Comparison essay

This presentation is a comparison of two

great Canadians. And by the end of this
presentation I will let you know who (in my
opinion) is the best Canadian

Ted Rogers
Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart, Ted Rogers used to
say. Indeed, the life story of this great Canadian visionarythe myriad
challenges he faced, and overcameis proof of that.
It was Rogers father, Edward Rogers Sr., who inspired Teds lifelong
passion for broadcasting and telecommunications. Edward invented a
radio that ran without batteries, and founded CFRB in 1927. Ted was just
five years old when his father passed away in 1939. Edward had little
capital or life insurance at the time of his death, and so his companies
were sold off. (Ted vowed hed one day regain control of CFRB;
although he never did, he was pursuing its current owner, Astral Media
Inc., even at the end.) From the time of his fathers death, Teds mother,
Velma Taylor Rogers Graham, instilled in me a great capacity to work
and rebuild what had been lost and never, ever give up, Rogers would
say.
Frederick
Tisdall
When a young doctor named Frederick Tisdall first came to The Hospital for Sick
Children (SickKids) in 1921 no one could have imagined what accomplishments
would follow.

In late 1929, Dr. Tisdall came into prominence when he became director of the
Nutritional Research Laboratories. He was described as 'dynamic', a 'wheeler-dealer',
a 'cleaver business man', and a 'publicity genius'.

The most pressing problem facing the hard working staff of the laboratory was
preparing good nutritious food for babies. At that time, infants were being fed cereal
and biscuits consisting mostly of wheat, oats or corn meal. All the bran and germ
had to be removed because whole grain cereal was difficult for a baby to digest.
