Municipal Elections Act (Re)
                           Re Municipal Elections Act, [1912] 2 DLR 349
                           
                           
                              
                              
                                 
                                    
                                       
                              
                              
                           
                        
                        Several unnamed voters were struck from the list of voters by a court of revision,
                              on the basis that they had made an affadvait before the wrong type of commissioner.
                              The voters complained that the court lacked the authority to strike voters, or alternatively
                              that the commissioner they were in front of was sufficient. Justice Gregory rejected
                              the first argument on the basis that it undermined the purpose of the statute, and
                              the second argument on the basis that the connection between the commissioners was
                              too tenuous to regard them as being equivalent.

                        Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
                           Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
                           and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
                           of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
                           choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
