In the 1930's and 40's George was Canada's first media mogul who was hugely influential with politicians, in the sports nworld, and in publishing with 3 major Toronto newspapers in his portfolio. Yet you've probably never heard of George. He had a dark secret and quickly faded from public memory following his death at the early age of 47.
