Tonight on Minutes I head to the border to speak with Governor Janet Mills of Maine. We talk about how the Trade War is affecting her state, how she wants Canadians back and about the time she told Trump ‘I’ll see you in court!”

Son of a Critch has its final season premiere tonight at 8:30 p.m. - 9 p.m. NL. It was a great pleasure to speak with March Critch, both his on-screen and actual families and Critch friend and fan Justin Trudeau for this feature on his many childhoods, real and imagined.

Watching Son of a Critch while eating Nanaimo bars. Peak Canadian tonight.

Love the pics from Johnny CY Lam of the rosebush-covered ruins of Mark Critch’s childhood home accompanying my piece on the Newfoundland comedian and the end of Son of a Critch. Here’s an end-of-weekend gift link to the digital version. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e60f469...

Mark Critch’s many childhoods come to an end… Enjoyed getting to know the 22 Minutes star and his families, on screen and off, ahead of Son of a Critch’s final season this fall on CBC. (His older brother is a hoot.) www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

Here’s the trailer for season five of Son of a Critch!! deadline.com/2026/08/son-...

Happy Father’s Day to all. Delighted to say that the Atlantic Journalism Awards presented the “Mike Critch Excellence in Crime Reporting Award” last night. Big congrats to Ryan Cooke and Katie Breen of CBC NL who won the gold award for their Columbia-Sheshatshiu cocaine story.

We’ve started filming Season 5 of Son of a Critch.  We’re heading back to 1992 - the year I graduated high school and since it’s the last year of high school, it will also be our final chapter. Class dismissed,  Mark Critch

Today (Apr 1) in #NLMusicHistory... In 1977, St. John's radio station VOCM advertised in the Daily News that "VOCM has a Juno Award"! They received the award in 1973, and it was accepted by DJ Johnny Murphy! @vocmnews.bsky.social @markcritch.bsky.social

Just spent an incredible week in Nuuk, Greenland. Like us Canadians, the people there do not want to become the 51st State. I can’t say enough about the folks there. Strong, determined, resiliant.

Very honoured to have my book, Sorry Not Sorry, make the Hill Times list of 100 Best Books of the year

“When it comes to being a traitor, you could say this guy is ‘The Great One.’” A few prominent Canadians have been eager to kiss the ring when it comes to Donald Trump. But for author and comedian Mark Critch, one name rises above the rest: Wayne Gretzky. thewalrus.ca/kevin-oleary-way...

Mark Critch nails it!

Kevin O’Leary, Danielle Smith, and Wayne Gretzky have all flown to Mar-a-Lago to cozy up to Donald Trump, leaving Canadians questioning their loyalty. @markcritch.bsky.social puts it plainly: “If you don’t like being called a traitor, maybe stop acting like one.” thewalrus.ca/kevin-oleary-way...

Thanks for making ‘Sorry, Not Sorry’ a national bestseller in its first week! www.thestar.com/entertainmen...

Thanks @usweeklymag.bsky.social for choosing Son of a Critch as number 4 in their 19 Must-Watch Netflix Sitcoms to Stream Right Now (August 2025) | Us Weekly www.usmagazine.com/entertainmen...

One of the greatest "new" radio-themed shows is Son of a Critch. It's about St. John's AM station VOCM in the late 80's told from the perspective of the newsman's kid (Mark Critch was a real-life Les Nesman). Great soundtrack and Malcolm McDowell has the performance of his life as the grandpa.

Very underrated show that now seems to be rated. 👍

Very happy to announce that Son of a Critch is a Top Ten comedy on @netflix.com in the USA. Big thanks to all our American neighbours for coming over to the Critch house

With Sullivan’s Crossing landing July 8 too, it’s going to be an Atlantic Canada summer on Netflix US.
