Former Prince Edward Island Progressive Conservative MP and parliamentary secretary Heath Macquarrie — before 1957 he was a history professor at St. Dunstan's (now the University of Prince Edward Island) – could make history live.  I will never forget an afternoon in 1960 when, over rum and cokes, he kept me wide-eyed with his sweep of World War I and Canada's role at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.  Heath said that, two years later, in 1919, at the Versailles' Peace Talks, Prime Minister Robert Borden told the British there would be no back seat for Canada at the peace table when she had a front-row seat at Vimy Ridge.
