Robert Fife, Ottawa Bureau Chief at The Globe and Mail, is retiring at the end of this month.
Mr. Fife has run the Ottawa bureau for the past decade, and also served as parliamentary bureau chief for CTV National News, as well as the National Post. Along the way, the 71 year old has mentored scores of younger reporters, encouraging all of them to pursue public-service journalism and to hold decision-makers to account.
Some of Mr. Fife’s most consequential political stories included his reporting on the SNC-Lavalin affair under the Trudeau government, which led to the resignation of cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, as well as his reporting on allegations of foreign interference, including on claims China attempted to influence the 2021 federal election.
On Thursday, May 14 at 11 a.m., Mr. Fife will answer reader questions about everything from his storied career to the investigations he’s worked on to what the future holds for political journalism in Canada. Submit your questions for him in the box below.
