Very sad news. A huge loss for the journalism world and Canada. Christie was tough as nails and independent minded. Great role model. “Dead at 68: Christie Blatchford was a tenacious voice for victims, a thorn to the smugly comfortable” nationalpost.com/wcm/c346f224-8… #RIP #cdnmedia
Christie’s Afghanistan reporting was phenomenal. She was as hard as any infantry soldier, incredibly courageous and took massive risks to tell the story of Canadians at war. Through it all she had humour, compassion, cutting wit and connected with the troops like no one else.
For women like me who cover security and defence didn’t just blaze a trail, she burned the foliage down and paved one. Thank you Christie. You will be so missed.
