\u201cI join Canadians in mourning the loss of an icon \u2013 longtime journalist and news anchor Lloyd Robertson.<\/p>\n
For more than six decades, Lloyd Robertson helped Canadians make sense of the world. He was a familiar face in our living rooms, a reassuring voice in moments of uncertainty, and a calm and steady presence through the moments that shaped our nation.<\/p>\n
He was a charismatic and trusted storyteller who never stopped short of the facts. In doing so, he helped safeguard a free and vigorous Fourth Estate. His work was honoured many times over, including an appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada, a place on Canada\u2019s Walk of Fame, and the Canadian Journalism Foundation\u2019s Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/p>\n
I offer my deepest condolences to Mr. Robertson\u2019s loved ones. Like many others, I will remember him for his warmth, integrity, and his nightly sign-off: \u2018And that\u2019s the kind of day it\u2019s been.\u2019 Canada is fortunate that Lloyd Robertson guided us through so many days. He will be deeply missed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
