Is the source of her LLD honourary? Is this true to Wikipedia conventions?
What sort of leukemia did she have? I heard it was chronic leukemia, but does anyone know if it was CML or CLL? Dylan Slade 00:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks
Whoever added the comment regarding Barbara Frum's American fans, who were also crushed by her death - thank you for being inclusive. I'm American and still remember watching the Journal the night she died. Like Peter Jennings, her loss was felt beyond mere borders. 98.196.202.92 04:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stamford Collegiate
Stamford Collegiate Secondary School named their Tech wing after her. The Barbara Frum Tech Wing or something along those lines. It's been a year and a half since I last entered the school, seeing as I graduated, but it's been the Barbara Frum tech wing since I began school there back in 2000. 69.156.176.17 (talk) 04:22, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Peacock Terms
Please identify peacock terms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SaskatchewanSenator (talk • contribs) 06:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- "tough, incisive and well-informed interviewer" "one of CBC Radio's most popular and enduring programs (it still airs today, in virtually the same format" "Frum's interviews were the show's centrepiece, and made it one of Canadian television's most popular programs." "it was in fact one of the highest-rated individual programs in Canadian television history." (that's been tagged for "citation needed" since October 2007} "memorable editorial cartoon". This is still rather a hagiography for a newsreader. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- "memorable editorial cartoon" is a peacock term. "Popular" is often a peacock term, but with something like a TV show where popularity is measured by ratings, it's okay to use it. All of these statements are missing sources, which is a problem, but it's a different problem.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 18:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Are there any peacock terms left?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 23:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
