Toomas Karmo: Open Letter, on DDO&P and the New $15m De Gasperis-Muzzo Hospital Donation

Quality assessment:
On the 5-point scale current in Estonia, and surely in nearby nations, and familiar to observers of the academic arrangements of the late, unlamented, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (applying the easy and lax standards Kmo deploys in his grubby imaginary "Aleksandr Stepanovitsh Popovi nimeline sangarliku raadio instituut" (the "Alexandr Stepanovitch Popov Institute of Heroic Radio") and his  grubby imaginary "Nikolai Ivanovitsh Lobatshevski nimeline sotsalitsliku matemaatika instituut" (the "Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky Institute of Socialist Mathematics") - where, on the lax and easy grading philosophy of the twin Institutes, 1/5 is "epic fail", 2/5 is "failure not so disastrous as to be epic", 3/5 is "mediocre pass", 4/5 is "good", and 5/5 is "excellent"): 4/5. Justification: There was enough time to write out the  necessary points to reasonable length.

1. Thursday's Problematic News


A problematic story, pertinent to the David Dunlap Observatory and Park (DDO&P) heritage-conservation case, hit the Ontario newsdesks on 2017-08-17. Here is some of the coverage, from  http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/family-of-marco-muzzo-donates-millions-to-new-ontario-hospital-1.3551420:

/.../
 
On Thursday, it was revealed that the Muzzo family, along with the De Gasperis family have made a joint donation of $15 million to help build the Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital, which is slated to open in 2020. It is the largest single donation in the hospital's history. In an interview with CTV Toronto, Mackenzie Health Foundation CEO and president Ingrid Perry said that the hospital is "absolutely delighted with the generosity of the De Gasperis and Muzzo families." 

The Muzzo and De Gasperis families have a long and honourable record of philanthropy in the York Region upper-tier municipality that encompasses the lower-tier municipalities of Vaughan, Richmond Hill (including DDO&P), and such neighbouring lower-tier municipalities as Aurora, Newmarket, and Markham: 

  • The De Gasperis family, along with other property developers not known to me, supported the construction of the St Clare of Assisi church in Vaughan. Three bells, in particular, are named for the three brothers who came to the Greater Toronto Area from 1950s Italy, to found in due course the Canadian De Gasperis billionaire property-developer fortune - named whimsically, as "Saint Alfredo", "Saint Anthony", and "Saint Angelo". 
  • At the Villa Colombo Senior Centre in Vaughan is a "Piazza De Gasperis", as one tangible testimonial to the De Gasperis support for Villa Charities (http://www.villacharities.com/). 
  • Construction of the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Hill_Centre_for_the_Performing_Arts) was facilitated by a 1,000,000 CAD donation from the late Alfredo De Gasperis. 
  • De Gasperis philanthropy has created, under the aegis of the Toronto General Hospital, the "Alfredo and Theresa De Gasperis Chair in Heart Failure Surgery". 
  • According to https://chimp.net/charities/the-muzzo-family-charitable-foundation, the Muzzo Family Charitable Foundation expended 385,992 CAD in 2015 - almost all of it for its charitable objectives in medicine, rather than for mere overheads. 
  • Thanks to the combined generosity of the two families, as directed  to the William Osler Health Centre Foundation, a three-storey feature within the Brampton Civic Hospital has been named the "De Gasperis and Muzzo Atrium". 
With this honourable record, what could be negative in Thursday's story? But a negative side is present, even to the point of public outrage. Unless special steps are now taken (and I am using tonight's blog to facilitate such steps), last week's philanthropy risks being perceived, in our outraged York Region, as an attempt to rehabilitate the Muzzo family name in the teeth of a criminal conviction. 

I did not quote the CTV coverage from the beginning. I left the first two sentences out. Here they are: 

Two prominent Ontario families, including the one of a man convicted in a horrific drunk driving crash that killed three children and their grandfather, have donated millions of dollars to a new hospital in Vaughan, Ont.

In March 2016, 30-year-old Marco Muzzo was sentenced to 10 years in prison for impaired driving causing death and bodily harm over the 2015 crash.


Many readers or viewers of CTV will remember that young Marco Muzzo had a previous history of dealings with the traffic police, falling short of a criminal trial; that on the day of his 2015 offence, he had by media reports returned on a private corporate jet from a stag party in Florida; and that he had climbed into his Jeep Cherokee at Pearson International Airport in a state of intoxication so severe that he had been said in the media to have urinated on himself at the accident scene, and to have had difficulty in standing upright at the accident scene. 

