Evan Solomon (born April 20, 1968) is a Canadian writer, magazine publisher and radio-television journalist, who formerly hosted the nightly series Power & Politics on CBC News Network[2] and CBC Radio One's weekly political affairs series The House.[3]
Life and career
Solomon was born in Toronto, Ontario, the son of Virgnia, an urban planner, and Carl Solomon, a lawyer.[4] He graduated from high school at Crescent School in Toronto, Ontario. He then graduated from McGill University in English literature and religious studies.
In 1992, Solomon co-founded Shift with Andrew Heintzman. Originally an arts and culture magazine, Shift evolved to focus particularly on technology and Internet culture. Solomon left the magazine in 1999 to promote his first novel, Crossing the Distance. Solomon has also worked as a broadcaster, hosting the series The Changemakers, FutureWorld and Hot Type for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In 2004, Solomon worked as co-editor, with Heintzman, on Fueling the Future: How the Battle Over Energy is Changing Everything. He was the co-anchor with Carole MacNeil of CBC News: Sunday and CBC News: Sunday Night from 2004 to 2009, and joined CBC News Network in the fall.[5]
On June 9, 2015, Solomon was fired from CBC for allegedly taking secret commissions for brokering art sales of items owned by his friend and art collector Bruce Bailey to people he was connected to through his CBC position.[6]
In August 2015, Sirius XM Canada announced that it had hired Solomon to host a political talk show, Everything Is Political, on its Canada Talks channel. The series will cover the 2015 election. Solomon is also writing a column for Maclean's magazine for the duration of the election campaign.[7]
Solomon is married to Tammy Quinn. The couple has two children.[8][9]
