Jane Taber
Jane Taber has been on and around Parliament Hill since the Mulroney days, beginning her Hill reporting in 1986 with the Ottawa Citizen. Through the years she also reported for a small television network, WTN, and then for the National Post before joining the Globe’s parliamentary bureau in 2002.
She is the Globe's senior political writer and is also co-host of CTV's Question Period, which airs Sunday.
In the blogosphere, Ms. Taber is often accused by the Tories of being a Liberal and by the Liberals of being a Tory. And there was once a Facebook site called 'Jane Taber makes me want to scratch my eyes out,' until her son and his friends persuaded its creator, a young woman, to take it down. The boys said they 'chirped' her to the point that she removed it.
Ms. Taber lives in Ottawa with her husband; they have two children.
