MONTREAL—Raymond Brisebois’s 16-year-old daughter was struck and killed by a train in 2012 but he was never able to tell her one last time he loved her because he kept putting off the phone call. “Today is yesterday’s tomorrow,” he told The Canadian Press, referring to the title of a speech that brought him to the final stages of the Toastmasters International speaking competition in Washington, D.C.Brisebois, 53, didn’t make it to Saturday’s finals but the francophone Quebecer said he was satisfied he was able to succeed and compete — in English. Moreover, he said he was also proud to spread his message that one should not wait until tomorrow to do what can be done today. “I learned the hard way,” he said in an interview.
