March 19, 2014March 18, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

 Part Two: Was My Old Friend Really a Political Assassin? Bertil Wedin tells me later “my idea was to shoot the ones who came close to the building and take their automatic weapons so we could arm ourselves and fight back. We could have succeeded if we’d managed to get some of their guns… But […]

The Best Anchorman in Canada

January 1, 2014March 3, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

If you’re not planning anything of overwhelming importance this evening I invite you to screen a newish, different, pioneering and quite fascinating one-hour news program. It’s called Kevin Newman Live and it’s on the CTV News Channel weekdays at 9.00 p.m. Already it’s a lot better than the big three national TV news English language […]

Conrad and RoFo: A Meeting of Outraged Minds

December 11, 2013March 3, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

There they sit facing each other in Toronto City Hall — two very rich men of much more than considerable girth, strangely similar, radiating mutual admiration, screw-you arrogance and otherworldly chutzpah. On one side, Baron Black of Crossharbour, Member of the Privy Council of Canada, Member of the Order of Canada, Member of the Order […]

Was Rob Ford Really Toronto’s Watergate?

December 2, 2013March 4, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

What, you may well ask, is left to say about Robert Bruce Ford, sixty-fourth and current mayor of the city of Toronto? I start Ford columns in the past.

Who Will Restore the CBC to its Former Glory?

November 18, 2013March 4, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

Why Citizen Bloggers Aren’t Journalists

October 4, 2013March 4, 2015 Tim Knight 0 comments

Seems I’ve suddenly become a journalism guru to whom young people with stars in their eyes and All The President’s Men in their futures flock for wisdom.
