I always read the last page first in Maclean’s because of Dr. Foth. Loved his turn of phrase and wit. He had a great career. RIP Allan Fotheringham. Titan of Canadian journalism, dead at 87

RIP #DrFoth – Sad to hear of the passing of Allan Fotheringham. Among his clever phrases was, “The Excited States of America.” – GOLDSTEIN: ‘Dr. Foth’ was a force in Canadian journalism

Finally learn the author of “the full Nanaimo”, thanks @tomhawthorn. But, I always thought the “full Nanaimo” was just the white shoes/white belt combo (no tie). A half-Nanaimo was when one of the items was worn. RIP Allan Fotheringham pic.twitter.com/hYXNNrIAIB

When I was 12 or 13, my stepdad took me to the Ottawa Press Club to hear Allan Fotheringham; I wanted to be a journalist, and I loved his books. Kudos to the elderly scotch-swilling journalists who let me dominate the Q and A & to “Dr. Foth,” who was lovely, in a unique way. #RIP

RIP Allan Fotheringham. Irreplaceable Canadian, irrepressible columnist, unquenchable bon viveur. You were devoted to my wife’s family & gave a terrific speech at our wedding, which, wasting nothing, you then filed on the back page of Macleans.

Allan Fotheringham, RIP. The legendary “Dr. Foth” was a man of fine writing and dry wit. We’ve now lost two great Canadian columnists in four days. (Richard Gwyn passed away on Aug. 15.)

Many Canadians can fondly remember rushing to the back page of Maclean’s to read Allan Fotheringham’s latest. Years later, the unique wit of “Dr. Foth” remains without equal.
Condolences to the family and loved ones of this great Canadian.— Andrea Horwath (@AndreaHorwath) August 19, 2020

Sorry to hear of the passing of writer and columnist Allan Fotheringham at 87. He was so effective yet gentle at targeting those he took issue with, that I suspect they mostly felt honored to be on the receiving end of his words.

Allan Fotheringham was one of the first speakers on our roster almost 50 years ago. I concur with @macleans; ‘bon mots, bon vivant & the best-known pundit in the land’. He was always kind and generous to me & good fun! Condolences. #cdnpoli @NSB_Speakers pic.twitter.com/Ha9RxxeEpU

When I heard Allan Fotheringham had died, this was the first thing that came to mind from this column on the Prairie city in 1976.
“Most civilized people spend their lives flying over Winnipeg on their way to somewhere important.”
Loved and loathed but never dull.

Allan Fotheringham and Richard Gwyn – two wonderful journalists and writers. They left their mark on generations of reporters. Gone but not forgotten.

Allan Fotheringham’s column on the back page of Maclean’s was my real introduction to political writing. He was larger than life and an example of what could be done with the written word. A true giant of the craft

Allan Fotheringham was loved, revered and loathed but never ignored | The Maclean’s icon who shook Canadian politics and media with a blast of post-’60s insouciance has died. He defined acerbic wit, but couldn’t hide how deeply he cared about his country?— Blanche Horst (@HobanGirl) August 20, 2020

Allan Fotheringham, RIP 1932-2020.
Spent an evening with him over dinner once. He was charming, gracious, and entertaining. Knew a LOT about Churchill.
His book “Birds of a Feather” is a must for anyone who wants to understand the politician/press gallery relationship.— John Parker (@johnparkerex) August 20, 2020
Allan Fotheringham always had a twinkle in his eye. He was that rarest of writers who could make you laugh out loud. Rest in peace with your puckish grin, Foth. You brought us joy. You were great.

Oh man, R.I.P. Allan Fotheringham. I used to read his editorials at the end of issues of Maclean’s Magazine for a long time. I appreciated his wisdom and wit.
My condolences.

Allan Fotheringham, iconic Canadian journist, dead at 87.He was widely known by the nickname Dr. Foth and styled himself as, “Always controversial.. never at a loss for words.”
IMO he was driven by the courage of his convictions.
