' but they were told in the West Indies and Georgia that they had the authority of the whole world after finishing their grade 8 education but then there is life experience and what you work out in your emotions based not on what you live but maybe what you see; on tv mostly and then you say I see a 'white Anglo people' who are enjoying life but you never figure that they pay twice as a victim of a fraud like you do but you realise you do pay twice but you were left at grade 8 to believe what ever you would imagine so then you decide that you are tired of being a victim so then you will see yourself essentially as Black but you could maybe pass for something else and you then determine to improve the life experiences of your people and your self with a look that is closer to what you imagine as economic white; maybe South Asian is the look you are after and you are working hard to incubate this dna and your look right there in Haiti or the West Indies. Now, you have ten children who are more Asian but you are hoping to pass as economic white but you hate white and truly you are still stuck in black while you should have chosen citizen and educate honestly since why would you believe white people have no authority as it comes to building and owning property in your ancestral lands in the West Indies. That hotel land is probably owned by the Hotel and they can certainly tell you not to pick up and eat the mango on their front lawn and that must take a lot of education not as to head rights any more but just the simple courtesy and respect for the citizen. Your South Asian looking children do not speak any other language but English and they were born in Haiti or Belize and some where Turbans in parts of the Anglo world, they may steal people's property like you that includes essays and they act like their imagination about 'economic white' or 'white' gives them the authority to do it but I know white people or Beige people go to jail a lot but soon they will only get 4 day sentences with basic income since one year in detention costs the government economy about $75000.00 per year but it does not stimulate the economy with sales of consumer goods, gasoline, vehicles and storage but basic income at $50,000.00 per citizen per year in the Anglo world is a big boost to our economy and it helps our hegemony in the hegemony war as your economic competitors drew a line at language groups to ask what language groups believe in themselves and that are unified regardless of complexion. The Anglo on every front or metric comes last as to belief. If you did believe in your culture as Anglos, you would put in the basic income to keep the Anglo so that he can propagate some aspect of his culture or at least propagate his consumer buying tastes since the moral majority is one thing but he needs to remember the consumer voice and the consumer majority in dictating what 'noodo'(as in noodles) will be sold in your local supermarkets. The point is that if you did have the belief in Anglo human viability after an automated economy, then you would just give your people the basic income monies within your socio-economic expectations for the propagation of the Anglo cultural belief regardless of complexion just like the Asians and the Europeans. Is Anglo just an accent for any Algerian to pick up who might have the smoothy Chelsea accent with some oil community cash support on graduation day or is Anglo some dna? If it is dna, then the basic income will be a good idea and if not, then how long does it take any refugee to pick up the Anglo accent when he arrives at 5 years old and is educated in your public schools for free and who becomes an Anglo EU passport holder in 8 months? He looks Anglo and sounds 10th generation Anglo to me; innit? If it is just about the economy and it has to be that basic income is for the benefit of the economy , then it is a good idea to put in the basic income since how many Asian or European basic income migrants do you need to stimulate the economy while the refugee children from Eastern Europe, Turkey or North Africa are learning to say 'innit' and how many basic income migrants do you bring after the refugee kids from Ethiopia finish school; school as paid for by the government and who start saying 'innit' or 'what are you like' long before graduation day; innit? If it is for the hatred of an educated Anglo school graduate, then the absence of basic income satisfies the logic of its absence. His life prospects are not dependent on work but they are certainly dependent on money and the economy is dependent on his consumption. Work is not like it was before as much of technology has left many in the gap of the economics of desperation regardless of their educational facility. The happy people you see supporting Lazio, PSV or PSG or Glasgow Rangers in their home stadiums all have basic income. The average UK Club supporter does not have basic income. We should enjoy the immigrants and their culture along with any basic income they may wish to spend in feeding us and running intelligent businesses in our Anglo economies, but we should not need them as we do presently when the average consumer buying power in the Anglo economies has dropped to dangerously low levels and then an American wants to use the excuse of a war to kill as many men of valor( men of facts...men of education) as he can to stimulate the economy without thinking about the cost vs. the absence of any real domestic economic benefit since a soldier's buying power and a few more orders for uniforms, boots and water bottles gets the machine named Rosie excited but she is just a machine. The Human Rosie is not getting a job from the orders of gear paid for by the government with money put into the economy by the government. Ireland and Scotland are exceptions as to genuine Anglo belief.

