First, I thank the Canadian soldiers of the past for their service to this country! There is another group of men and women who I think never received the recognition they so very much deserve....secret agents and spies! In Canada, we have a real life hero that is rarely recognised by our school board and government, but history knows about this man they call Intrepid....Sir William Stephenson. Born in Winnipeg and becoming a multi-millionaire, Sir William Stephenson set up Camp X in Ontario, Canada to train spies who later would be flown into Nazi occupied territory. Because the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to spies, if caught, they were tortured in the worst possible ways, then executed. Ian Flemming, the author of the world's most famous fictional spy worked under Sir William Stephenson and fashioned many traits of his into his famous spy.....the fictional spy....Bond....James Bond......
