Bernard St-Laurent (broadcaster)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernard St-Laurent is a Canadian retired journalist and radio personality, best known as a longtime host of programming on CBC Radio.[1] In 2012, he was given the Award of Excellence – Promotion of Linguistic Duality by the Commissioner of official languages Graham Fraser for having "dedicated his life to keeping English-speaking Canadians informed of what's happening in the other official language".[2]

Background

Originally from Compton, Quebec,[3] he began his career as a journalist with the Sherbrooke Record before joining CJAD in Montreal in 1976 as a political reporter covering the National Assembly of Quebec.[3]

Louis St. Laurent, a former prime minister of Canada, is his great uncle.[4] He has attributed his passion for politics and journalism to the childhood exposure he had to that world, particularly when Louis St. Laurent visited his family with media always in tow.[4]

CBC

He joined the CBC in 1981, initially continuing as a national reporter on Quebec politics.[3]

He left CBC between 1987 and 1991 for various jobs at the Montreal Daily News (columnist, city editor, 1988–1989),[5][6] MétéoMedia (executive producer, 1989–1990) and the Gazette in Montreal (columnist, 1990–1991).[7]

After rejoining the CBC in 1991, he continued to work as a political analyst for both the English and French services,[3] and served as host of various programs, including the Quebec edition of Radio Noon, Montreal's local afternoon program Homerun and C'est la vie, a national radio program which he created in 1998.[1] He was also a guest host of numerous other programs on the network, including The Current, Sounds Like Canada, As It Happens, The House and Cross Country Checkup.[1]

He retired from the CBC in 2015.[1]
