There’s not much to this picture; just a man with his daughter in a stroller waiting to cross an intersection in Vancouver. The man, however, is Joe Clark, leader of her majesty’s loyal opposition and soon after this picture was taken he became Prime Minister of Canada. The picture was taken just before the 1979 election as I was walking back to my car from an unrelated assignment. I thought it might make a nice father’s day picture for The Province but it wasn’t published. This was the time before politicians had to have security guards, when people were polite enough to leave famous people alone as they walked down the street.
