Who would have thought that one day the unclaimed
dead buried for a century in Mount Hope Cemetery in Brantford, Ontario
would capture Turkey’s attention. Everything started with the research

Plans for "Turkish Plot" Put on Hold
Heather Ibbotson
A proposal to erect a plaque at Mount Hope cemetery is in limbo after it unleashed a storm of unexpected international controversy, says Mayor Chris Friel.
"There are so many aggressive and very angry
groups, and accusations and absolute misunderstandings of the
situation," that the plan is now "officially on hold," Friel said
Thursday.
"We're backing away" until a response is received
from the federal government and city council has an opportunity to
review and discuss it, he said.
Friel said the plan had stirred up negative commentary "on an international level, far beyond what a municipality can handle."
