I am saddened to hear the GREAT journalist, pundit and broadcaster Rex Murphy passed away yesterday after losing his battle with cancer. He was working up to the end. His last piece made the front page of The National Post the day before he passed. Losing his celebrated voice and sharp wit is a tragedy. Rest In Peace, Rex.
