Photos from 100 years of Anne event

Penguin Canada held a “100 Years of Anne” launch party at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum on a snowy Tuesday, February 12, evening. (All photos by Jason Nolan.)

Penguin editor Helen Reeves tells about when she first broached the idea of an Anne of Green Gables prequel in 2005 with L.M. Montgomery’s family heirs.

Kate Macdonald Butler (granddaughter of LMM) and a Canada Post official unveil two new Anne-themed stamps, and The Royal Canadian Mint unveiled a new 25 cent Anne-themed coin at the event. Former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, a loyal Anne fan, also came out for the event.

    The day I thought of doing an Anne sequel was like any other day when I couldn’t think of anything original. I never thought the family would be a problem because like me they think L.M. would be proud. And, Budge Wilson, who I’ve been told is a fine writer indeed, is just what L.M. would have wanted. This is not just about satisfying the insatiable Japanese need for anything Anne but about keeping the integrity and spirit of L.M.s masterwork alive. By the way can we show you some pretty stamps which are available from Canada Post for a nominal fee. Next from Penguin original bottled water from the Green Gables site. Buy two bottles and get a leather-bound edition of Adrienne Clarkson’s memoir free.

    Let God not be there. In any case we are not going abide His dictates. Many of us have chosen to live in a barbaric way, going back to the so called Stone age. Even if God is there probably He would love himself to be forgotten by people. Better Let God not be there.

    The question is not whether we need a new news network, but rather, whether the SunTV proposal is being fast-tracked--which seems to be the case--and, more important, whether this channel should both receive a Category 2 specialty license AND have "mandatory access". i.e., be mandatory on cable or satellite so that a viewer can&...
