    Canada has lost a great Parliamentarian. Jim Carr spoke at the Pearson podium several times and for that we are grateful. Manitoba and Canada are richer for his contributions.

    Yad Vashem is a place all Canadians should want to visit, Jew or non-Jew, and without their Canadian patrioism even being an issue. We owe it to future generations not to forget the past.
