Rex Murphy
Canadian Commentator & Author, Primarily on Canadian Political and Social Matters
Canadians are treated to weekly commentary from Rex Murphy on CBC’s The National along with his Saturday column in the National Post. He’s also acted as an editorial contributor to CBC Radio’s “Definitely Not the Opera”. For over 20 years he was the host and moderator of CBC Radio’s “Cross Country Checkup”. The show brought over 1 million listeners and at times 15,000 callers wanting to join in discussions. As a keynote speaker Murphy radiates intelligence and trustworthiness. He’s been described as “inimitable.” His endearing style brings forth a sarcastic intellect and deep insight into issues affecting individuals and businesses.
Audiences can expect to be simultaneously informed and entertained by Murphy’s provocative commentary. He knows what makes Canadians tick, and what drives our political and social affairs. Murphy makes us important and reminds us we have culture beyond hockey. His thought-provoking, sometimes stinging commentary and original insights are delivered through a vocabulary to make Webster’s consider updating.
A Rhodes Scholar, Murphy was born and raised in St. John’s, Nfld., where he graduated from Memorial University. He went to Oxford University, along with former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Murphy later ran twice in provincial elections and lost both times. Maybe he was too honest?
