Sue Johanson, Canada’s Favourite Sex Educator, Dead At 93
etcanada.comSue Johanson, Canada’s most beloved and celebrated sex educator, has died. She was 93. Johanson rose to fame first in Canada with her call-in radio and television programs, both titled Sunday Night Sex Show.
A U.S. spinoff followed, called Talk Sex With Sue Johanson. According to reports, Johanson died in a long-term care facility in Thornhill, Ont., surrounded by family.
