Andrew Coyne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Coyne, MA , BA is a Canadian journalist and columnist. He studied at the University of Toronto's University of Trinity College, receiving a BA in Economics and History, and he received his Master of Arts degree in Economics from the London School of Economics.
He wrote for The Globe and Mail until 1998, when he joined the fledgling National Post.
Coyne eschews traditional ideological labels, saying he considers "left" and "right" to be "gangs." He endorses a strong Federal government, more market based economic solutions, and a stronger role for Canada in the War on Terrorism.
He is the brother of actress Susan Coyne. Their father was James Coyne, who was governor of the Bank of Canada from 1955 to 1961. He is also the cousin of Constitutional lawyer Deborah Coyne, who had a baby with Pierre Trudeau in 1991 and later married columnist Michael Valpy.