Early life and education[edit]

Alexander was born in a row house on Draper Street^[2] near Front Street and Spadina Avenue in Toronto, Ontario.^[3] He was the eldest son of Mae Rose (née Royale), who emigrated from Jamaica, and Lincoln MacCauley Alexander, Sr., a carpenter by trade^[4] who worked as a porter on the Canadian Pacific Railway, who had come to Canada from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.^[5] Lincoln had a younger brother Hughie, born in 1924, and an older half-brother Ridley "Bunny" Wright, born to his mother in 1920 prior to her marriage to his father. Bunny was never accepted by Lincoln Sr. and was not allowed in the family's house.^[3]

Alexander went to Earl Grey Public School where he was the only Black in his kindergarten class. He noted in his memoir that he "never raced home from school and cried" but earned the respect of his classmates, sometimes by fighting. This taught him "to always walk tall, and with a certain bearing, so people knew I meant business".^[3] In his 2006 memoir, Go to School, You're a Little Black Boy, Alexander recalled: "Blacks at that time made up a sliver-thin portion of the city's population, and racial prejudice abounded." When the family moved to the east end of Toronto, and he attended Riverdale Collegiate, Alexander knew only three Black families. "The scene in Toronto at that time wasn't violent, though you had to know your place and govern yourself accordingly."^[3]

His family was religious and enjoyed a social life centred on regularly attending a Baptist church in downtown Toronto. His father was a stern disciplinarian who wanted his son to play the piano. Alexander preferred various sports, including track, soccer, hockey, softball and boxing; he never learned to swim. His size made him uncoordinated so he was not a natural athlete.^[3]

As a teen Alexander's mother moved to Harlem with his half-brother Ridley after his father beat her violently. Lincoln and his brother Hughie were cared for by Sadie and Rupert Downs until his mother could send for one of them. She chose Lincoln; Hughie remained with the Downs family and the brothers grew apart.^{[citation needed]}

In New York he attended DeWitt Clinton High School, the only member of his family to do so. He recalled in his memoir, "[G]iven the message about education that had been pounded into my head since I was a young child, the fact those kids didn’t go to school was an eye-opener for me." As a black community, Harlem allowed him to find role models who worked at jobs that did not involve manual labour.^[3]

War record[edit]

In 1939, after Canada declared war on Germany, his mother sent him back to Toronto to live with his father. Lincoln met Yvonne (Tody) Harrison at a dance in Toronto. The youngest of four daughters of Robert, a railway porter, and his wife Edythe (née Lewis), Harrison she lived in Hamilton, Ontario. Alexander was smitten by her and resolved to marry her. Because he was too young to enlist in the armed forces, he took a job as a machinist making anti-aircraft guns at a factory in Hamilton to be close to her.^[3]

He first distinguished himself in service to Canada in 1942 as a corporal and wireless operator in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. He served in many parts of the country including Portage La Prairie. He was ineligible for combat duty because of poor eyesight.^[3][6][7]

While stationed in Vancouver, he was refused service at a bar because of his race. He reported the incident to a superior officer who refused to take action. Alexander quit the Air Force in 1945 and was granted an honourable discharge. Of that incident, he said: "[A]t that time they didn't know how to deal with race relations of this sort of thing; they just turned a blind eye to it."^[7]

Early life and education[edit]

After the war Alexander completed his studies at Hamilton's Central Collegiate and then entered McMaster University in 1946 to study economics and history, receiving a BA in 1949.^[3][6]

At age 25, on September 10, 1948, he married Yvonne "Tody" Harrison, five years his senior. Upon graduating in 1949, he applied for a sales job at Stelco, a steel plant in Hamilton, Ontario. Although he had references, the support of McMaster and the mayor of Hamilton, Stelco was unwilling to have a black man on its sales force. He declined their offer of his old summer job working in the plant.^[3]

