Fraser Sutherland described himself as a “card-carrying cultural nationalist.” He remained so throughout his life, while becoming increasingly irritated by the paths followed by Canadian literature, criticism and publishing. A poet, editor, educator and lexicographer, he died on March 28 aged 74, at Toronto General Hospital as a result of complications from heart surgery.
Fraser Roderick Sutherland was born on Dec. 5, 1946 in Pictou County, N.S., the youngest child of Russell and Mary (née MacHardy). Raised on the family farm in Scotsburn with his older brothers, William and Hugh, he was not meant for farming life.

Some students say they’ve faced additional stress and costs associated with learning from home, and some are even left wondering if it’s all worth the price. “It just puts more stress on what has already been a really stressful year,” said Maryanne McLarty, a student at Dalhousie. The university’s budget advisory committee recommended a three per cent tuition hike for the next academic year. The draft of the plan says the increase will help provide support to students, faculty, and staff as they continue to navigate the pandemic.
