Viola's Family

Viola Davis still has family members today keeping her legacy alive. Robert Davis of Ile Bizard Quebec, Kim Davis of St.Lazare, Quebec and Craig Davis of Pointe-Claire, Quebec — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.68.160.38 (talk) 17:15, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Complete the record

Does anyone know the names of the crown attorneys and government officials involved in the disgraceful abuse of the tax evasions laws in this case? I think it would be apropos to name them if possible.69.157.3.80 (talk) 01:21, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

The judge and Desmond's lawyer were both clear that the problem was how Desmond's lawyer decided to argue the legal case. That is why Desmond's lawyer gave back the money to his client. As well, there were no laws or case law for discrimination at the time. --Hantsheroes (talk) 23:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Importance rating for WPCanada

I raised the importance rating for Viola Desmond to 'mid' today following the announcement that her image will be used on the $10 bill. PKT(alk) 23:25, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Didn't Viola decide to press charges

But I thought that Viola Desmond herself decided to fight the charges. Broham895 (talk) 12:58, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I think it would be appropriate to add the entry for Charles Daniels in the “see also” section.

Mr Daniels, a black man from Calgary, started legal action in 1914 when he was denied access to his seat in a theatre venue.

McPhail not 1st Canadian woman

The 2 Queens should be described as Canadians. The monarch is our head of state. 2605:B100:119:B943:1914:734B:62C6:DAF7 (talk) 16:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
