Joseph Schubert (1889 - 7 March 1952)〔 〕 was a Canadian politician, who served on Montreal City Council from 1924 to 1939.〔("Joseph Schubert - Residence" ). ''Musée interactif du Montréal juif''.〕 Originally from Romania, Schubert was a prominent labour unionist in the city,〔Gerald J. J. Tulchinsky, ''Canada's Jews: A People's Journey''. p. 247. ISBN 978-0-8020-9062-1.〕 and was the only Labour Party representative on Montreal's city council.〔 One of his first prominent actions as a city councillor was a speech protesting police harassment of participants in the city's 1924 May Day parade.〔"Reds Are Harried by Montreal Police". ''The Globe and Mail'', May 2, 1924.〕 In 1931, he built a public bathhouse at the corner of Bagg and St. Lawrence, which still stands today as the Schubert Bath (official French name: ''Bain Schubert''). He served for three months as the city's acting mayor, commencing August 29, 1927, under mayor Médéric Martin.〔 〕 (Despite the title "acting mayor", however, he was never the city's official leader; in modern terms, his role would be more accurately understood as that of a deputy mayor or a ''mayor pro tem''.) Until the appointment of Michael Applebaum as interim mayor in 2012, he was the highest ranking Jewish official in the history of Montreal's municipal government. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joseph Schubert (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
