Robbie Robertson's book, Testimony, is full of nostalgia. By 1970, he was having a hard time writing new material for The Band. “We no longer had our old clubhouse/private street gang mentality. The songs at this time had a strong theme about things becoming extinct: railroads (“how can you get to sleep when the whistle don’t blow?”), blacksmiths, traveling carnivals, the old ways of the North American Indians. There was a despair to it, and a reflection of the world shifting inside the band.”

People I admire who happen to be female: June Callwood. She lived and breathed social justice and civil liberty. June was also one of the first journalists in Canada to write about the physical and emotional toll AIDS was taking on a generation of gay men in Toronto in the early 1980s. Her book, Jim: A Life With AIDS (1988, Lester & Orpen Dennys), still pops up occasionally in used bookstores around the city as a reminder of how we need to listen to and take care of each other.

People I admire, who happen to be women: film director Deepa Mehta. I remember coming back from a press trip in Stuttgart and waiting forever at YYZ for a taxi. Deepa was waiting too and we gave each other the nod. #IndoCanadianFilm #elementstrilogy #CanadianFilm #TIFF #fiercewomen
