Excellent work, Dennis! It was interesting with a fresh perspective. I’m sure Barry would have liked it and would have felt you understood his views on life. You did his story justice.

Bravo Dennis! Canada certainly was blessed to have a man as brilliant as Barry Sherman fighting the conglomerate pharmaceutical companies (that have become uncontrollable monsters if you ask me) and it's a terrible loss for us all. Even worse is that there was no one to fill his shoes upon his death.

In case you weren't aware Dennis, Hank Idsinga won't be returning your phone call. This was posted over on Websleuths the other day: https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/hunter-tps-homicide-chief-hank-idsinga-hangs-up-gun-and-badge

I look forward to more of your journalism!

Thank-you! Too kind.

A controversial but important Canadian, no doubt about it.

I don't speak to it much in the article, but I tend to see his role in Canadian pharma as a bit more complex than most in the media portray.

I did see that news story. An interesting development, but I question whether it will mean anything when it comes to police tactics on the case, which have been fairly conservative and careful with disclosures.

I always think of the walking man, and how no one outside TPS knew for 48 months. God knows what else they've got and aren't sharing...
