“Toronto The Good” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍁🇬🇧

A clip from an interview with Leslie Saunders, Toronto’s 51st Mayor, in which he describes the “Old Toronto” he knew. He was defeated in 1955 by Nathan Phillips, Toronto’s first Jewish Mayor.

@MeshIgor I know… We’ve had three in total, the Warrior (for a couple of years), then the Magnificent and the Bonaventure until 1970.

HMCS Warrior, Canada’s First Aircraft Carrier, 1946

@yzfraven It’s the Warrior. Transferred to Canada from Britain in 1946, but was transferred back in 1948. The Bonaventure was first called HMS Powerful in 1945, but was laid up. Canada bought her in 1952 and renamed her, but wasn’t ready until 1957. I made a video for the “Bonnie” too.
