Community Newsletter of St. Patrick’s Society of MontrealNUACHT Guest Speaker no stranger to the Society By Andrea Stanford ere it is, folks: The INSIDE SCOOP Photo: Hon Kevin Tierney – this year’s Guest Speaker at the St. Patrick’s Society Annual Siegel Lois luncheon. You know the name; Kevin has been involved with Montreal’s Irish Community for some time. You’ve seen him at Ciné Gael Events, he was the Guest of Honour at the 2008 St. Patrick’s Ball and has been twice featured right here in Nuacht. But beyond the impressive resumé and well-merited accolades, what is Kevin Tierney really like? As Kevin’s former assistant, I’m here to tell you. I worked with Kevin for two years and on three productions, including a little- known fi lm called Bon Cop/Bad Cop. As his executive assistant, I had backstage access to the force that is Kevin Tierney. I’ve witnessed the on-set behavior and I’ve been privy to many interesting exchanges. I was there when the fi lm exploded onto Kevin Tierney: the 2013 SPS Luncheon’s Guest Speaker the scene and became not only the fi rst ever bilingual fi lm made in Canada, but When asked how he felt about his invitation to be the Guest the highest grossing movie in the history Speaker at this year’s luncheon, Kevin says “I am honoured, of Quebec and Canadian cinema. I saw particularly as it comes some six or seven years, after I became fi rsthand how fame didn’t change him at semi-famous and for a remarkably short time.” Humble and all, how Kevin stayed the same affable, self-deprecating, perhaps one of Kevin’s greatest qualities is his supportive man who has stayed in my life accessibility.

Though Mrs. Nicole Tinmouth was never a chairperson, it was her suggestion that a Christmas concert be held as a fund raiser. This event has blossomed into twenty years of magical memories and has Michael Kenneally, Rhona Kenneally become a successful fundraiser for SPS. The concert netted over and Ann English $10,000.00 including $3,090.00 for the Silent Auction (a litho went for $1,500.00!).

P., the new edition is now issued under the editorship of the present proprietor. The Companion, established as long ago as 1862 by Mr. Henry J. Morgan, has attained a high character as an accurate and trustworthy record of the matters and things coming within its scope. It is now regarded as one of the indispensable adjuncts of Parliament, and no Library, public or private, can be said to be complete without it. It will be the aim of the new proprietor to en¬ deavor to sustain the high character of The Companion which long years of patient labor on the part of its founder and its subsequent proprietor had achieved for the book—and if possible to add to and improve it. The present edition, owing to the recent General Elec¬ tions for the Dominion and the Provinces, is almost entirely made up of new matter. The facts have been carefully collated from the most reliable sources, and can be entirely depended on.

It is an examination of the ideas and actions of the last great French Canadian Conservative disciple of the LaFontaine political tradition. That tradition stemmed from Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine's claims during the 1840's that in a union with English- speaking Canadians the flexibility of the British constitutional system could best ensure the acquired rights of French Canadians and also a healthy climate for the favourable growth of their language, institu­ tions and nationality.

  • The Jews of Canada

    The Jews of Canada

    THE JEWS OF CANADA By MARTIN WOLFF Though nearly four hundred years have elapsed since French explorers first landed on the shores of Canada, the definite history of Jewish settlement commences only with the British occupation in 1760, and it was more than a hundred years later before they arrived in any considerable numbers from Europe. With its vast extent, stretching from ocean to ocean, and having an area of 3,729,666 square miles—comparable with 3,617,673 square miles for the United States, includ- ing Alaska—and comprising almost 28% of the total area of the British Empire, Canada is yet but sparsely peopled, its total population today being only about 9,000,000, representing about 2.5 to the square mile of4and. With its dry, invigorating winters, and balmy fruitful summers, its fertile soil, vast forests, and rich mineral deposits, Canada holds illimitable possibilities for the future under the British flag, where every man has a chance to work for the glory of God and the brotherhood of man. In the course of the past one hundred and sixty-five years, and especially during the past half century, the Jews of Canada have grown steadily in numbers, in the nature and extent of their conribution to the upbuilding of the country, and in the solidarity and efficiency of their com- munal institutions.
