THE WAY THEY WERE

Jeanne Beker & J.D. Roberts: Before Fashion and Fox News, There Was The NewMusic!

Two young Canadian broadcasters, one legendary Toronto record store, and a television show that helped change music journalism forever.

Pictured outside Sam the Record Man on Yonge Street in Toronto, Jeanne Beker and J.D. Roberts were the original co-hosts of Citytv’s groundbreaking music program The NewMusic, which debuted on September 29, 1979.

Created by John Martin, the show was unlike anything Canadian television had seen before. Instead of simply introducing musical performances, Beker and Roberts went backstage, interviewed rock stars, explored the music business, and examined the culture surrounding rock and roll.

Their chemistry helped make The NewMusic essential viewing for a generation of Canadian music fans, years before MuchMusic arrived in 1984.

Both would go on to remarkable careers.

Beker became a Canadian fashion icon, hosting FashionTelevision from 1985 to 2012 and bringing international runway culture into Canadian living rooms.

Roberts, meanwhile, traded his rock-and-roll image for serious journalism. Eventually known as John Roberts, he built an international broadcasting career with CBS News, CNN and Fox News.

And behind them stands another Canadian legend: Sam the Record Man, the Yonge Street landmark where generations of music lovers spent countless hours flipping through albums and discovering their next favourite record.

Two future broadcasting stars, one unforgettable record store, and a wonderful snapshot of Toronto’s musical past.

Who remembers watching Jeanne and J.D. on The NewMusic?

Mark Carney said that Canada"s economic partnership with China are "much, much, much less" then the security risks posed by than the United States. "

Why do we have Chinese run police stations here in Canada ?

These men died so that you could live the life you have today.

That's why it's so important to buy a poppy.

What do you honestly think would happen if a white guy like me tried to walk out of a government owned LCBO store with just one bottle of rye....without paying?

November 11 is Remembrance Day. November 12 was Bill Dailey’s birthday. He never got to turn sixteen.

William Edward Dailey was fourteen when he enlisted. He was a kid from Gananoque, Ontario, the son of Timothy and Florence. In July 1916, he wrote to his mother before heading into the trenches as a bugler.

“I suppose I will see some great sights over there.”

On September 7, a sniper killed Bill during the Battle of the Somme. He was fifteen. He’s buried in France.

Back in Gananoque, his mother received a letter from another bugler. He wanted her to know how much the boys missed Bill. He told her that her son was always smiling and ready to lend a hand.

At eleven this morning, when the bugle sounds, think of the boy who used to play one. And in those two minutes of silence, let’s ask ourselves an honest question. Is the Canada we’re building worthy of what it cost him?

Thinking of Bill this morning, and of all the soldiers who served. Those who came home, and those who never did.

We will remember them.

The biggest threat to Canada is Mark Carney.

[Kat Timpf @KatTimpf]

On the receiving end of some pretty wild verbal abuse for these comments simply acknowledging affordability IS an issue for many Americans, and buying a home IS harder for younger Americans than it used to be.

Socialism isn’t the answer. But if Republicans keep denying that these issues are real, they will keep losing… particularly with younger voters.

[Conservative Party @CPC_HQ]

Canadian steel and auto workers are losing their jobs while the Liberals hand your tax dollars to corporations that ship jobs south.

Letters and photo ops won’t save those jobs.

Mark Carney must fire his costly, job-killing minister, Mélanie Joly: https://t.co/dzGqucxaVB

THEY STOOD ON GUARD

NOVEMBER 11, 1918

Two Minutes from Peace: The Last Canadian to Fall

At 10:58 a.m. on November 11, 1918, Private George Lawrence Price died from a German sniper’s bullet in Belgium.

At 11:00 a.m., the guns of the First World War fell silent.

Two minutes. That was all that separated a 25-year-old Canadian soldier from surviving the Great War.

Born on December 15, 1892, in Falmouth, Nova Scotia, George was the son of James and Annie Price. As a young man, he headed west to Saskatchewan, finding work as a farm labourer near Moose Jaw.

In October 1917, he was called up for military service under Canada’s Military Service Act. His surviving recruitment papers list his occupation as farm labourer, his marital status as single, and his home address as Moose Jaw.

By May 1918, he had joined the 28th Battalion (Northwest), Canadian Expeditionary Force, serving on the Western Front.

In September, George survived a poison gas attack in France. After receiving medical treatment, he returned to his battalion later that month.

He had survived the trenches, the fighting and the gas. By November, the war was finally nearing its end.

On the morning of November 11, 1918, Canadian troops were advancing through the Belgian countryside near Mons. The Armistice had been signed earlier that morning, but the ceasefire would not take effect until precisely 11:00 a.m.

Near the village of Ville-sur-Haine, George and several comrades crossed a canal and began searching houses for German soldiers.

At approximately 10:57 a.m., as George emerged from a house, a sniper’s bullet struck him in the chest.

His comrades pulled him back inside. Local Belgian civilians rushed to help, including a young woman who attempted to comfort the wounded Canadian.

But his injuries were fatal.

At 10:58 a.m., George Lawrence Price died.

Two minutes later, the Armistice took effect.

The war that had consumed more than four years and millions of lives was finally over.

George would never see home again.

One particularly touching detail survives from those final moments. A small fabric maple leaf flower, stained with his blood, was preserved by local residents as a remembrance of the young Canadian who died on their doorstep.

Today, George rests in St. Symphorien Military Cemetery near Mons. A memorial stands near the place where he fell, and the people of Belgium have continued to honour his sacrifice for generations.

He is remembered as the last Canadian soldier killed in battle during the First World War.

George was not alone that morning. Forty Canadians lost their lives on November 11, 1918, even as the world prepared to celebrate peace.

This Remembrance Day, when the clock approaches eleven and Canadians bow their heads in silence, remember the young farm labourer from Nova Scotia who came within two minutes of surviving the war.
