    It may have seemed, with the headline-grabbing antics of Ashley MacIsaac, that gifted Cape Breton fiddlers had to have a dark side. But MacMaster is doing just fine as the embodiment of sweetness and light.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on March 6, 2000

    Nathan Fielder

    Nathan Joseph Fielder, comedian, actor, writer, director, producer (born 12 May 1983 in Vancouver, BC). Nathan Fielder is best known for his offbeat, deadpan and awkward comedic style, which he honed on the CBC news parody program This Hour Has 22 Minutes. His regular segment on that series, a consumer report parody called “Nathan On Your Side,” formed the basis of his award-winning Comedy Central series Nathan for You (2013–17). Fielder followed that with the HBO series The Rehearsal (2022) and the Showtime series The Curse (2022–23), both of which experiment with form and push the boundaries of television comedy. Named the Breakout Comedy Star of the Year by Just for Laughs in 2014, Fielder has won a Canadian Comedy Award, a Writers Guild of America Award and a Film Independent Spirit Award.

    Nathan Phillips

    Nathan Phillips, QC, lawyer, politician, mayor of Toronto 1955–62 (born 7 November 1892 in Brockville, ON; died 7 January 1976 in Toronto, ON). Known affectionately as “the mayor of all the people,” Nathan Phillips was Toronto’s first Jewish mayor. His mayoralty marked a turning point in the city’s history as it transitioned from a Protestant enclave to a multicultural metropolis. He was influential in demolishing old buildings and neighbourhoods to create a more modern cityscape. He was also a key figure behind the innovatively designed New City Hall and the large public space in front of it, which was named Nathan Phillips Square in his honour.
