WILLIAM WEINTRAUB AND THE ENGLISH COMMUNITY

As author (Why Rock the Boat, City Unique) and film maker William Weintraub was introduced by his good friend and film maker Harry Gulkin, the guests were treated to very short clips of his recent and controversial film "The Rise and Fall of English Montreal". He has focused for a number of years on the lost/diminished communities and the missed opportunities. He emphasizes that he chronicles the English community, as others who write about the French Canadians often overlook, or neglect the importance of the contributions of the English (Scots and Irish, too).

CONCLUSION on Wednesday Night #822

The many new faces - and opinions - around the table ensured a varied and highly stimulating dialogue, with a proportionately low degree of agreement. It was a splendid evening!
