As an American living in a border city close to Windsor Ont., I would occasionally see Mr. Mansbridge between overtime periods of NHL playoff games. What a great communicator he appeared to be. You were lucky to have him all of those years! Best of luck Mr. Mansbridge!
He was and is one of the best broadcaster in canadian tv networks, it was pleasure watching him every night get the latest news. Really humble guy and not even said one word about him and said everything about his team , god bless peter and can't wait to see u again on tv screen with another great show
As a Brazilian-Canadian journalist, I had the incredible honor to find Peter on TV when I first arrived here as an immigrant. No one has ever inspired me so much in my career. Thank you Peter for what you´ve done for our profession.
Thank you for the years of honest news, thank you for setting a high standard, thank you for all the years. I wish you all the best Mr. Mansbridge. When my time came I hoped it would be you to take me to task. Again thanks for all the years Sir.
thank you Mr.mansbridge for your dedication passion in brining our stories from coast to coast your truly an icon and one oy my favorite news anchors. Youve given me hope strength the way you presented our stories always made them special god bless you wish you continued success happiness and good health .
Very surprised at the nasty comments, it seems the norm now to bring people down. I always thought he was the best of Canadian TV, I think I will continue to do so.
Mauricio MP I am apolitical. As a journalist, he is supposed to be neutral. The big lie is that he had to repeatedly defend his neutrality on air. For that reason alone he can not claim to be neutral. But that is not the reason I loathe him. His broadcasts, are disabled far more often than most, because he embeds his politics in what should be objective. Learn the language--What does "journalists who do not spouse your political views." mean? Does "spouse" mean you think he should be married to my ideas? LOL
to all the lovely people on here with the good riddances - watch CNN - move to the US, whatever - you really do not grasp how lucky you are to be in Canada
I have nothing but respect for Mr. Peter Mansbridge, particularly in contrast to the circus/chaos going on south of the 49th with various news agencies' rhetoric and diatribes. We could always count on Peter to give it to us straight; no BS. He's a true gentleman and a damn proud Canadian.
It is apparent you didn't`t watch Peter as Trump won the election it was as if he was commentator at a funeral. He and CBC ,CNN,MSNBC all fish in the same barrel, made up news isn`t news it`s made up.
@@stooner1000 A word that always comes up with mansbrige is honesty. He was bias paid shrill, who had zero integrity at the end of his career. Unbearable!!! Just run cover for a crooked govt who is wasting tax dollars on this crooked bias journalist. An elitist journalist who thinks we should pay tax dollars to him so he can tell us how great he is and how worthless we are, the one who pay his wages.
200 thumbs up versus around 40 haters. That amounts to a popularity of 75%. Give me another name in journalism who has achieved that. Haters, radical neocons are partying his depart, the only pleasure they ever had in their empty, dead end existence.
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. Oscar Wilde This is another thing to celebrate on Canada's 150th. Now I can stop writing CBC asking for your resignation. Happy Canada Day to one and all!

THIS.IS.CANADA.the Rockies,wheat fields, Parliament Hill,poutine, Atlantic seafood,the Loonie,beaver,moose and........Peter Mansbridge.
And Canada will be better now he is gone. He is no Gzoski. Ha! Can't hold a candle to Barbara Frum. He would fart, and blow his own candle out.

Daddy Mansbridge never lied
Truly the end of an era. A great broadcaster and journalist.
Very surprised at the nasty comments, it seems the norm now to bring people down. I always thought he was the best of Canadian TV, I think I will continue to do so.
Don't be surprised. Most of the comment sections for Mansbridge are disabled.
Because of hate rethoric always aimed at journalists who do not share your political views.

reading your too-much-time-on-your-hands comments, prove you are a lying hating pucktard
Chuck Wu--Cop a lexicon, you brainless poltoon.
I was gone for awhile I give my best regards to you Peter.

Good luck Mr Manbridge you will be missed....
Yup, like a stone in your shoe.
Peter Mansbridge was the perfect host of CBC National.
Today... The National: a bunch of hand waving unprofessional wannabe's.
Time has come... Saint Mary is an event.
I was thinking peter mansbridge at Scotia Square in Halifax on Christmas Eve at the food court. I got rid of my Canadian Tire Money.
