Tonight we celebrate an incredible writer, John Ward, who is departing @CdnPress after a mere 48 years. He taught me, and many others, to be more careful and thoughtful journalists. Please join me in saluting his commitment to the wire and the written word.

Je quitte Radio-Canada pour découvrir de nouveaux horizons. Comprendre, analyser, influencer notre société, mais sous de nouveaux cieux. Le journalisme est un des plus beaux métiers du monde mais il ne doit pas devenir une cage dorée, ce serait trahir l’idéal qui l’anime.
