Jeanne Beker tie shops for Harper
Fashion Television host Jeanne Beker was in Ottawa with her mother for the annual Holocaust memorial service on the Hill. The night before, Beker went to 24 Sussex for dinner hosted by Laureen Harper. It was the PM’s birthday that day, but he had already headed to Calgary for business so was not at the dinner. Nevertheless, Beker ran to Holt Renfrew and got him a Salvatore Ferragamo tie with tiny dragonflies on it.

Fashion Television host Jeanne Beker was in Ottawa with her mother for the annual Holocaust memorial service on the Hill. The night before, Beker went to 24 Sussex for dinner hosted by Laureen Harper. It was the PM’s birthday that day, but he had already headed to Calgary for business so was not at the dinner. Nevertheless, Beker ran to Holt Renfrew and got him a Salvatore Ferragamo tie with tiny dragonflies on it.
The birthday card she included showed a cat dressed as a police officer that read, “Do you know how fast you were going over that hill?”

Bronia’s entire family was suffocated when the Nazis blocked the airways to their hiding place. Miraculously, she was found alive among the bodies and revived by a doctor.
