All the world is his stage. Our two families met during an elementary school production of Oliver! I played my first role in Grade 1, he wrote, a Canadian history pageant (in which I was) Maisonneuve, the founder of Montreal. In 1998, the biggest problem the Boyces faced wasn’t putting productions on the Academy stage, but getting bums in seats. Conrad and Lisa put the township of Uxbridge centre stage in quite another way in the fall of 2005, when they launched the weekly. S first eight years as I submi...

Abraham Rosenbach got the bug to collect rare books from his uncle Moses Polock. Did you know that the original manuscript for James Joyce’s book. That’s because a Philadelphian named Abraham Rosenbach felt he needed to acquire it. In 1924, when he saw the first version of the book, Joyce’s actual pencilled words on paper, Rosenbach bought it. Joyce was incensed, saying when [Rosenbach] receives a reply from me, all the rosy brooks [a play on Rosenbach’s name] will have run dry. While Joyce might not agr...

A meeting here tonight. Panel discussion regarding the Stratford school board decision not to allow the son of Art Boon (foreground) join him in Holland. O God, eternal and almighty, from Whom all power and wisdom flow, we are assembled here in Your presence to ensure the good of our city and its prosperity. In other words, by reciting a Christian prayer, Saguenay Council was excluding citizens from other religions, or in fact had turned the meetings into a preferential space for people with theistic bel...

Vimy 100th Anniversary Tour – April 6-16, 2017. The Americans called them an inspiration for a generation. The British described what they did as the greatest victory of the war. The French declared their achievement an Easter gift. What the world witnessed that Easter Monday morning April 9, 1917 was a near miracle of ingenuity, co-operation and courage among volunteers of the Canadian Corps. The year 2017 marks the 100. Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Or call Georgia Kourakos. She strode towar...

Ticket to freedom | Ted Barris
http://tedbarris.com/2015/07/30/ticket-to-freedom
A tow truck that’s could probably use one. On the weekend, my wife and I motored north into what city people euphemistically call cottage country. We ended up at a friend’s cottage south of Sudbury. He’d invited us there to put our feet up at the lake and chill for a couple of days. Suddenly, however, in the middle of the weekend escape, our host faced a problem, an automotive problem, and he immediately got on the phone. Vintage gas station where pumping the stuff really did generate income. You haven’t...

A blog about Journalism, television, news, teaching, Canadian Jews in the armed forces. Wednesday, May 28, 2014.

We should do this, too. I'm calling it #KaddishforDDay. France is honouring these me...

SarahNoelleMoore: World Cup action
http://sarahnoellemoore.blogspot.com/2010/07/world-cup-action.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. As a former soccer player I will be the first to say that I love the sport. I will also honestly say that I only followed World Cup action because I was required to do so this year for the newspaper that I work for. I was always more into playing the sport than watching it. Being immersed in the ruckus and partying that ensued when fans took to the streets after Spain's win on Sunday made me appreciate the love that accompanies the sport. There was enough people in attendance to pr...