Many CTV readers or viewers will also remember that his Jeep Cherokee, seized as evidence and therefore supposedly safe in police custody, burst into flame some hours or days after his crash. The combustion-within-cop-shop is duly reported at  http://globalnews.ca/news/2251015/jeep-driven-by-marco-muzzo-in-fatal-vaughan-crash-caught-fire-in-police-custody/. I, for one, listened carefully to the professional crime reporters analyzing that development, as one person among the many persons queuing outside a Newmarket courtroom on the morning of the sentencing day that was 2016-03-29.

Further, many CTV readers or viewers will have noted, for instance from https://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2017/01/08/marco-muzzo-wants-damages-reduced-in-lawsuit-over-drunk-driving-deaths.html, not only that Marco Muzzo's victims have brought a 25,000,000 CAD civil suit, but that lawyers on the Muzzo side of the ongoing civil case are arguing for a reduction in damages, to at most one-third of the sum which the plaintiff seeks.

The public outrage can be seen in a couple of places, notably in the comments section of https://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/7507378-mackenzie-vaughan-hospital-wing-will-bear-de-gasperis-muzzo-family-names/. Admittedly, the language of the public in its many comments is inappropriately insensitive to the (perfectly real) suffering of the convict and the convict's own family, however fervent such language becomes in addressing the (still intense) suffering of the victims. And to write, as "Jill" did under the timestamp "Aug 18 2017 6:30PM", Vaughan Hospital Tower to be armed [she surely means 'named'] after a murderer. Nice. is to overlook the legal and ethical distinction between murder and manslaughter.

In all this torrent of abuse directed at the Muzzo clan, I found just one kindly voice when I scrolled downward. Under timestamp "Aug 17 2017 9:53PM", someone styled "Bal" had written, reasonably enough, We cannot be mad at the whole family for one person''s mistake. The rest of them don't deserve to sufree [the meaning is surely 'suffer] because one was crazy.

We cannot condone lynch-mob rhetoric, whether directed at the Muzzo clan or at any other. And yet it is clear that the De Gasperis-Muzzo philanthropy generates a public problem, which last week's torrent of comments, however inappropriately abusive, was correct in highlighting.

****

Before leaving the media coverage, I would like to draw attention also to sane commentary by radio host Scott Thompson of "900 CHML", headed "Why not name Vaughan hospital after Neville-Lake family?" Mr Thompson writes in part as follows, at http://globalnews.ca/news/3678898/commentary-why-not-name-vaughan-hospital-after-neville-lake-family/:


/.../

The donation - from a family that is known for their philanthropy - is very generous, and I'm sure locals are more than happy for it.

 But why not just cut the cheque and enjoy the gala? People will know where the money came from.

 Again, the funds are surely welcome, but there are many who give anonymously, or without seeking credit for their contributions.

 It's almost as if this donation is a distraction from the reality of what happened, as much as it is in a way making good for it.

 As a statement against impaired driving and a tribute to the late Daniel, Harrison, Milly and their granddad Gary, why not name the hospital wing after the Neville-Lake family instead?

A Ms Reesha Grewal and I both replied to this (sane) opinion piece, via Facebook, both of us in positive terms. I would urge my readers to inspect Ms Grewal's comment. For fear of possible copyright infringement, I cannot reproduce it here. I am surely legally able to reproduce my own comment, on the other hand, in full or in part, as I may choose. Here I choose to reproduce just the core part: 

Exactly, Ms Reesha Grewal /.../. You've nailed it. The right time to reach out to the community was a year ago /.../ [At this point in my Facebook comment, I discuss the 2016-08-14 public memorial event, to whose speakers I had listened attentively - to my disappointment finding no Muzzo-family representatives present.] /.../  The Muzzo family did not take this opportunity /.../.  It is particularly distressing that the names of BOTH families (the Muzzos AND the DeGasperises) should be coupled to the hospital, since the two families have combined forces, under the corporate banner "DG Group [former 'Metrus']/Corsica", to destroy 32 hectares of greenspace, and thereby undercut a conceivable UNESCO World Heritage List application, at the David Dunlap Observatory.  /.../
 
It is appropriate tonight to amplify and expand that just-cited online comment




2. Background to Thursday's Problem



(A) Here is essential background regarding the David Dunlap Observatory and Park (DDO&P): 

