ICYMI - Before & After Terry Fox: What 1980 Taught Canada About Itself

ICYMI - Before & After Terry Fox: What 1980 Taught Canada About Itself

Terry Fox is still in Canadian classrooms, still in the currency debate, still the name that comes up when Canada talks about who it actually is.

Ed Conroy anchors the moment in time: 1980, a Canada punch-drunk from the 1970s, facing a real chance of losing Quebec, and then one young man with cancer who ran into the middle of all of it and made the country stop.

Ed Conroy's real question isn't about 1980 at all. It's about now: with fracturing happening all over the place, is a Terry Fox moment even possible anymore, and what would it take?

Topics: Terry Fox, 1980 Canada, Canadian history, national fracturing, Marathon of Hope
