Anthony Germain is a Canadian retired journalist, best known for his work with CBC Radio.[1]
Journalism
A graduate of the journalism program at the University of Western Ontario,[1] Germain spent 32 years as a journalist and host for the CBC, including stints as host of CBC Radio One's The House[2] and Ottawa Morning on CBO-FM,[1] and as a Shanghai-based foreign correspondent for CBC News.[3] He received several nominations for the Canadian Association of Journalists awards for his reportage on China.[4]
After relocating to his wife's hometown of St. John's in 2011, he hosted The St. John's Morning Show on CBC Radio One St. John's until 2017, then co-anchored CBC Newfoundland and Labrador's local newscast CBC Here & Now until 2022,[5] finally hosting the provincial Radio One afternoon drive show On the Go until his retirement from the CBC in January 2024.[6]
At that time, Germain had also been teaching journalism courses at the College of the North Atlantic.[7]
Federal politics
He was the Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Terra Nova—The Peninsulas in the 2025 Canadian federal election.[8] After initially being declared the winner by 12 votes,[9] Elections Canada announced on May 9 that the results were narrow enough for a judicial recount.[10]
On May 23, 2025, it was announced that Germain lost the seat to Conservative candidate Jonathan Rowe.[11]
