Denise Bombardier
Summary
Denise Bombardier (dəniz bɔ̃baʁdje; born Marie Louise Yvette Denise Bombardier, January 18, 1941 – July 4, 2023) was a Canadian journalist, essayist, novelist and media personality who worked for the French-language television network Radio-Canada for over 30 years.
Bombardier was a defender of the international Francophonie and has often been invited by Bernard Pivot to discuss the psyche of the French and the situation of the French language in France.
Denise Bombardier obtained a master's degree in political science from the Université de Montréal in 1971 and a doctorate in sociology three years later from the Sorbonne.
Bombardier began her professional career as a research assistant on the Radio-Canada television program Aujourd'hui. Starting in 1975 she hosted a number of programs such as Présent international, Hebdo-dimanche, Noir sur blanc (1979–1983), Le Point and Entre les lignes. She hosted Trait-d'union from 1987 to 1988, and participated on Aujourd'hui dimanche (1988–1991) and L'Envers de la médaille.
Noir sur blanc was the first public affairs program to be hosted by a woman in Quebec. There Bombardier interviewed Prime Minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau, novelist Georges Simenon, Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir, President of France Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and his successor François Mitterrand.
In 1999, she hosted and produced the science program Les Années lumières on Radio-Canada radio.
Bombardier wrote a number of articles in the press, some of which were controversial. Her articles appeared in Le Monde, Le Devoir, L'Express de Toronto, Châtelaine, Le Point and L'Actualité. She also wrote La Voix de la France (1975), Une enfance à l'eau bénite (1985), Aimez-moi les uns les autres (1999), Nos chères amies (2008), and L'énigmatique Céline Dion (2009).
In 2003, she was fired via e-mail from the public television network Radio-Canada for engaging in a debate on same-sex marriage against Louis Godbout, spokesperson for the Quebec Gay Archives, during an interview-format segment of Le Point, an evening information show.
