"The salvation of Europe is not a matter of revolution in methods. It is a matter of the Revolution-the one which, until such time as there is a classless society, will substitute for the narrow tyranny of a dehumanized bourgeoisie the preponderance of the only class that still has a universal mission, because it suffers in its flesh from all the wrongs of history, from all the universal wrongs: the proletariat." The above scathing quotation is from Aime Césaire’s Discourses on Colonialism. Throughout this text, Cesaire remarks about how European colonial powers are degenerative because they practice colonialism. The above quotation ends Césaire’s text. A reader may interpret this section as Césaire’s utopian vision for the future in which three atrocities of colonialism will end. They are tyranny, dehumanization, and the bourgeois lifestyle. A reader of Césaire’s text can apply this critique of colonialization to Toronto because some of Toronto’s monuments indirectly represent colonial atrocities. An example is “Otter Crescent." This street name memorializes the life and deeds of William Dillon Otter. He (Otter) was “a [Canadian] soldier for over 60 years [i]n 1908 he was made the Chief of General Staff, the first Canadian to fill that position, [h]e was knighted in 1913 and made a general in 1922.” But these commemorating qualifications are only partial truths. There is a dark side to Otter and the acts he is remembered for. The following paper will examine Otter Crescent to illuminate the full history. The way this task will be accomplished is to first give a geographical description of Otter Crescent. Then the paper will express how the street name commemorates the building of nationhood during the Fenian Raids. Lastly, this paper will apply Cesaire’s criticism to Otter Crescent. This survey also inadvertently indicates that the Canadian proletariat still needs to become conscious and revolt against colonialism enshrined in such a monument. Otter Crescent connects Avenue Road to Lawrence Avenue West. At the point where Otter connects with Lawrence, there is another street sign that prevents traffic from turning on Otter between the hours of seven in the morning to nine in the morning, Monday to Friday. This city ordinance causes Otter Crescent to remain a quiet and secluded street in the northern suburbs of Toronto. At the south-end of the street, which joins with Avenue Road, there is a yellow sign cautioning southbound cars (on Avenue road) that cars on Otter Crescent may attempt to merge or make a left turn. Also, Otter is just about 2 Km from highway 401, 8.2 Km from York University, and 9.6 Km from Toronto’s downtown Lakeshore district. This proximity to all these places makes Otter secluded enough, but still a part of the city of Toronto. In 1924 the street was planned as a new addition to the city, just south of Lawrence Avenue West, and east of Saguenay Avenue and north of Coldstream Avenue, The Sterling Trust Co-operation that was in charge of the development from 1924 sold the newly built homes on Otter Crescent in 1936. Currently, the aged trees tower over the homes and this characteristic gives the neighborhood an old rustic quality. Each home has a red brick chimney identifying the homes as constructed from an earlier era. The current size of the buildings testifies that they were originally built for wealthy buyers. This impression is confirmed with the record that Sterling Trust Co-operation sold plots for $107-$4000 dollars in 1936. The name of the street possibly acted as an attractive incentive to these buyers because at the time William Dillon Otter
