Career
He worked for the CBC in Calgary, Alberta until 1997.

When Mike Duffy left CTV, Richardson anchored On the Hill in that time slot for several weeks.
As parliamentary correspondent, he covered the controversy about confidential documents dealing with the Chalk River nuclear reactor having been left at the CTV news bureau.[3] Richardson was himself quoted as saying the documents had "been here in the bureau for six days and we hadn't heard from Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt or her office looking for them".[4]
