Indeed, the Hamilton-raised (and Hamilton-proud) broadcaster was selected to moderate four federal and five Ontario provincial leaders’ debates during that time.
Paikin, who turned 65 earlier this month and will remain at Ontario’s publicly funded English-language educational media company in a reduced capacity, spoke to The Globe and Mail in the middle of The Agenda’s final week of shows.
Kathy mortified the entire roster of guests when in an appearance on Paikin’s show she flatly stated that no she could not be bothered to watch Obama’s inauguration as if it were some sort of sacred progressive rite.
Wish I had that clip.
