A few years after first meeting in Montreal, I crossed political paths with Cotler again in Ottawa when I was the Ottawa Bureau Chief for Newstalk 1010 in Toronto and CJAD800 in Montreal. While I had moved up to a fancy sounding title, he had moved up to the position of Justice Minister and Attorney General — a much more important position.
We’ve never seen eye to eye on all issues, but even then, as the government was dealing with contentious legislation, Cotler was not above hearing out those who disagreed with him. In retirement, such as it is, Cotler has stayed active on human rights files pushing for Canada to adopt Magnitsky Act legislation, which we did in 2017, and to stay true to ourselves on issues of human rights. .