  • DDO&P harbours three telescopes, one of them still the largest on Canadian soil (and the world's second-largest when it was brought into service in 1935). With this instrument, in the 1970s, was made one of the half-dozen key discoveries in all of 20th-century observational astrophysics - the discovery, namely, of a plausible candidate stellar-mass black hole. Subsequent work around the world has led to a general acceptance of DDO's 1970s black-hole interpretation of the pertinent data.
  • DDO&P comprised 72 hectares of greenspace from its 1935 inception until the 1950s. At that point the terrain was enlarged through a supplementary donation, to its final 77-hectare  extent.
  • All 77 hectares were sold in 2008 on the commercial market for about 70,000,000 CAD by the University of Toronto, on the theory (never tested in court) that a 1930s original-donor Deed of Indenture proviso, blocking such a sale, was legally void. The purchaser was a subsidiary, Corsica, of a De Gasperis so-to-speak-flagship firm, Metrus (a flagship more recently, however, operating as "DG Group"). 
  • Corsica later sold 5 hectares to the Town of Richmond Hill for just under 20,000,000 CAD, leaving (77 minus 5 equals) 72 hectares.
  • Corsica eventually donated 40 of these 72 hectares to the Town of Richmond Hill, along with the key heritage buildings on the land. In this same transaction, Corsica undertook to assist financially with reforestation on some of the donated 40 hectares (including reforestation on a savanna which Corsica had taken down, triggering municipal-court proceedings in which Corsica had entered a guilty plea). 
  • The (72 minus 40 equals) 32 hectares remaining in the possession of Corsica were approved by the Town of Richmond Hill for development as a subdivision, to contain a lane, 14 streets, a stormwater sump (in planning language, euphemistically, a "stormwater management pond") and 520 or 530 units of housing - with, however, the possibility of some tens of additional units, as above-garage granny-flat add-ons, in a planning application submitted in 2017, and I think remaining under consideration as I write.
  • The young convict Mr Marco M. Muzzo is not a Corsica director, but the son of a brother of a Corsica director, Mr Marc A. Muzzo. The board, when I checked its composition a few years ago, was (if I recall accurately) drawn entirely from the De Gasperis and Muzzo families. 
In this mix of the positive and the negative, it is the negative that predominates. The central point is the loss of a 32-hectare urban greenspace (very roughly half of it, or perhaps a bit less than half of it, under field or meadow, and correspondingly very roughly half of it, or perhaps a bit more than half of it, under forest), in defiance of the very principles of conservation that DG Group showcases with a haunting wetland photo and the motto "Bringing Life to Land", at http://dggroup.ca/. (The wetland photo is something of an irony, given the ongoing battle over wetland conservation lately being waged by citizenry in the chambers of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority against DG Group: http://www.savengforest.org/.)

I have blogged on the entailed DDO&P conservationist casework here at http://toomaskarmo.blogspot.com every few weeks since 2016 April. I hope in due course to index my blogspot work, so that a single click in the browser right margin, on some such heading as DDO&P conservation, generates a browser display of all and only my DDO&P-pertinent postings. For the moment, however, people wanting to delve into my past blog postings will have to scroll patiently, inspecting my postings one by one, in what is unfortunately a most heterogeneous collection of essays.

Two of my various postings may as well be noted here, as being particularly DDO&P conservation-relevant:

Also relevant to conservation are two postings that touch on the Muzzo family involvement at DDO&P, in the context of Marco Muzzo's conviction:

****
(B) Here is the essential background regarding the Mackenzie Health Foundation:

  • Its mandate comprises two hospitals, in a pair of adjacent lower-tier municipalities in the Great Toronto Area's northern suburbs, within York Region - the long-operational Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital, and additionally the soon-to-be-opened Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital.  
  • According to https://www.charityintelligence.ca/charity-details/813-mackenzie-health-foundation, in the 2016 financial year 56 cents of every dollar donated to the Mackenzie Health Foundation went to its cause, with 32 cents out of the dollar instead covering fundraising overheads, and 12 cents out of the dollar instead covering administrative overheads. The same source indicates that of the full-time staff of 22, one received 350,000 CAD or more in compensation, one received compensation in the range 200,000 CAD - 250,000 CAD, one received compensation in the range 160,000 CAD - 200,000 CAD, and seven received compensation in the range 80,000 CAD - 200,000 CAD.