In 1948, Alexander's mother died at age 49, suffering from dementia; his father committed suicide four years later.^[4] He married his first wife, Yvonne Harrison, in 1948;^[4] their only child, a son Keith, was born in 1949.^[3] In 1986, Alexander said in a Chatelaine magazine interview: "My mother was the single biggest influence on me–before my wife, I’ve always regretted that she didn’t live to see me graduate from university."^[3]

Alexander then attended Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. While there, he suggested to the Dean during a lecture that he was using inappropriate language: "nigger".^[4]Challenging the Dean he said: "But you can't say that because you have to show leadership. You're in a position of authority, a leader in the community. A leader has to lead and not be using such disrespectful comments without even thinking about them."^[3] Of the incident he recalled: "I don't know what ever made me stand up and ask him that in a class of 200 people. ... But I will tell you one thing, that day made me a man."^[7] His actions did not end his career as he feared and Alexander graduated from Osgoode Hall in 1953.^[4]

In 1960, he and his wife visited twenty-three countries in Africa as volunteers with Operation Crossroads Africa, a trip he said that made him realize: "In Africa I was a black man and I was somebody."^[4] Alexander wrote in his memoir:

"The experience was an eye-opener for me not only as a lawyer, but also as a human being, because I began to realize what black people could do. I saw that, unlike the Hollywood version, these Africans were men and women of significant talents. I became conscious of my blackness. I had come from a white world. New we were in Africa, and I realized we are people of skill and creativity. I was a black man and I was a somebody. I started standing tall."^[3]

In 1962, Alexander's partnership with Duncan was dissolved. He joined former McMaster classmate Jack Millar in the firm Millar, Alexander, Tokiwa and Isaacs, which eventually became known as "the United Nations law firm". In his memoir, Alexander recalls: "A Caucasian, a black, Japanese and a Native Canadian. We were white, black, yellow and red, we used to laugh." He was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1965.^[6]

Politics[edit]

In 1965, Alexander ran in the Canadian federal election as the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada candidate in the Hamilton West electoral district but was defeated.^[6] He ran again in the 1968 federal election and on June 25, 1968, he won the seat, becoming Canada's first black Member of Parliament.^[6]

On September 20, 1968 he made his maiden speech in the House of Commons saying:

I am not the spokesman for the Negro; that honour has not been given to me. Do not let me ever give anyone that impression. However, I want the record to show that I accept the responsibility of speaking for him and all others in this great nation who feel that they are the subjects of discrimination because of race, creed or colour.^[3]

In 1970, Alexander voted in favour of the War Measures Act invoked by then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau but later felt he had erred in this decision, saying: "[T]he issue of limiting rights has far more serious implications than I thought at the time. You become vulnerable, grasped by the tentacles of Government power."^[8] In 1976, he voted to abolish capital punishment in a free vote introduced by the governing Liberal party.^[3]

Alexander wrote in his memoir that he did not shy away from voting with the Liberal government if an issue warranted his support. As an example, he threatened to break ranks with his own party to vote in favour of anti-hate legislation, saying "screw you" to his party's argument that it would curtail freedom of speech. "Are you saying that you can call my son or daughter a nigger and that is free speech?" he asked during debate on the bill. Heath MacQuarrie, then a Tory MP from Prince Edward Island, stood up and said, "I'm not going to let Linc stand alone on this." Together they led 17 members of their caucus in support of the government's legislation.^[8]

It was Alexander and Newfoundland MP John Lundrigan who provoked Trudeau into mouthing an obscenity in the House of Commons during a discussion of training programs for the unemployed in February 1971. This quickly became known as the "fuddle duddle" incident.^[8]

Alexander was an observer to the United Nations in 1976 and 1978 and served briefly as Minister of Labour in the Progressive Conservative Party's minority government headed by Joe Clark from 1979 to 1980.^{[citation needed]}

He held the seat through four successive elections until resigning his seat on May 27, 1980, when he was asked by then Premier of Ontario Bill Davis to serve as chairman of the Ontario Worker's Compensation Board.^[4][6] He misunderstood Davis's request and recalled: "I said [to the Premier], 'do you think this is going to give you the black vote around here, the vote of the visible minority ...?' I will never forget his look; he was extremely angry. I shouldn't have said that."^[7]

Viceregal service[edit]

In 1985, on the advice of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Governor General Jeanne Sauvé appointed Alexander Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. He became the first black person to serve in a viceregal position in Canada. (James Douglas, who was of mixed descent, was Governor of Vancouver Island and of British Columbia prior to Canadian Confederationwhen these were British colonies with no connection to the Canadas.)  

