The British coal miners' strike became a key part of the plot in "Billy Elliott". It was strange to see that musical, and realize that it was set when I was about Billy's age.
He was 5’10”. Not exactly tiny. If you do a Google image search, you can see photos of Nash standing next to Peter Mansbridge who is over 6’ tall. Note the height disparity, not huge.
That 32-cent stamp reminds me that was the year Canada Post released the "A" stamp with no "32" on it because the year before, they decided to raise the price from 17 cents but were too embarrassed/scared to tell Canadians ahead of time. With all that cash flowing in now, no wonder the postal workers were flexing their collective muscle.
2:11 Was that just the ambulances number or was the emergency number at the time in Toronto 999 like in Britain? I know in Winnipeg when they started having a single emergency number they initially chose 999.
I miss the real news, when facts were presented, journalism portrayed, and the tone was without an agenda. RIP real news...and Knowlton Nash.
I remember this guy. Wow
This would be March 3, 1985, based on the story saying that this was the last day of the 1984-1985 UK coal miner's strike.

I walked past Knowlton Nash in the Toronto Public Library. He was TINY.

Back when news was news and not a religious sermon.
Possible postal strike, bloc quebecois, winter storms....the more things change....
