Alice Munro (b. 10 July 1931 – d. 13 May 2024)
Just as we were coming to terms with Rex Murphy’s passing,
another great Canadian has departed.
Rest in peace, Alice Munro.

Rex Murphy
A Canadian treasure! He was one of the greats and he will be missed.
I didn’t always agree with him, but I always looked forward to his columns.
Rest in peace.
Rex Murphy (b. March 1947 – d. May 9, 2024)

“The complexity of things—the things within things—just seems to be endless.
I mean nothing is easy, nothing is simple.”
~ Alice Munro (b. July 10th 1931)
November
“It was November—the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.”
~ L.M. Montgomery (b. November 30, 1874 – d. April 24, 1942)
Remembrance Day
“I made up my mind that where our men went under so much more dreadful conditions I could go, and I am very proud to have been able even in a small way to commemorate the deeds of my countrymen.”
Mary Riter Hamilton (b. 1873 – d. 1954)
Canada’s 1st Female Battlefield Artist
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Rest in peace.
Happy Canada Day!
The True North strong and free!
