James Andrew Coyne[1] (born December 23, 1960)[2] is a Canadian columnist with The Globe and Mail and a member of the At Issue panel on CBC's The National. Previously, he has been national editor for Maclean's and a columnist with National Post.
Early life and education[edit]
Coyne was born in Ottawa, Ontario, the son of Hope Meribeth Cameron (née Stobie) and James Elliott Coyne, who was governor of the Bank of Canada from 1955 to 1961.[2][3] His paternal great-grandfather was historian and lawyer James Henry Coyne. His sister is actress Susan Coyne. He is also the cousin of constitutional lawyer Deborah Coyne, who is the mother of Pierre Trudeau's youngest child.
Coyne graduated from Kelvin High School in Winnipeg.[4] Coyne studied at the University of Manitoba where he became the editor of The Manitoban student newspaper.[5][6] He also spent two years reporting for the Winnipeg Sun.[6] In 1981, Coyne transferred to the University of Toronto'sTrinity College,[7] where his classmates included Jim Balsillie, Malcolm Gladwell, Tony Clement, Nigel Wright, Patricia Pearson, Atom Egoyan, and author and political strategist John Duffy.[8] He received a BA in economics and history from Trinity. Coyne then went to the London School of Economics, where he received his master's degree in economics.[6]
Career[edit]
After a six-year period as a Financial Post columnist from 1985 to 1991, Coyne joined The Globe and Mail's editorial board.[6] There, Coyne won two consecutive National Newspaper Awards for his work.[9] He had a regular column in the Globe between 1994 and 1996, when he joined Southam News (later CanWest News Service) as a nationally syndicated columnist.[7] Download game of thrones season 7 episode 1 kaskus.
Coyne became a columnist with the National Post – the successor to the Financial Post – when it launched in 1998.[10] Coyne left the Post in 2007 to work at Maclean's.[10]
Coyne left Maclean's in 2011 to return to the Post as a columnist.[10] In December 2014, he was appointed to the position of Editor, Editorials and Comment.[11] After years of writing a weekly Saturday column, Coyne's contribution was absent from the edition published just prior to the 2015 Canadian federal election, because the column he wanted to submit called for a vote against the Conservative Party of Canada while the Post's editorial board had endorsed the Conservatives.[12][10] While Coyne was the head of the editorial board, the decision to endorse the Conservatives was made by the newspaper's publisher Paul Godfrey.[10] On election day, Coyne announced that as a result of the paper refusing to run his election column, he was resigning as the Post's editorial page and comment editor but would remain as a columnist.[10][13]
Coyne has also been published in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, Saturday Night, the now-defunct Canadian edition of Time, and other publications.[6] Coyne has also written for the conservative magazine The Next City.[7]
Coyne has been a longtime member of the At Issue panel on CBC's The National,[5] where he appeared as early as 2012 in the day of Peter Mansbridge.[14]
In November 2019, Coyne announced that he would henceforth be employed by The Globe and Mail.[15]
Views[edit]
Coyne has said that he considers the political labels 'left' and 'right' to be 'tribes' of 'self-quarantine.'[16] He has endorsed a strong federal government,[17] more market based economic solutions,[18] and a stronger role for Canada in the War on Terror.[19] Coyne is also a proponent of proportional representation in the House of Commons of Canada[20] and believes Canada should remain a constitutional monarchy rather than become a republic.[21] He advocated for forgiveness to move on from previous mistakes when politicians get into their news for their misdeeds.[22]

Andrew Coyne Twitter
– Revelation 1:3
Last week, Canada lost a great man. More accurately, Twitter lost an active member. Andrew Coyne decided to stop using the site—but don’t worry, he’s still alive. Do you know who Andrew Coyne is? He’s a writer and a talking head. He had a lot of Twitter followers. Decide for yourself whether you care about his internet activity.
Most Canadians were unaware of the news, but The True North Times was devastated. We took action by starting a campaign to encourage Coyne’s return to Twitter. Using the hashtag #RepatriateCoyne, we tried to appeal to Coyne by photoshopping the writer’s head onto famous European monarchs’ bodies. With Coyne sworn off Twitter, we decided to use Twitter to hit him where he wasn’t. It was a brilliant plan.
Audrey Coyne Age
For his part, Coyne was surprised that so many people cared about his Twitter account. In an email to the Globe and Mail, he explained his decision to quit by saying, “Lordy. It’s just Twitter. It’s not that big a deal. Just refocusing, that’s all.” Refocusing…what could he mean by that?
Some speculate that Coyne was tired of arguing with Ezra Levant, his archenemy, on the internet. These people suggest that Coyne’s decision to leave Twitter, to refocus, was not a capitulation, but rather a strategic manoeuvre. Coyne and Levant turned heads when they sparred on Twitter. That these fights took place in cyberspace proves that they were inconsequential. They were trivial warm-ups. Perhaps quitting Twitter is Coyne’s way of letting Canada know that the final battle between good and evil will take place in a physical venue, not cyberspace. This time, the stakes will be high, and the fight will be real. Canadians should prepare.
Audrey Coyne Singing Opera
A few years ago, we bore witness to the Thrilla on the Hilla, during which the media party’s boy-Saint Justin Trudeau lay waste to the alleged criminal, Patrick Brazeau. We must assume that this too was a warm-up, a sign of bigger things to come. Today, the stage is set for Coyne, unchained, to challenge Levant, foot-in-mouth, to Canada’s next great celebrity boxing match. It will be dirty. It will be haughty. It will be worth the price of admission. Pray to your almighty that you might be lucky enough to watch it in person.