****

(C) Here is the essential background regarding my personal legal and financial role in DDO&P casework:

  • I was employed at DDO from 2006 mid-November until the end of 2008 June, on two concurrent part-time contracts (as a research assistant and as a telescope operator). 
  • I financed the unsuccessful 2012-through-2015 greenspace-conservation efforts of the Richmond Hill Naturalists (http://www.rhnaturalists.ca/) at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and Divisional Court. I expended on this aspect of the conservation case, and on smaller related points, and on the Karen Cilevitz lawsuit mentioned below, a total of some 500,000 CAD or 550,000 CAD. (Earlier tribunal work, namely the broadly conservation-successful 2009 Conservation Review Board hearing, had been mostly financed not by me but by a bequest to the Richmond Hill Naturalists, amounting to around 200,000 CAD.) I have left outstanding some Richmond Hill Naturalists legal bills, for which nobody has pressed me, totalling possibly 30,000 CAD. Of this, around 20,000 CAD is in ethical terms - so it has been argued to me, I think cogently - covered by an undertaking-to-raise-funds made to me by the RH Naturalists, signed and witnessed. Around 10,000 CAD, on the other hand, is owed by the Naturalists to lawyer Virginia MacLean (http://www.virginiamaclean.com/), and is not covered by this undertaking. Ms MacLean, although retained by the Naturalists, unexpectedly argued in support of a part of the Corsica case on the OMB Summation Day which was 2012-09-10. (I repeat tonight, as in essence both previously on this blog and in private e-mails to Ms MacLean, that I propose to settle with her when she explains to me and the public (including, notably, via me my readers here), and to the much-suffering Naturalists, what moved her to argue on 2012-09-10 for the erection of some Corsica units of housing at DDO&P. Was it blackmail? Was it some more subtle fear, of some origin untainted by blackmail? Was it illness? Was it some type of infirmity other than outright illness, such as fatigue at the 2012-09-10 podium, at the end of many gruelling days in our OMB hearing? Some details of the 2012-09-10 surprise Ms MacLean sprang for us, as subdivision opponents, are in my "Essay on Sorrow" blogspot posting, to which I refer again below.) The 500,000 CAD or 550,000 CAD was the bulk of my life savings. Once the dust had largely cleared, I found to my surprise that I had accidentally left myself a cushion sufficient to cover medical and similar contingencies, and additionally my anticipated 2018 move to Estonia. I considered myself at that point, however, no longer able to address large fresh legal contingencies, in other words no longer justified in embarking on fresh large law-firm retainers. If sued, I will have to self-represent, at any rate in any court work triggering a legal bill of over 1,000 CAD or so. 
  • In 2015, OMB awarded costs of 100,000 CAD to Corsica against the Richmond Hill Naturalists. I could, both then and now, safely afford to pay 1,000 CAD toward that bill. But I decline to do so on grounds of ethics. (And indeed I am in legal terms a mere donor to the Naturalists, and therefore am not in legal terms liable for their bill. They for their part, in their always-tolerant way, evidently choose not to press me on it. My last little chat with an executive from their ranks - at which the opportunity to press me was present without being mentioned, in a conversational context in which I mentioned the 100,000 CAD problem - occurred at a Richmond Hill Mill Pond Park public event this summer.)  
  • I settled a 2014 lawsuit brought by pro-development political candidate Ms Karen Cilevitz (after the 2014-10-27 Richmond Hill municipal election, Town Councillor Karen Cilevitz). Particulars on this particularly painful side of the DDO&P casework, central to which was a 2011 rupture between the pro-development Karen and the anti-development Naturalists (with their staunch allies in Ontario First Nations and Ontario heritage-conservation circles, including me; Karen's change in conservationist philosophy sowed communal division) may be inspected at http://www.karen-vs-toomas-blog.ca/ and http://www.karen-vs-toomas-legaldocs.ca/. Here I note only, without in any way commenting on the terms of my out-of-court settlement with Karen, that out of my own overall anti-development outlay of 500,000 CAD or 550,000 CAD, I spent about 50,000 CAD on Karen, almost all of it on fees to my then counsel - the duly efficient, duly clear-headed, and duly tenacious, and yet far from cheap, Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP (http://www.blakes.com/English/Locations/Toronto/Pages/default.aspx).
  • I am connected with the Mackenzie Health Foundation in no financial way, but only as a patient in the Mackenzie Richmond Hill hospital, having undergone a successful 2014 transurethral resection of prostate, under the usual publicly-funded Ontario Health Insurance Plan (and therefore at no directly billable expense to me, beyond a mere few tens of dollars at the pharmacy).

