Ted Barris

@normaegraham1 @Gliderpilot44 @WeHaveWaysPod @sportsnag Norma, not only world’s best librarian, but also a history writer’s best friend. Many thanks. Ted.

The @WeHaveWaysPod author collection has grown thanks to @normaegraham1, @sportsnag and the most wonderful folks with the Canadian Zoom Social for the connection with Ted Barris. Another one added to the Pile of Shame. Knowledge of Canadian SWW contributions grows.

@Gliderpilot44 @WeHaveWaysPod @normaegraham1 @sportsnag Kevin, it’s a privilege for JUNO to join other books on your military history shelf. Heartfelt thanks. Ted.

@KathrynMarlow Thanks for mentioning my heron video. Here’s BC Aviation Museum event I refer to in an email I sent you earlier this morning.

⁦@ScottRegehr⁩ In Victoria for public appearance on one of my books. Heard you ask CBC host Kathryn Marlow re: herons in Beacon Hill Park. I shot tis video on Saturday. Enjoy. Ted Barris.

@kathrynmarlow Scott was asking about the herons in Beacon Hill Park. Shot this video there on Saturday.

.⁦@ebessner⁩ ⁦@loughtred⁩ ⁦@sportsnag⁩ ⁦@philipjalves⁩ Wondered why my car was the only one in the 630 CHED Radio parking lot (in Edmonton) for interview w/ host ⁦@JlynNye⁩. No. It’s because I’m first in-person guest in the station since March 2020!

@grahamctv The eviction notice is unlawful? That's a new one... It's time for the police to charge the illegal squatters with trespassing.

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Ever heard of an "interface fire"? Check out this week's Barris Beat to discover how interface fires - the wildfires that many rural centres are facing this week - may be as close as your backdoor. tedbarris.com/2022/08/02/wil…

@TheCJN Their “None is Too Many” book reminds us how vital Canada’s commitment to refugees must be. And particularly for Afghans and Ukrainians the country’s legislators must do better!

Irving Abella, who with fellow historian Harold Troper, became a household name in Canada for his withering indictment of this country’s war-era animus toward Jewish refugees escaping Nazi Europe, died July 3 after a long illness. thecjn.ca/lives/obituari…

As a public historian of Jewish Canada during the Second World War, I stood on the shoulders of giants, and professor #IrvingAbella was one of them. So sad to hear about his passing at age 82.

@TheCJN .@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Great story of family’s desire to make a difference in a Quebec community while learning the ropes of the movie distribution biz. Who knew?

How Jews brought the movies to Val-d'Or, Que.—and how the city is celebrating them today thecjn.ca/podcasts/how-j…

.@CBCHereandNow Yes, Massey has featured Joni, Gord & Neil. But no one commanded hall’s stage & house with as much grace as Laura Nyro in Nov. 1969. Thx to her magical voice & hall’s unique acoustics she captured the world’s attention while serenading each one of us. Never forget

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Just when weI thought there were NO NEW D-Day stories! Look what fellow author/podcaster Ellin Bessner and I found just in time for today's 78th anniversary. everythingzoomer.com/lifestyle/2022…

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Victoria Day holiday weekend F2 storm in Uxbridge came out of the sky in seconds last Saturday and right up my street. Barris Beat witnessed and survived to tell the tale. tedbarris.com/2022/05/24/not…

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves Movie cameras loved his villainous characters - Colin Thatcher, Windom Earle - but Kenneth Welsh was at his best on stage with just props and his command of Shakespeare. Barris Beat remembers. tedbarris.com/2022/05/08/a-s…

.@ebessner @loughtred @sportsnag @philipjalves At 9th annual Sam Sharpe Breakfast re: veterans' mental health, LCol (Ret'd) Christian Lillington spoke of a new pandemic - undeclared mental health disorders among veterans. Barris Beat was there. tedbarris.com/2022/05/05/war…
