Barbara Budd and Mary Lou Findlay[edit]

Am I wrong to add Barbara Budd and Mary Lou Findlay to this list? Apologies if I'm just an ignorant American, but many of the most thrilling news stories ever I've heard have been spoken into a microphone by those talented Canadian women. But are they considered just some kind of fluff in Canada, and not real journalists? Barbara and Mary Lou were among my first radio ambassadors from your wonderful country, when I was a kid listening painstakingly to RCI via shortwave (I climbed trees to hang antenna wire between them, selecting a different tree when I figured I could aim my antenna nearer the transmitter.)

The Canada that As It Happens educated me about, with their famous telephone interviews, led me to wonder, study, and ultimately fall in love with Canada. I love my own Kentucky too, but Barbara and Mary Lou's presentation of the world was universalizing in its influence. It was easy to see that some organizer they interviewed for the Cranberry Festival in Bala was exactly analogous to the woman who organizes "Tater [Potato] Days" in Kentucky's own Marshall County. That's what I mean by a universalizing influence.

Oh, also, sometimes, during the intro to As It Happens, the two of them would sing. That's something you don't see Walter Cronkite or Katie Couric do very often, at least not nowadays.

Canadians don't realize how much the world would benefit if everyone in the world were like them, is this foreigner's opinion.

O Canada, this American stands ever on guard for thee. And this American often wishes we could be a better neighbor to you. Alan Canon (talk) 08:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strangely, of the two you've propsed, only Barbara Budd has endured, despite not being a journalist. She is only an annoucer on As It Happens, not an interviewer. The same criticism applies to many other people on the list, like George Stroumboulopoulos, Evan Solomon, or R. H. Thomson, none of whom I would consider journalists.

Margaret Evans[edit]

The letter E is totally unrepresented, thus we are missing Margaret Evans, one of CBC's incredible cohort of fearless female foreign correspondents, who have been risking their lives around the world for the last several decades to bring news reports from sites of mayhem and chaos. (This week it seems Adrienne Arseneault, who was finally safe at a desk job hosting the National, is out ducking bullets in Bakhmut, in bunkers with a flak jacket, covering the anniversary of Czar Vladimir the Last's terminal blunder in Ukraine). 2001:56A:F0E9:9B00:FC52:5E9F:2009:4BAA (talk) 10:01, 26 February 2023 (UTC) JustSomeWikiReader[reply]
