It was an honour to be on that stage. I learned a great deal from my fellow panelists.

TVO Today | The Agenda Steve Paikin John Ibbitson Absolutely agree. A great book; one of the best, most interesting political books I've ever read. An superb and captivating interview as well.

Prof. Bryan is a darn fine reporter.

From 1958 to 1968, Canada got two of its most noteworthy PMs. Steve Paikin caught up with John Ibbitson in the House of Commons to talk about his book 'The Duel: Diefenbaker, Pearson and the Making of Modern Canada.' #cdnpoli youtu.be/gJTm4ervrUg?si…

This is very fine. All of these observations are accurate (though I’m digitally clumsy). The most important? Number two, by far. If you haven’t worked in a grunge retail job, you can’t possibly know your voter/reader.

It's a great interview! You and Steve have a natural chemistry and deep love of the topic. Felt like I was eavesdropping on two friends. Watch it here:

John Ibbitson Steve Paikin TVO Today | The Agenda It was wonderful! I’ve ordered the book and can’t wait to read it. I too read Renegade in Power and never thought much of Dief (although my grandmother loved him too, just like your mum!).

A further reminder, if any were needed, that you were the best.

My conversation with Steve Paikin about The Duel is about 27 minutes in.

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed an interview as much as I did talking with Steve Paikin about The Duel. It airs tonight at 8 on TVO Today | The Agenda

For anyone seriously interested in Cdn political history, John Ibbitson’s excellent book, The Duel, is a must. Superbly written, it’s a terrifically illuminating, balanced portrayal of the life & times of L Pearson & J Diefenbaker & their legacies in shaping 🇨🇦.Historica Canada

Always believed that. Have never wavered for an instant.

Graeme Menzies I wish the people who send John Ibbitson his royalty cheques would make the same mistake.

Elon Musk Most of the interventions to increase birth rates suggested here have been tried without much impact.

The best book I’ve read on this subject is Empty Planet by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson amazon.com/Empty-Planet-G…

Hearty congratulations to colleagues Robert Fife , Steven Chase and to all of this year’s winners, at my paper and elsewhere.
