"Time Magazine included Lewis in its 2005 list of the most influential people in the world. "Until there is a future in which the vulnerable are protected and new life and new hope can blossom again," the magazine wrote, "Stephen Lewis will never consider his work to be done."

The holder of 42 honorary doctorates from Canadian and American universities, Lewis was invested as a Companion of the Order of Canada in 2003 in recognition of his lifetime of public service. He was also awarded the Pearson Peace medal in 2004 by the UN Association in Canada."

Stephen Lewis lived long enough to see his son Avi Lewis be elected leader of the Federal NDP Party.

Avi Lewis is married to Naomi Klein who came to Mount Allison University to speak in 2016..

Note:  I had planned to attend the Naomi Klein event in 2016 on campus to challenge Klein on her stance and ask her if she had read Alex Epstein's book "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels" but I received a January letter from Mount Allison University banning me from campus for a year... along with a letter from the university's lawyers threatening me if I did not obey the campus banning order.

[Its good to get a little context for the readers of the blog in 2026 as to the odd history in this town]
