Maurice McGregor was a cardiologist, professor, researcher and mentor.

When Maurice McGregor graduated from high school, his father sat him down for a pragmatic talk about the future. The fact that young Maurice had not been the smartest of students did not preclude him from pursuing a career in education, law or medicine because if only the smartest were able to take on positions of authority, the world would be in a lot of trouble.

The son chose medicine because it was a field that sparked his curiosity. And, coming from a family of fierce pacifists who were all aware that a new world war was on the horizon, he wanted to be able to take part as a healer who would not have to maim or kill others.

An autoworker gives the middle finger to the NDP's then-leader Jagmeet Singh as he tries to meet workers at the Chrysler Stellantis plant during the federal election, in Windsor, Ont., on March 27.

A year ago, then-NDP leader Jagmeet Singh’s Labour Day message to workers insisted that his party alone would stand shoulder-to-shoulder with working Canadians and the unions that work to protect their rights.

Six months later, Singh stood outside of an auto plant in Windsor, Ont. during the federal election, hoping to offer support and comfort to workers reeling from news of new auto tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. But Singh was not greeted with warmth – most of them ignored him entirely, rushing past with their heads down as they came off shift, while some others indicated a preference for the Conservatives and Leader Pierre Poilievre.