3. Working toward a Solution


Once money is allowed to develop a mind of its own, it destroys, like a parasite, even key institutions in the civilization that created it. I do not wish to belabour this point. But we may consider, momentarily, how much poorer in quality - thanks in part to predator capitalism, notably including overseas capitalism, where trade unions are weak or absent - are our Canadian consumer goods now than 50 years ago; and how much less secure (thanks in part to the ongoing concentration of wealth by the powerful) is our middle class now; and how much less stable is our climate now (under loading from greenhouse gases - themselves the product of inadequately regulated commerce, both in Canada and abroad). We may also consider, momentarily, how likely it is that if present trends continue for another 50 years, Ontario will divide, Detroit-like, into two mutually warring social extremes - on one side the fabulously wealthy (such as the De Gasperises and the Muzzos) in their gated and guarded communities, and on the other side the mortgaged, or rent-paying, insecure poor, accompanied on their flank by a growing army of homeless poor. 

Most people in Canada at some level know, and can agree on, the solution to these social ills. Most Canadians know the solution to lie not in Marxism, but in the revival of the small farm and the small business, in a Canada where everyone owns something (if only, in the most humble cases, some share in a neighbourhood self-help co-op), and where government subsidy and outside capital (even in the form of a bank loan, such as a mortgage) is socially frowned on. But how to get from Here to There? Money has made all Canadians its victims, exercising on everyone here - the small, like me and the majority of my Canadian readers; but also the great, like Ontario's billionaire developers - all the slowly enervating power of hookworm, leprosy, or HIV. 

Part of the mindset that is weakening Canadian communities is the idea that cash by itself, tossed out like largess by governments and their powerful commercial partners, solves community problems.

The De Gasperis-Muzzo hospital donation has been in the works for a long time. At http://globalnews.ca/news/3677574/marco-muzzo-family-hospital-donation/ Ms Perry writes or speaks, delicately, of a donation "long in development": 

"We are very grateful for this generosity, which will benefit the people of Vaughan and neighbouring communities for decades to come – providing exceptional health care for patients and families close to home,” Ingrid Perry, President and CEO of the Mackenzie Health Foundation, said in a statement.

 "This gift has been in development for more than three years, and we are extremely pleased to see it come to fruition."

We are unlikely to know the details unless the donor families at some point, possibly under friendly journalistic probing, choose to discuss them publicly. It might be, for all the public can now know, that the talks had reached the stage of an outright commitment months, or even a year or two or three, before young Marco Muzzo was offered liquor on that private jet. There is therefore no adequate ground for speculating that the Muzzos are now trying to buy a rehabilitated reputation. It is, on the other hand, a safe bet that their insensitivity to public opinion last week stemmed from some naive, untutored, belief that throwing money at the community automatically makes the community better - that this is somehow Just What the Small Folk Need.

Accompanying their insensitivity to their overall community is a special, localized insensitivity regarding the inevitable pain they rekindle in the Muzzo  victims, the Neville-Lakes (who spoke out, clearly, when interviewed last week at Global News, in language documented at http://globalnews.ca/news/3677574/marco-muzzo-family-hospital-donation/).

****

I would like to help in some small way, as one of the last public things I can undertake in my impoverished and Asperger-fumbling way before my envisaged 2018 departure from Canada for Estonia. As a first step in facilitating a remediation, I make the present blog posting an open letter to the Mackenzie Foundation CEO, Ms Ingrid Perry. Ms Perry could answer it directly here over the coming week, using the blogger, in other words blogspot.com or blogger.ca,  comment-writing interface. If she chooses that direct route, she can conform to my toomaskarmo.blogspot.com or toomaskarmo.blogspot.ca commenting rules, as promulgated on these servers at 2016-04-14 under the heading  "Background FAQ regarding purpose and conduct of this blog" (at http://toomaskarmo.blogspot.ca/2016/04/background-faq-regarding-purpose-and.html)  by putting into her body text three easy pieces of information: 

  • her true first name and true surname (consequently, "Ingrid", plus "Perry")
  • her municipality (it would suffice to specify "York Region, Ontario" as her upper-tier municipality of employment, without venturing into finer geographic details) 
  • a contact e-mail address, either known to be genuine or easily verified (her general team inbox identifier, foundation@mackenziehealth.ca - an address already known to be genuine - would suffice)

Alternatively, Ms Perry could answer over the coming week by sending private e-mail to me, over her signature, for reporting by me here in my envisaged upload  of 2017-08-28/2071-08-29, or again by phoning me on my private line (647-267-9566), likewise for reporting in my envisaged upload of 2017-08-28/2017-08-29.

Here is my question: 

Can Ms Perry confirm, for the public record 
as I shall put it onto my blogspot.com/blogspot.ca blog,
that it is in principle possible 
for York Region persons to make large donations,
on the order of 15,000,000 CAD, to her Foundation 
without thereby causing any family name 
(whether De Gasperis, or Muzzo, or other) 
to become affixed to any particular building?
