We have a Right Honourable birthday to celebrate today on Art’s History. It is, of course, former Governor General Adrienne Clark’s big day. She is turning 84. The Queen’s Representative to Canada from 1999 to 2005, Clarkson has continued with a punishing personal schedule in her “retirement.” I know Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast will join with me in sending along birthday wishes to Madam Clarkson.
