Revision as of 00:53, 12 March 2021 by Roregan (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Martin Joseph O'Malley (born 22 February 1939) is a Canadian journalist and writer. He has written for CBC News and The Globe and Mail. O'Malley is perhaps best known for a Globe and Mail column in which he coined the line about homosexuality that Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau later made famous: "The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation".
He has written the following books:
- The Past and Future Land: an account of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry
- Doctors
- Hospital
- Gross Misconduct: The Life of Spinner Spencer
- Running Risks
- Game Day: the Blue Jays at SkyDome
- More than Meets the Eye: Watching television watching us
Gross Misconduct earned O'Malley the Author of the Year award in 1989 from the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters. The book was made into a TV film, directed by Atom Egoyan. O'Malley also wrote the CBC docudrama Giant Mine.
