"Twenty-nine years after Mr. Fox died of cancer, he remains a towering figure in our national mythology. His popularity crosses all political, social and cultural lines; he embodies the qualities we would most like the world to associate with us: Courage, Self sacrifice, Generosity, Perseverance and Humanity." (Globe and Mail Editorial, Feb 19, 2010)
Terry once said, "Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. Its got to keep going without me."
