I missed this while in Vancouver, but Don Newman will be signing off CBC’s Politics brooooaaaaaadcast for the last time this June. This is disappointing news, since Newman is one of the best political journalists in Canada – fair to all his guests and respectful of them, but also able to ask the tough question and slice through the BS.

Looking back, I have to identify the moment I started watching Don’s show as the crossing of the line from casual political user to full-blown junkie. So, because of that, I’ll personally be sad to see him go.

I would go on with my praise, but I need to be fair with time.
