I’m Dennis Gruending, an Ottawa-based writer, researcher, speaker and consultant.

I’ve written six books and countless articles about Canadian history and political life. I am a speaker, commentator and moderator. I also research and write reports and speeches for others.

My specialty is taking complex ideas and expressing them in simple but arresting language -- in my own writing and speaking, and in other projects that I undertake.

I’ve worked as a journalist in print and television, and as radio host. I have served as a Member of Parliament.
