THE FIFTH COLUMN

"This column is dedicated to the proposition that Canada (and indeed the world) is in a crisis situation and that fundamental social change is required to remedy this situation." - The First Column, Lambda November 2, 1971 This blog is inspired by my column of the same name in the Laurentian University Newspaper, Lambda, from 1971-1973. The title refers to the concept of subverting the system from within. To read key excerpts from those columns read the first few posts in this blog.

Farewell to The Old Oak Tree

Our Old Oak Tree (actually the city's tree) which we have had since we moved into our house in 1979, although it looked healthy, had enough damage to make it a safety hazard, so it has come down. It will be replaced by the City with a new Oak tree next year. The photo collage below shows the tree in the beginning, the end, and after it was gone.

The slideshow below memorialize the tree. The first two photos were taken in 1980, the rest in December 2025. The photos were taken with my Panasonic Lumix FZ300. Photo editing was mostly done with Franzis Photo Projects software.
