Chantal St-Cyr Hébert is one of Canada's most talented journalists and political columnists. Working equally well in English and in French, she offers a particularly acute view of events, shedding light on our country's two solitudes. She covers national politics for the Toronto Star, Le Devoir and L'Actualité, and contributes to both television and radio as a commentator on various newscasts and current affairs programs. A leading member of Canada's most-watched political panel, "At Issue," she also advances debate as a lecturer in Canadian universities.
