I always wondered whether US viewers of SCTV ever wondered why Joe Flaherty's news anchor character was named "Floyd Robertson" (and Count Floyd!)! RIP Lloyd. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Former CTV News chief anchor Lloyd Robertson dies at 92

Canadian journalist Lloyd Robertson, who covered everything from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the 9/11 terrorist attacks during 35 years as chief anchor of CTV National News, has died. He was 92.

Serious question: If Jeanine Pirro returns to her Fox gig, newly equipped with first-hand knowledge of what it's like inside the Trump shit show, will it affect her on-air opinions in any way? And why is the answer "No fucking chance?"

Received this bizarre email out of the blue yesterday from National Post columnist Adam Zivo gloating over my former colleague's layoff notice I'd like to thank Postmedia for looking into it and issuing this statement clarifying Zivo is expected to uphold professional standards for employee conduct

Congratulations Excellent work PressProgress has been put in a pretty dire financial situation because of a major lawsuit, so while this wasn't exactly a total surprise for me, I didn't think it would come to this so soon. 4:10 PM • Jul 27, 2026 Adam Zivo | B.A. M.P.P.
