My Take
What draws me to Charlie Angus is the rare combination of vocations stacked behind his name: historian, editor, songwriter, broadcaster, and only then politician. Coming out of the mining town of Timmins, he writes about cobalt and the human cost of extraction with the eye of someone rooted in a place rather than a party line. Two decades as a member of Parliament never seemed to dull that storyteller's instinct, and his move into broadcasting after leaving office confirms it. I read him as a chronicler of forgotten voices first, and I respect that he never stopped being a teacher.
