[edit] Background
Coyne was born in Ottawa, Ontario, the son of Hope Meribeth Cameron (née Stobie) and James Coyne, who was governor of the Bank of Canada from 1955 to 1961.[2][4] His sister is actress Susan Coyne. He is also the cousin of constitutional lawyer Deborah Coyne, who is the mother of Pierre Trudeau's youngest child. Coyne studied at the University of Manitoba where he was editor of The Manitoban before transferring to the University of Toronto's University of Trinity College, from which he received a BA in economics and history. He received his master's degree in economics from the London School of Economics.
Coyne has said that he considers the political labels "left" and "right" to be "tribes" of "self-quarantine."[5] He endorses a strong federal government,[6] more market based economic solutions,[7] and a stronger role for Canada in the War on Terror.[8] Coyne is also a proponent of proportional representation in Canada's House of Commons.[9]
[edit] The Globe and Mail
After a stint as a columnist for the Financial Post from 1985 to 1991, Coyne joined the editorial board of The Globe and Mail. While at the Globe, Coyne won two consecutive National Newspaper Awards for editorial writing in 1991 and 1992.[10] He had a regular column in the Globe between 1994 and 1996, when he joined Southam News (now CanWest News Service) as a nationally syndicated columnist.
[edit] National Post
When the National Post—the successor to the Financial Post—launched in 1998, Coyne became the paper's national affairs columnist. His work has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, Saturday Night, the Canadian edition of Time, and other publications.
[edit] Maclean's
On October 30, 2007, Coyne was named national editor of Maclean's; also announced was his departure from the National Post. As part of his role as national editor, Coyne lends a guiding hand to the editorial board in regard to national coverage. He also continues to blog and to write regular columns as well as occasional longer pieces.[citation needed] He is a very prolific tweeter.
In December 2011, Coyne announced he was rejoining the Post.
Coyne is a regular member of The National's weekly At Issue political panel, regularly scheduled for Thursdays.
