The skills associated with journalism may or may not make for a great book-length text. John Filion has been a City of Toronto councillor for 15 […]

Sometimes, I could not get out any words at all; that was a long time ago

For many years, I was involved in community self-organizing on behalf of people who stutter. Years ago I formed a Toronto-based self-help group for people who stutter; our first meeting took place in September 1988 at the North York Central Library.
