Get A Muzzle On Her!
by M. Carol Jamieson
On September 14, 1962, twenty-year-old Carol Jamieson’s world shattered. In an instant—a car crash on a darkened road—and her young husband was gone, leaving her alone with their one-year-old son, Sean, and a future no one that age is prepared to face. She refused the easy path offered by well-meaning friends including those who encouraged her to take government assistance; she would not be pitied, she would not be rescued, and she would not surrender her independence. Instead, she carved out an extraordinary life from the wreckage. Born in wartime Toronto and raised in a household plagued by alcohol, physical and mental abuse, Carol learned early to rely on her own fierce mind. Books, music, and ambition became her lifelines. When tragedy obliterated the first safe harbour she had ever known, she rebuilt—brick by brick—through sheer force of will. She rose first in media and public relations, shaping stories and successes for CTV, the Miss Canada Pageant, and later the CBC. She organized Stompin’ Tom Connors’ televised wedding and arranged his remarkable singing audience with Queen Elizabeth II. But it was in politics—Canada’s rough-and-tumble, back-room, late-night version of it—where Carol’s voice became impossible to ignore. She campaigned, strategized, fundraised, and problem-solved for candidates across the Progressive Conservative landscape, from municipal hopefuls to premiers and prime ministers. Some sought her counsel eagerly; others were less enthusiastic—yet they got it anyway. And more often than not, they listened. Beyond politics, she reinvented herself yet again, becoming co-founder of the Smith & Jamieson Tea Company, transforming thousands of kitchens across Canada and the United States and earning the title “Canada’s Tea Lady.” After leaving the tea trade, she plunged into real estate development, delivering hundreds of new homes and twenty retirement residences across Ontario and Quebec—all while carving out time for her growing family, including her second son, Alexander, and three cherished grandchildren. Today, Carol channels her relentless energy into solving one of Canada’s greatest challenges: affordable housing. With new ideas and unflinching resolve, she continues to push institutions, governments, and entire industries toward bold change. Get a Muzzle on Her! is the story of a woman who never fit neatly into a boys’ club—and never cared to. It is a testament to courage, determination, reinvention, and the unstoppable power of a voice that refuses to be quieted. As the late Toronto City Councillor and mayoral candidate Anne Johnston once quipped, “Carol didn’t wait for the White Knight—she got her own horse.” And she’s still riding it.

Sailing Around The World On Freedom-V
A Memoir by Gilles Savoie
I dreamed of owning a sailboat and traveling the ocean to visit the world. My story begins in my home province of Quebec, Canada, where I learned to sail, and moves to Vancouver, British Columbia, where I bought Freedom-V, my sailboat. Sailing Around The World On Freedom-V chronicles the first seven of the thirty-five years I spent living aboard as I traveled this planet, visiting more than sixty countries and islands. My adventurous lifestyle grew from my first blue-water passage to Hawaii and back, to leaving Vancouver for good in 1984 and living aboard while sailing down the Pacific Coast. I visited ports in the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and then Panama before transiting the Panama Canal. The challenges of this lifestyle included paddling into the Darien Jungle on the Moqui River and staying in the remote San Blas Islands, waiting for a weather window so I could begin my Caribbean adventures. From fun experiences like Trinidad’s Carnival to dangerous ones like surviving Hurricane Hugo in Charlotte Amalie, in the US Virgin Islands, I learned what is possible when you have a dream and work hard to accomplish it. Freedom-V was my home and mode of travel throughout these adventures.
