You can take the Cohen out of Cape Breton, but not the Cape Breton out of this B.C. Crown prosecutor
An Article Published in the Cape Breton Post about Sanford Cohen
SYDNEY — When you talk to Sanford Cohen on the phone, you pick up on his warmth and kindness immediately.
He greets me with enthusiasm, despite the fact that I’m a stranger he’s neither met nor spoken to before. I expected this, though, because everyone who knows him tells me about his kindness.
When I tell the former Cape Bretoner that I’m a reporter with the Cape Breton Post looking to learn more about his life, he immediately launches into a story about how he used to deliver the Post when he was 13 or 14.
Though it was a minor stint compared to his days as a Crown prosecutor in B.C. provincial court, he talks about it as though it was the most important job he ever had.
