Toronto. My friend Clint Hryhorijiw sent me an email recently with a link to CTV news. The next day I had a phone call from good friend George Dunbar who read the same article in the Globe and Mail (The Globe article is behind a pay wall which may restrict your reading).
Some time back (March 16, 2025), I did a post on the arrest of Mr Wood who stole a famous Karsh portrait of Churchill in an Ottawa hotel and replaced it with a fake to deter discovery.
Both Clint and George contacted me to say Wood was sentenced to two years less a day for the theft given the extenuating circumstances. The article is of interest as the portrait is famous, and the photographer was also based in Ottawa. Small world indeed!
