Bernard St-Laurent is a retired Canadian journalist and radio personality, best known as a longtime host of programming on CBC Radio.[1]
Background
Originally from Compton, Quebec,[2] 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.[2]
Louis St. Laurent, a former prime minister of Canada, is his great uncle.[3] 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.[3]
CBC
He joined the CBC in 1981, initially continuing as a national reporter on Quebec politics.[2]
He left CBC between 1987 and 1991 for various jobs at the Montreal Daily News (columnist, city editor, 1988–1989),[4][5] MétéoMedia (executive producer, 1989–1990) and the Gazette in Montreal (columnist, 1990–1991).[6]
After rejoining the CBC in 1991, he continued to work as a political analyst for both the English and French services,[2] 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]
