The Travers Debates
The Travers Debates were held recently at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. It was a fundraiser for the R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship named after Toronto Star columnist Jim Travers, who died in 2011.
Jim Travers, 1948-2011
Toronto Star columnist Jim Travers passed away yesterday at the age of 62 and after nearly 40 years in journalism. Last year, Mr. Travers won the National Newspaper Award for political writing after penning a lament and clarion call for Canadian democracy. His words then are only more vital now.
Schoolyard tripe! Poisonous! Demeaning! Anti-American!
The critics are raving.
