A question

Dear Ezra,

If I write a column on something reported on by, say, the Globe and Mail some three months earlier, does that qualify as a scoop too?

From the G&M September 6, 2006:

Mr. Dion was the second of four boys and a girl who grew up in Sillery, a leafy, affluent suburb, though acquaintances note that the book-filled family home was a relatively modest one.

Mr. Dion's mother, Denyse, was a real-estate agent. Born in Paris, she gave her children their dual citizenship; Léon Dion would joke he was the only one in the household to be solely Canadian.

(Mr. Dion does not have a French passport and has not voted in a French election, his staff says.)

"As far as I remember, I have always had a rather willful temperament," Mr. Dion once said in a speech.

Thanks buddy,

Jeff
