Todd (October 11, 1930 - July 21, 2017)  A lover of rhododendrons, a devourer of books, and a grandfather of particular talent, Norm always had time for a chat and a laugh. As a young naval architect, Norm left his native Scotland for Quebec City. Fiancée Jean soon joined him and they married on a snowy Christmas Eve in 1953. In the 1960s, they began raising a family in Ottawa, where Norm worked for the federal government while earning a post-graduate degree from Carleton University. The family moved to Victoria in 1972 so Norm could oversee construction of the Institute of Ocean Sciences (Patricia Bay). He remained there as Chief of Management Services until his retirement in 1987. Victoria's rhododendrons inspired Norm. He helped establish the Victoria chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, an organization he propagated as carefully as any cutting in his greenhouse. He shared his passion without reservation: he published extensively, lectured and consulted, organized conventions, and charmed countless visitors over the years at Firwood Nursery. Norm was husband of 63 years to Jean, father to children Ian (Tobi) and Elizabeth (Aaron), and beloved \"Grumpy\" to cherished grandchildren Genevieve, Charles, and Tucker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eHISTORY OF THE VICTORIA RHODODENDRON SOCIETY: The Victoria Rhododendron Society is a group of people from all walks of life whose common interest is  growing rhododendrons. Our organization was formed in 1979 as a community of like-minded people who enjoy, grow and collect these special plants.

On the surface, a bunch of old-timers are sitting around drinking beer and complaining about taxes and the government. But first impressions are deceptive this is not mere tavern talk. Listen more closely and you will find scalpel-sharp dissections of double-talk, political correctness, hypocrisy and lazy thinking. Nobody is spared. And beyond the political parables, there is a unique menagerie of genuinely memorable characters. They will drive you half-mad with their double standards and crazy schemes, but they are irresistible in their humanity.

The success of Harperism is no accident. Donald Gutstein documents the links between the politicians, think tanks, journalists, academics, and researchers who nurture and promote each other's neo-liberal ideas. They do so using funds provided by ultra-rich U.S. donors, by Canadian billionaires like Peter Munk, and by many big corporations--all of whom stand to gain from the ideas and policies the Harperites develop and push. This book casts new light on the last ten years of Canadian politics. It documents the challenges that Harperism--with or without Stephen Harper--will continue to offer to the many Canadians who do not share this pro-market world view.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR: Donald Gutstein is a writer and researcher, retired after teaching for 30 years in the Simon Fraser University School of Communication.
