His political coverage is unparalleled, having reported on every federal election since 1972 and anchoring all ten since 1984. Over his career, he conducted nearly 15,000 interviews, engaging with Canadian and global leaders.
Beyond journalism, Mansbridge is a bestselling author with four books to his name: Mansbridge: One on One, Extraordinary Canadians: Stories from the Heart of Our Nation, Off the Record, and How Canada Works. He has also contributed to significant publications like The 100 Photos That Changed Canada, Canada’s Great War Album, and 100 Days That Changed Canada.
