T - Toronto's Ill-Fated First Hanging

After the bleak and controversial topics of last week (treasonous nationalism, indigenous rights, and TWO separate cases of genocide), let's keep this week lighter. Monday's topic is... public execution. Actually, it's still not as bad as last week's posts. Back in 1798 Toronto was a small frontier town only five years old. It wasn't even called Toronto yet, it was still called York back then.
