Previously LaFlamme covered Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September for CityNews.

“It’s been eight months since the death of Queen Elizabeth, who was 27 years old on her Coronation Day. Now her son, King Charles at 74, will officially begin a new era with a whole new set of priorities and responsibilities,” LaFlamme said. “There will be much to discuss and debate and I hope Canadians will join us on this journey.”
