Timeline
Wendy Mesley (born January 8, 1957) is a Canadian television journalist.
Mesley was born in Montreal, Quebec, but her parents' marriage dissolved very soon after her birth, and her mother moved herself and Wendy to Toronto in 1958.
Mesley spent her childhood being raised by a single mother as an only child.
Her mother, Joan Mesley, was a physiotherapist.
Her father, Gordon Mesley, was a radio journalist.
Mesley met her father for the first time when she was eighteen.
When she was ten years old, Mesley accompanied her mother to the U.S. consulate to picket in support of Martin Luther King Jr.
She worked for CBC News from 1979 to 2021 in roles including national correspondent and relief.
Mesley applied to summer jobs with both CBC and CTV in 1979 and received job offers from both, opting to work for CTV in Quebec.
By 1981, however, she found herself shifting to CBC.
Mesley hosted CBC Television's consumer investigation series Marketplace and was also a frequent back-up anchor for CBC's flagship evening news program, The National.
On January 6, 1989, Mesley married CBC news anchor Peter Mansbridge, but the marriage ended in 1992.
She remarried on April 17, 1998, to marketing executive Liam McQuade and has one daughter with him, Kate Rae McQuade.
In 2001 and 2002, she co-hosted the investigative newsmagazine CBC News: Disclosure with Diana Swain, having previously hosted the media and technology series Undercurrents, from 1995 until 2001.
In January 2005, Mesley announced that she had found a lump in her left breast and had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
In 2006, she was named by ACTRA as the recipient of its John Drainie Award for lifetime achievement in Canadian broadcasting.
After undergoing treatment, including two lumpectomies, chemotherapy, and radiation, Mesley returned to the CBC full-time in March 2006 but was under the care of an oncologist.
That same month, her documentary Chasing the Cancer Answer aired.
From October 2009, Mesley had a greater presence on CBC's The National and in 2010, she became the program's regular Sunday anchor.
She was the anchor of The National, host of Undercurrents, Disclosure, and Marketplace, and from 2018 to 2020, she hosted the Sunday morning talk show The Weekly with Wendy Mesley.
In January 2018, she started hosting a new Sunday morning talk show on politics and media: The Weekly with Wendy Mesley.
While Mesley did concede to having made a serious error by using the offensive term nigger in editorial meetings on two occasions, once in 2019 and again in 2020, she indicated that her second mistake was in trusting CBC management to manage the story appropriately.
She also felt that the punishment administered by management was disproportionate, given that on both occasions, her use of the word was not malicious.
On June 9, 2020, Mesley was suspended from The Weekly for saying the word "nigger" in reference to the book White Niggers of America, written by Pierre Vallières, while she was hosting an editorial meeting about race issues.
Mesley immediately apologized.
On July 5, 2021, she announced her retirement from CBC.
On July 7, 2021, an opinion piece written by Mesley appeared in The Globe and Mail, entitled "I made mistakes. But my departure wasn't the solution to the CBC's problem with racism", which detailed the issues leading up to her retirement.
