Requiem for Rex Murphy: A Tribute to Newfoundland

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is joined by the late author and commentator Rex Murphy, who guides us through the boundless Canadian province of Newfoundland. Between complete isolation and the cutting edge of history and modernity, its people and culture stand resilient. Our hosts journey from port to port, taking in the unrivaled beauty while discussing John Cabot’s historic arrival, modern day challenges of the fishing industry, breakthroughs in both spirit and science, and the awe-inspiring kindness shown by Gander residents after September 11, which captured hearts and minds all across the globe.

Dedicated to Rex Murphy, a true friend of Canada

Rex Murphy was thoroughly Canadian: a writer and commentator who centered much of his work on the country that he loved. First gaining attention in 1965 for a speech given at Memorial University, he called Newfoundland’s then-Premier Joey Smallwood “dictatorial,” launching him as a voice against tyranny. For 21 years, Rex regularly hosted CBC Radio One’s Cross Country Checkup and published a column in the Saturday edition of the Globe and Mail. Rex was seen, heard, and listened to by millions of Canadians for decades. Much of his writing and opinions have been preserved in published books such as 2003’s “Points of View” and 2009’s “Canada and Other Matters of Opinion.” Always considerate of those who he could help, Rex was humble, grounded, and full of wit — traits that continually brought admirers to hear his commentary. A lifetime lover of his country, Rex was a valiant man of his words who bravely said what he believed throughout his life until the very end. He passed on May 9, 2024, at the age of 77.