During his appointment, Ontario basic income ended after being initiated in 1968 at the  personal order of the Premier of Ontario at that time and his Finance Minister.     He focused attention on multicultural issues, education, racism and youth issues.^[3][6] As vice-regal he visited 672 communities, held 675 receptions, received roughly 75,000 guests, attended 4,000 engagements, and visited 230 schools.^[4] 

Later life[edit]

After articling for Sam Gotfrid, Q.C., the only job offer he received was from Helen and Edward Okuloski, a brother and sister who had started their own practice in Hamilton when they were unable to find jobs with existing firms. Here he practiced real estate and commercial law and established a political base in the German and Polish communities in Hamilton. Two years later Alexander partnered with Dave Duncan, forming the firm Duncan & Alexander, which he claimed was the first inter-racial law partnership in Canada.^[3][4] Alexander bought his own home on Proctor Blvd in the east end of Hamilton in 1958 and was able to move his family out of his in-laws' house. He lived there for nearly four decades.^[3]

From 1980 to 1985 at Workers Compensation Board of Ontario, the organization underwent its most extensive legislative overhaul since 1915. Also during his tenure, the WCBO sanctioned the use of chiropractors, over the objections of doctors, and created an independent appeals tribunal.^[3]

In 1992, Alexander was appointed to the Order of Ontario and became a Companion of the Order of Canada. From 1991 to 2007, he served as Chancellor of the University of Guelph. His fifteen-year term as Chancellor exceeded that of any of his predecessors, and he assumed the office of Chancellor Emeritus in June 2007. He was succeeded as Chancellor by then broadcaster Pamela Wallin.^[3][4]

In 2000, Alexander was named Chair of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, where he remained an active spokesman on race relations and veterans' issues.^[7] Until the time of his death, he was the Honorary Patron of the Hamilton, Ontario, branch of St. John Ambulance,^[9] as well as Honorary Chief of the Hamilton Police Service.^[4]

In November 2006, his autobiography Go to School, You're a Little Black Boy: The Honourable Lincoln M. Alexander: A Memoir was published.^[8][10] The title reflects advice his mother had given him as a boy.

Death[edit]

Alexander died in his sleep on the morning of October 19, 2012, aged 90.^[11] The national and provincial flags outside the Ontario Legislative Building were flown at half-mast and tributes were given by various viceroys and politicians.^[11][12][13]

His body lay in state, first inside the Ontario Legislative Building at Queen's Park, then at Hamilton City Hall.^[11][14]

He was survived by his son Keith Lincoln Alexander from his marriage to his first wife Yvonne Harrison (died 1999). He was also survived by daughter-in-law Joyce Alexander and grandchildren Erika and Marissa Alexander, and second-wife Marni Beal.^[15]

Alexander was accorded a state funeral conducted by the Reverend Allison Barrett. With the co-operation of thousands of officials, both Provincial and Federal, and Police Services across Canada, and featuring the Burlington Teen Tour Band and, Police Pipe and Drum band, it was conducted at Hamilton Place and attended by 1,500 people. Those in attendance included then-Prime Minister Stephen Harper, former Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, then-Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Governor General David Johnston, former Governor General Michaëlle Jean, former Prime Minister Joe Clark, federal cabinet minister Julian Fantino, Dr. Alastair Summerlee, President of the University of Guelph, and Dr. Peter George, former President of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Also in attendance were the chairman of the Raptors Foundation and the publisher of the Hamilton newspaper, The Spectator.^[16][17]

The Province of Ontario proclaimed January 21 "Lincoln Alexander Day" in Ontario. It became law in December 2013. As of December 3, 2014, with Royal Assent by the Governor General on December 9, 2014, January 21 is now recognized officially as "Lincoln Alexander Day"^[18] and was celebrated across Canada for the first time in 2015.^[6]

In 2018, Canada Post marked Black History Month with stamps featuring Alexander and Kay Livingstone.^[19]
