Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko Franklin Jackes he Kaiwhakatikatika i mua, i te wā hoki o te
Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, a he kaitautoko me te hoa whaiaro o William Lyon Mackenzie. He mema ia o te Komiti o te 1 000 i tono ki a Sir John Colborne kia whakakorehia te whare paremata i te tau 1831, a ka pootihia ia ki te kaunihera taone tuatahi o Toronto hei tohu mo te Ward o St. David i te tau 1834. I taua tau i neke ia kia pootihia a Mackenzie hei koromatua tuatahi o Toronto e te kaunihera.
