Always
Says
"What
He
Thinks
Some people hesitate to say what they 'really believe. But not Bill Smiley. He's not one to think one thing,
say another.
That's why you can count on his column, every week in this newspaper, to take a stand that's either
opinionated, controversial or even irreverent—but always original.
Bill Smiley is Canada's most widely, syndicated newspaper columnist. He's 44, has a wife, two children, and a
mortgage, He once published a weekly newspaper, but is now a high school teacher—which he compares to work-
ing in a steel mill.
If you appreciate candid commentary on things Canadian, stirred with a dash of humor, a good measure of
healthy scepticism and a perceptive understanding of your fellow man, you probably already read, Bill Smiley's
column, If you don't, you should. Look for it every week in . ,
