I can’t believe my friend & colleague Peter Leo is gone. He died today, on this, his 64th birthday. Suddenly & alone. From an embolism, not the virus. Peter spent more than 30 years at CBC, most of them at @cbcradio. If you’ve listened to a special over the past 15+ years 1/

A giant @cbcradio has died. Peter Leo was a force who helped direct how the national and international news was covered and helped shape so many people’s careers, was always showing you how to produce better, accurate news. Thankful to have known him + shared many a-laugh w/him.

Gutted by the news that Peter Leo died today. This is from when I first worked with him on @CBCTheHouse doing the budget special. He then often vetted my scripts for @CBCWorldReport, always with patience and kindness (even when they needed WORK)
