110 years ago today, more than 800 Newfoundlanders went into battle at Beaumont-Hamel. More than 700 were killed, wounded, or went missing in a single day. Despite their horrific losses, the Newfoundland Regiment fought in World War I until 1918.
Today, as we celebrate the greatest country on Earth, we remember all those who served and sacrificed so that we could live in freedom and peace.
Happy Father’s Day to all. Delighted to say that the Atlantic Journalism Awards presented the “Mike Critch Excellence in Crime Reporting Award” last night. Big congrats to Ryan Cooke and Katie Breen of CBC NL who won the gold award for their Columbia-Sheshatshiu cocaine story. Details were not scanty. Global Halifax’s Ella MacDonald took silver and the Telegram’s Tara Bradbury won bronze. Such excellent reporting being recognized in dad’s honour is a lovely Father’s Day gift, indeed.
My buddy Ritche Perez has been my friend forever. Now he is a character in @SonOfACritchTV! Great laugh having a peek at our billboard in St. John’s today!
Best wishes to @RobertFife. A great journalist who was always kind to the comedian trying to cover events. What a legacy. Can’t wait to read whatever comes next.
Book Review: Sorry, Not Sorry by Mark Critch
A very timely and funny book about Canada, its culture, history, and the current relationship with the United States.
Highly recommend!
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.
Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.
“From Day One, I knew how I wanted the show to end. It ends like the book, after high school, so this was always the plan. To get to the finish line and to get to walk away the way you want to is rare," says Mark Critch about end of @SonOfACritchTV https://t.co/0uxyPN2Irg
