    Buffy Sainte-Marie

    Beverly “Buffy” Sainte-Marie (born Beverley Jean Santamaria), singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, social activist, philanthropist, visual artist (born 20 February 1941 in Stoneham, Massachusetts). Since the early 1960s, singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie has identified as Cree from the Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan, where she was adopted as an adult according to Cree law. Sainte-Marie was an important figure in the Greenwich Village and Toronto folk music revivals in the 1960s and is perhaps best known for her 1964 anti-war anthem “Universal Soldier.” She also won a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Academy Award for co-writing the hit song “Up Where We Belong.” She received many other accolades during her long career, including Canada’s highest civilian honours and awards reserved for Indigenous artists. However, Sainte-Marie’s Indigenous ancestry was called into question by CBC’s The Fifth Estate in October 2023. In early 2025, Sainte-Marie was stripped of the Order of Canada, her six Juno Awards and two Polaris Music Prizes. Her inductions into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame were all revoked, as was her honorary degree from the University of Toronto.

    Bunkhouse Men

    Partly as a result of this, but primarily because jobs moved around, bunkhouse men were highly mobile, tramping within regions and sometimes across the country to find work. They were also often at the forefront of labour radicalism.

    Buzz Hargrove (Profile)

    The presidential suite of the downtown Toronto hotel is not looking terribly presidential. Glossy mahogany surfaces are littered with papers and empty pop cans. There is a constant flow of denim-clad people and a perpetual hum of fax machines. This is the "war room" of the Canadian Auto Workers.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on December 16, 1996
