The Bishop of Toronto and the King’s College Money Transaction
A Canadian House of Commons debate exposes a costly mismanagement at King's College Upper Canada. It centers on the Bishop of Toronto using college funds as security for notes and a £5,250 loan to himself, with delayed repayments and questions over authority. The affair prompts criticism of colonial governance, university trustees, and late reforms.
