bout de papier, Vol. 3, No. 3 (1985) — Fall 1985 // Automne 1985, p. 3
We have made radical changes to bout de papier during the past year. Our spring issue introduced our new magazine. In this edition aggressive advertising by our Business Manager, Debra Donaldson, has allowed us to introduce colour (literally, rather than figuratively: some would argue there has always been a lot of the latter). On suggestions from Madeleine Lamont, we have made some changes to our layout to make it more appealing.
There are also new features. Laurel Pardy has agreed to take on a regular column which will examine issues affecting the foreign service community, especially those of interest to the spouse. We introduce a Guest Column. Richard Doyle, the former editor emeritus of the Globe and Mail and recently appointed Senator, is a member of the joint Parliamentary Committee examining the Foreign Policy Review. We asked him for his observations on the first stage of that process in which the committee spent its summer travelling from city to city to look at the merits of free trade with the USA and participation in SDI.
Alberta has a new Premier. We look at some of the activities abroad in business in that province. Ted Lipman spoke with Tom d’Aquino, this issue’s Homme D’Affaire.
Mitchell Sharp has been associated as public servant or minister with every government since MacKenzie King and we spoke with him about his remarkable career in the service of Canada. John Holmes continues to participate in the conduct of Canadian foreign policy. We spoke with him a few months back in his office at the CIIA in Toronto. His book about Canadian-American relations, Life with Uncle, has just been translated into Japanese. Tommy Burns epitomized Canadian peacekeeping. He died in September and his biographer, Michael Tucker, remembers the man and his career.
PAFSO has a new contract. It was not easily negotiated; for the first time in our history we went to arbitration. We look at the process and its outcome. Consular tales continue to flow into our office – keep them coming! Sidney Friefeld looks at the peculiarities of English or should we say Engcaise. A Aalto is back with a baseball trivia quiz for those who have not forgotten those amazing Jays. Our book reviews have, alas, been held for our Winter issue.
