Remembering with gratitude my grandfather, Jack Benzie, called up at age 20 in 1939. He survived the war and returned home to Scotland in 1946 after a year with the British occupying forces in Germany.

Former Ontario premier ⁦‪@Dalton_McGuinty‬⁩ is sending a copy of his new book — a selection of inspirational quotes dating back centuries — to every MP, MPP, MLA, MNA and MHA in Canada. He’s hoping his curation will give them a little inspiration. Worth a read.

Arthur Lismer’s 1913 “The Clearing” has long been my favourite piece of Queen’s Park art. The Group of Seven masterpiece had been hidden away from public view in the cabinet room for the past eight or nine years. It is finally back on display in the hallway here.
