Yeah, they shut down McMaster's bar not long ago. That bar was quite... liberal about its rules.

Assessment edit

I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains a fair amount of detail and organization, but is completely unreferenced. I have assessed this as low importance, as it is a highly specific topic within Canada. Cheers, CP 05:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Would be interesting to include some discussion of the fact that the original deeds for Westdale forbade property ownership by Blacks, Jews, Italians, Austro-Hungarians etc... This detail captures a unique period of Canada's inter-war history, and provides a contrast to today's broadly multicultural population.

There was also a research paper from the 80s? that reviewed census data in Westdale from the 40s to draw conclusions on what the neighbourhood was like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.28.80.14 (talk) 18:44, 26 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
