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.

…members of Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. But after 13 years as Canada correspondent for The Economist, I've decided it's time for a change. My biggest thanks go to all the people who took time to share their knowledge and stories, and trusted me to do the right thing…
