The Hill Times lists its "most influential" on Parliament Hill

The Hill Times is the weekly newspaper dedicated to Parliament Hill news and politics and, once a year, publishes a list of “Most Influential” types on the Hill. I made the list this year — thank you, Hill Times types — but I should note that, while it's nice to be on a list like this, a previous Hill Times “most influential” list did omit my friend Kevin Newman who was only a) anchoring the most-watched national newscast in the country at the time and b) was the anchor of the only national newscast to be broadcast from the nation's capital. This “most influential” has also in the past omitted Don Martin. He's on this year's list as host of CTV's “Power Play” but missed it one year as the columnist for the National Post and Calgary Herald. And, so far as the media goes, I think you'd have to put Evan Solomon, host of CBC's “Power and Politics” on the list. Still, that's the fun part of about these kind of lists — arguing about who you agree with and who you don't.
