Greetings, my reading friend, and grab a seat. I will be right with you. Creating a philosopher’s stone is no easy matter, especially when people keep interrupting. Just ask Nicolas Flamel, the Potterian one, not the real one who was a public writer, copyist and sworn bookseller. Not an alchemist. Once upon a time, in November 1949, several (5 or 6?) American steelmakers incorporated Iron Ore Company of Canada Incorporated (IOCC), an American firm in spite of its name. At the time, the

Given how lazy yours truly tends to be, my reading friend, yes, yes, lazy, I admit it, I chose this week’s topic of our blog / bulletin / thingee because it could be put forward in a relatively brief pontification. Our tale began in the fall of 1961 with a telephone call to John A. “Johnny” Roberts, one of the founders of a firm which, only a few years before, had been one the largest and most active aerial survey and photography firm in Canada, a firm known both locally and globally, Spartan

Let us indeed talk (read?) about art, airport art to be more precise, my reading friend. When the Second World War came to an end, in 1945, the terminal buildings of Canada’s largest airports were by no means huge buildings. Indeed, one could argue they looked a lot, and felt a lot, like bus depots. As the accumulated desire of passengers to travel was released, these terminal buildings became busier and busier. In 1946, approximately 837 000 people travelled by air in Canada. By 1956

Given the situation which has prevailed for 20 months (!?), that is since March 2020, yours truly must admit having spent many hours, very many hours, too many hours, in front of my boob tube. Finding content that was / is worth seeing was / is not always easy. This being said (typed?), the fact is that a television set is one of the most important items in most North American homes. I would like to bring to your attention on this autumn day the life and times of a pioneer of Québec / Canadian

It is with some nostalgia that yours truly quoted the first pair of lines from the title song of the popular American situation comedy Green Acres.
