Saw him in Ottawa in early July when he agreed to be part of Ottawa performing arts festival.great seats in front row.He seems extremely observant and a listerner.very nice actually.I did chat with his wife Elainereally sweet.

I live in northern Ontario, where there is a large francophone community. I am an anglophone but I regret hot having learned French.

Hence"blue"blood.
I am not a tory.far from it.
Plummer seems a strong advocate for the rights of french speaking Quebecers from what he says in his book despite his upbringing.He is fluently bilingual and feels that more anglos should be.I agree.

Ah yes, Abbott was a Tory. I overlooked that detail.

Perhaps there might be a better descriptor than blue blood even though it is accurate.His grandfather on his mothers side was Sir John Abbott who was one of our early Canadian Prime ministers.Abbott also financed railway building in Canada.Think his family had a hand in founding McGill.he has a neat history.

Blue blood?

Yessaw him perform in Ottawa a month ago and we watched him in a new film called Remember last nite..no plans to retire apparently:)

I wish that book would be updated. So much has happened in his professional life since it was written!
