McEACHERN,
Allan
Davis (1926-2008)
It is with gratitude for a life well-lived that his family announces
the passing of Allan Davis
McEACHERN on January 10, 2008. Predeceased
by his wife of 44 years, Gloria, he is survived by his loving
wife Madam Justice Mary
NEWBURY, his daughters Jean
WILLIAMS
(Michael) and Joanne
EVANS
(John,) his grandchildren Bria, Stephen,
Jenna, Laura, Rosalind and Ian, his brother Bruce, his sister
Lillian McDONELL, and many nieces and nephews. Allan was the
grand_son and
son of pioneering British Columbia families who
instilled in him a love of 'God's country', the magnificent natural
setting of British Columbia and an appreciation of his Scottish
heritage. In his earlier school years he spent the winters in
Penticton due to his asthma but later was able to stay in Vancouver
and attend high school at Kitsilano and Lord Byng, where he made
many lifelong Friends. He spent his youth playing team sports
(rugby and football) and swimming in the waters of English Bay,
where later in life he spent his leisure time 'crashing around
the Bay' in his sailboats Skye I, II, and
III. He also loved
the mountains of western Canada and treasured the memory of a
summer spent as fire lookout above Lake Louise. Allan attended
University of British Columbia and completed his B.A. and Bachelor
of Law degrees (l950). He practiced law at Russell and DuMoulin
(now Fasken Martineau DuMoulin) in Vancouver for 28 years before
his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British
Columbia and later as Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal of
British Columbia. Law was his passion. He loved the collegiality
of the profession and firmly believed in the Shakespearean principle
'Strive mightily in court, but eat and drink as Friends.' All
those he befriended attest to his integrity, humility, energy,
intelligence and sense of humour. He was a superlative mentor
to many talented law students and took great pride in his establishment
of the Inns of Court program. He was a progressive Chief Justice
in that he initiated and encouraged the use of computers by all
judges, set up an interactive webpage and created a Legal Compendium
for the public to keep abreast of legal decisions. Many female
lawyers and judges owe much to his efforts to open the profession
to women. In addition to his profession, he co-founded the Kats
Rugby Club and was actively involved with the British Columbia
Lions and the Canadian Football League for many years. More recently,
he wished to acknowledge the important role University of British
Columbia had contributed to his many successes in life, and accepted
the Alumni Association's nomination to run as Chancellor. It
was a position he held with great pride and dignity for almost
6 years. We are blessed for having known and loved this remarkable
man. In keeping with Allan's wishes, there will be a reception
held at a future date. He requested that in lieu of flowers,
donations be made to establish a University of British Columbia
Law Scholarship for a deserving student so that he or she might
have the opportunities Allan had.

Financial Post editor was the godfather of business journalism
in Canada
An economist first and journalist second, he understood early
the importance of properly covering Bay Street and financial
affairs. He also had an uncanny knack for discovering newsroom
talent
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S7
Toronto -- Dalton
ROBERTSON was executive editor of The Financial
Post back when it was a broadsheet weekly and had enormous influence
in the framing of public policy in Canada. He knew his weekly
could not compete with The Globe and Mail's daily Report on Business,
but using clear writing and solid content, he often scooped the
competition.
Every week for more than 20 years, he wrote two front-page columns
for the paper. One was an unsigned editorial, called The Nation's
Business. The other was the Outlook column, a weekly examination
of politics and economics in Canada.
He joined the newspaper in 1955 and, over the course of 32 years,
Mr. ROBERTSON became a hugely influential figure in Canadian
business journalism.
Dalton ROBERTSON was born in Rhode Island to Canadian parents
who returned home soon after his birth. He spent much of his
boyhood in Harriston, Ontario, a rural backwater about halfway
between Toronto and Lake Huron. Although he came from a distinguished
family - one of his grandfathers had been both the mayor of Harriston
and a member of Parliament - he grew up relatively poor.
After Harriston High School, he went to the University of Toronto,
graduating in 1949. He studied economics at the University of
Chicago, although he was never of the Milton Friedman school
of thought. Mr.
ROBERTSON's politics were capital-L Liberal and
he was an admirer of Walter Gordon, who was minister of finance
in the Lester Pearson years and a staunch Canadian economic nationalist.
Mr. ROBERTSON worked in the economics and research branch of
federal Labour Department for three years. His main achievement
there was starting a magazine for the Civil Service Association.
His first full-time job in journalism was at Canadian Business
magazine, then located in Montreal. He joined the Financial Post
two years later, at $500 a year.
He was hired by Ron
McEACHREN, a tyrant of an editor who terrified
most of his employees. Not Mr.
ROBERTSON.
They proved to get
along well. He learned to mimic Mr.
McEACHREN's voice and he
liked to telephone reporters and demand they report to the boss's
office. The reporters would arrive, shaking in their boots, to
find Mr. ROBERTSON waiting outside the door and hugely enjoying
his joke.
He took his work seriously, however, and felt passionately about
the issues of the day. In 1961, he rose to the defence of James
Coyne, the Bank of Canada governor, who was fired by prime minister
John Diefenbaker for taking a contradictory attitude to inflation.
"Dalton was firmly against inflation and for the bank's independence,"
said his friend and colleague Neville
NANKIVELL, who was editor
of the Financial Post for many years.
During the peak of stagflation in the Pierre Trudeau years, Mr.
