Connie Walker is heading to New York to join the team at Gimlet Media.
Today, I've been reminded of how many talented, generous & kind people I've gotten to work with at CBC over the last 19 yrs. Thanks to you all for reaching out & wishing me well on my next adventure. Your support means so much. I'm excited about next steps (more on that later)…

Personal news: Excited to announce that after 9 years, my last show as host of @CTV_PowerPlay will be Dec. 20. Reasons? More writing, less scripting; More travelling, less commuting. More Florida, less snow. It's been a privilege to do this job. #cdnpoli.
