George Stroumboulopoulos, NYT journalist, dairy CEO among 78 named to Order of Canada
When George Stroumboulopoulos thinks back on his TV career, it's his time hosting The NewMusic in the early 2000s that resonates most.
Many Canadians remember how the gregarious host introduced them to bands and musicians on the MuchMusic program, and those years are part of the reason he is now being appointed to the Order of Canada.
"It was this golden era of television that I don't think could ever be created again," he told The Canadian Press in an interview.
Foreign interference inquiry requests postponement of first report to May
A federal inquiry into foreign interference has asked to delay its first report by about two months in order to allow sufficient time for a public process and hearings on the issues.
Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue said in a press release Friday the requested postponement until May 3 is aimed at giving "meaning and purpose" to preliminary hearings, and to allow more time to maximize transparency.
Ensuring classified information is put into a form that can be released to the public is a long and complicated process, she added.