ROBERTSON
chastised the federal Liberals for failing to control inflation.
"Restraint, it seems, has been clearly established as all that
is needed to cure Canada's persistent twitch towards double-digit
inflation," began his editorial of February 7, 1976.
Besides writing editorials, he was sent all over the world to
return with essays and long reports on such events as Britain
entering the European Community. He was dispatched to Australia
to investigate why that country's development was eclipsing Canada's
and how that might have shocked Wilfrid Laurier, a prime minister
who had famously predicted that the 20th century would belong
to Canada.
"The tide of money going into Australian resources - and many
other factors as well - suggests that if the 20th century is
to belong to anybody, it may be to Australia and not to Canada,"
he wrote in a long special report in 1971.
Later, as executive editor, he was in charge of just about everything,
including running the paper's domestic and foreign bureaus. A slender
and outgoing man who was well liked by colleagues, he possessed
a distinctive sense of style and a refined fondness for certain
cigars. With one eye brown and the other blue, he sported a neatly
trimmed beard and dressed well even while at home with Friends.
Once, on a trip to the Middle East, he took along a white suit
but was discouraged from attending a formal dinner. Canadian
embassy officials insisted he stay away; only the local potentate
could wear white.
In the newsroom, he was a tough boss who demanded clear writing
and accuracy from his stable of writers and reporters. He had
"a good eye for hiring and capacity for firing without leaving
blood on the floor," said his death notice, most of which he
wrote himself.
He was also seen as an early advocate for covering economics
and business properly.
"He played a really important role when business journalism was
starting to evolve, not just in his own work but in the people
he hired," said Christopher
WADDELL, a professor of journalism
at Carleton University who once worked under Mr.
ROBERTSON. "
Dalton
laid the groundwork for business journalism for the last 25 years."
Over the years, he groomed scores of young journalists and helped
launch them in their careers. Among them are Andrew Coyne of
Maclean's; Globe and Mail editor Edward Greenspon; Giles Gherson,
former editor of the Toronto Star and Edmonton Journal; Andrew
Cohen, a Carleton University associate professor and author
Gordon Pitts, a Report on Business columnist; Richard Blackwell,
an Report on Business reporter; and Ian Brown, a Globe feature
writer.
"He ran an incubator for business journalists," said Patricia
Best, who worked at The Financial Post from 1978 to 1985 and
is now an Report on Business columnist. "Dalton was so different.
When he hired me, he asked, 'What are you reading?' I said, Alice
Munro's short stories, which later I thought might not have been
too businesslike. The next day, he hired me and said it was because
I was reading Alice Munro."
She became the first woman at The Financial Post to cover the
auto industry and came to realize that, while he was kind, he
had high standards. "Dalton had faith in people and he took a
gamble on them. [But] he was tough as nails. He didn't like any
kind of fakery."
On a personal level, he took another gamble in 1981, when he
bought a house in southwestern France. After The Financial Post,
it was to become his second great passion. Located in the village
of Puycelci, about an hour north of Toulouse, it, too, benefited
from the ROBERTSON sense of style.
"It was built into the ramparts of the village and Dalton worked
at expanding the gardens and the house," said Bea
RIDDELL, a
colleague at The Financial Post and one of Mr.
ROBERTSON's closest
Friends. "He was a marvellous host, whether it was in France
or at home in Toronto."
He so loved the place that he decided to take early retirement
and spend more time there. To better integrate himself in the
community, he hired a local person to tutor him in French so
that he eventually became fluent.
For many years, he also owned a large house in the Rosedale area
of Toronto as well as a cottage in Ontario's Muskoka cottage
country. He later sold the Toronto house to concentrate on his
property in France.
He had done that sort of thing many times before - he was an
adept flipper of real estate, working his way up from the Toronto
neighbourhoods of Riverdale and Cabbagetown to the heights of
inner Rosedale and then to a choice property in France, all the
while keeping a smaller place back home. "You can't make any
money in journalism," he liked to say.
Not that anyone ever heard from him when he was in France for
long periods - at least not by e-mail. He hated computers. When
they arrived in force at The Financial Post, he ignored them.
He never owned one, never had an e-mail address and never learned
to type with any degree of skill or enthusiasm. "He would retire
into his office and write his editorials in long hand, then give
them to someone to type them out," Mr. Pitts recalled.
In later years, if Mr.
ROBERTSON had to send or receive e-mail,
he would get a friend to do it for him using their own account,
usually that of his companion, Brian
WILKS.
His retirement from The Financial Post in 1987 was a bittersweet
event. He was off for glorious France, but leaving his first
love behind - a somewhat unrequited love, at that. Years before,
he had been openly promised the job of editor-in-chief but then
passed over when the time came in the mid-1970s. Executives told
him they could not appoint a gay man as the editor of Canada's
most prominent business newspaper. Instead, they named Mr.
NANKIVELL
to the job. By way of compromise, Mr.
ROBERTSON became executive
editor.
Characteristically, he kept his disappointment to himself and
a few select Friends. At his retirement party, he joked that
he was leaving for three reasons: the advance of technology
the new work ethic that demanded arriving at the office before
10 a.m.; and society's puritanical attitude against smoking.
Dalton Sinclair
ROBERTSON was born in Providence, R.I., on October 25,
1927. He died after collapsing in Mexico on January 27, 2008.
He was 80 and suffered from lupus. He was 80. He is survived
by companion Brian
WILKS.
