Frank Stronach still chasing his dreams amid legal feud with daughter Belinda

“An old man walks into the dining room of the private golf club northeast of Toronto with apparent purpose. He is two minutes late for an appointment and carrying a black briefcase in his right hand, which he plunks onto a chair, and then fishes through its contents to produce a spiral-bound book with colour-coded page dividers. He starts flipping pages, and stops when he finds what he is looking for. ‘I don’t know how much you know about me,” he said. “But this is my resumé. It’s two pages long. I thought it might be helpful for you to read.'”

Fisherman’s Last Stand

“For the next three days, the Fisherman’s Provider II was stranded on that rock, its captain a ghost. For the next three days, the people of Canso watched helplessly from shore, waiting for a man to be rescued. None of the authorities tasked with preserving life —not the Coast Guard, not the Canadian Armed Forces search and rescue, and not the RCMP —went aboard the boat and saved its captain. In the end, it was a group of six fishermen who risked their lives to find Stoddard —dead in his bunk, still in his fishermen’s coveralls —and bring his body home. Months later, questions continue to swirl among Canso locals as to how those best equipped to save the captain, didn’t.”
