Today’s Perspective

Politics getting
in the way
of honouring heroes
Afghanistan war hero Jess Larochelle died last fall without the Canadian Victoria Cross being awarded him, to the dismay of many who also served in the Canadian military as well as his family and friends. Now there’s a movement to have his mother, Anna Larochelle, designated by Canadian Legions as the national Silver Cross Mother.
Retired Captain Mike Harrison and Andrew Larochelle, brother to Jess, join Echo Essential podcast co-hosts Scott Clark and Dave Dale to discuss the merits of both campaigns in today’s episode.
90th birthday plan
for Quints unveiled
by new chairwoman
“It’s both incredible and horrifying … all at the same time,” says 2NBWL podcast host Lisa Boivin after learning more about the Dionne Quints from the new chairwoman of the museum board, Wendy St. Denis.
Today’s episode covers everything from how the province stepped in to protect the famous quintuplets from being exploited (and then exploited them) to one of their own children disappearing with settlement cash.
Read the details of the 90th birthday celebration week, beginning Saturday, May 25, at BayToday HERE.

Today’s Zen Suggestion: If you’re not in the mood to teach someone when they ask, hold your tongue when they continue to be ignorant or falter. You missed your chance.
