Larry Zolf

Larry Zolf (July 19, 1934 – March 14, 2011) was a Canadian journalist and commentator.

Zolf was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Though he was raised in a socialist milieu and maintained a strong sympathy for labour, Zolf described himself politically as "a Diefenbaker, Bill Davis, Dalton Camp Red Tory." He worked for Camp in the late 1960s after the cancellation of This Hour Has Seven Days.

While retired from the CBC, he continued to contribute a column to the CBC's website until 2007. After leaving CBC Online he contributed occasional opinion pieces to the National Post. He also published several books during his lifetime, including memoirs and works of humorous political commentary.

Zolf is the father of award-winning poet Syd Zolf. He is buried in Toronto's Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
