Whitton was mayor of Ottawa from 1951 to 1955 and was an unsuccessful federal Progressive Conservative candidate in 1958, this despite that party's historic landslide victory that year. The fact that no civic building bears her name is likely not because she may (or may not) have been a lesbian, but because of the racist views she held against Jews, Armenians, Ukranians, or any "non-British." |
