Pierre Berton is dead...
...and I am sad.
The 84-year-old journalist, writer, all around Canadian icon, Pierre Berton died at Toronto's Sunnybrooke hospital today. The cause of death is not known yet but he was battling with diabetes and congestive heart failure in his final years.
According to Canadian Press (via The Toronto Star and The National Post,) Berton churned out over 15,000 words a day at his prime. As far as I can tell, The Globe and Mail is currently the only paper running its own obituary.
Rest in peace Mr. Berton.
