Vassy Kapelos

Kapelos first began reporting in Swift Current^[12] and worked for the Global Television Network's stations in Saskatoon and Edmonton, including as the Edmonton station's provincial political affairs reporter.^[13] In that role, she became best known for breaking the story about the large severance package paid out to Premier Alison Redford's outgoing chief of staff in 2013,^[10] which ultimately forced Redford to introduce a new sunshine list for public employees. In that same year, she was part of the reporting team for the series "Code Red", an investigative series on the ambulance industry in Alberta,^[14][11] which drew on revealing interviews with paramedics and other sources and an in-studio interview with Alberta Minister of Health Fred Horne^[14] to reveal an under-resourced industry that was endangering Alberta residents.^[11]

Kapelos transferred to the Ottawa bureau in 2013, becoming bureau chief in 2016 and host of The West Block in 2017 following the retirement of Tom Clark.^[15] In February 2018, she left Global to join CBC News Network as the new host of Power & Politics.^[15]

On November 8, 2022, CTV announced that Kapelos would become its chief political correspondent and host of two political shows, Power Play and Question Period. She replaced Evan Solomon who joined online political media outlet Gzero.^[8][9] She will also host The Vassy Kapelos Show on iHeartRadio.
