Globe and Mail, Kenneth Thomson: Lie Less Boeing 777 (Update 24)

FP Publications and The Globe and Mail were sold in 1980 to The Thomson Corporation, a company run by the family of Kenneth Thomson.

The predecessor to The Globe and Mail was The Globe, founded in 1844 by Scottish immigrantGeorge Brown

George Brown (November 29, 1818 – May 9, 1880) 

George Bennett (died 23 July 1880) was charged with the murder of George Brown, one of the Fathers of Confederation. He was convicted of this crime and hanged in Toronto, Ontario.
An armed confrontation with the editor ensued on 24 March 1880. This resulted in a bullet wound which became infected and led to Brown's death.

He was portrayed by Peter Outerbridge in the 2011 CBC Television film John A.: Birth of a Country.

Well, I know a Rob MagGregor (author and blogger re Synchrosecrets) that I've had a run in with.  Note from Roy's  wiki page:
 He has a longstanding interest in the life of Tom Thomson, and has written both a novel and a biography exploring the artist's life and mysterious death.[2]
Note the name Tom Thomson... the etymology of which is "twin twin son"... definitely an inner twin calling card.
