Brother Andre recognized as St. Andre -- the cult of saints continues in contemporary Canada

The pope canonized a prominent 20th century Montreal religious figure this month.  My experience is that outside of Montreal Andre is no longer that well known.  But notice in this Globe and Mail report that the Canadian prime minister and the Quebec premier both showed up; notice also the size of the "oratory" (church for praying, mainly in this case to St. Joseph).
