Requiem for Rex Murphy: A Tribute to Newfoundland

Watch the full documentary exclusively on DW+ www.dailywire.com/show/a-trib...
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is joined by the late author and commentator Rex Murphy, who guides us through the boundless Canadian province of Newfoundland. Between complete isolation and the cutting edge of history and modernity, its people and culture stand resilient. Our hosts journey from port to port, taking in the unrivaled beauty while discussing John Cabot’s historic arrival, modern day challenges of the fishing industry, breakthroughs in both spirit and science, and the awe-inspiring kindness shown by Gander residents after September 11, which captured hearts and minds all across the globe.
Dedicated to Rex Murphy, a true friend of Canada
Rex Murphy was thoroughly Canadian: a writer and commentator who centered much of his work on the country that he loved. First gaining attention in 1965 for a speech given at Memorial University, he called Newfoundland’s then-Premier Joey Smallwood “dictatorial,” launching him as a voice against tyranny. For 21 years, Rex regularly hosted CBC Radio One’s Cross Country Checkup and published a column in the Saturday edition of the Globe and Mail. Rex was seen, heard, and listened to by millions of Canadians for decades. Much of his writing and opinions have been preserved in published books such as 2003’s “Points of View” and 2009’s “Canada and Other Matters of Opinion.” Always considerate of those who he could help, Rex was humble, grounded, and full of wit - traits that continually brought admirers to hear his commentary. A lifetime lover of his country, Rex was a valiant man of his words who bravely said what he believed throughout his life until the very end. He passed on May 9, 2024, at the age of 77.

Rex Murphy was Canada's greatest journalist. He was the embodiment of everything we need and don't have from our media today. Perceptive, insightful, and above all else, truthful. Unfortunately, we lost him when we needed him the most. In fact, Canada needs a 1000 more Rex Murphy's right now, and we lost the only one we had. Rest in peace Rex. Thank you JP! ❤‍🩹

[@candytoo3729]

Interesting too bad the grave is dark. He dived in it when he met Jordan Peterson. The fall of a genius into the rabbit hole of lies and hate was astounding. Sad he is gone and grateful for his genius. Too bad he took the dark side in the end.

[@dtown902]

Is it just me or Jordan looks younger and fresher when he's out and about, smiling and connecting with people, as opposed to him being in indoors, sitting there all serious:) I really enjoyed watching him being this way, very refreshing😊

[@Shannon-lw5hk]

Without exaggeration I have watched Dr. Peterson's lectures, interviews, and clips 2 or 3 hundred times and I was thinking the exact same thing, his body language absolutely shouted... "I can breathe here- my heart is happy here." What a gift Dr Peterson was able to give a man who was so important to Canadians, wish there were more men like the two of them and it might not all feel so chaotic all the time.

[@thormusique]

This was magnificent, thank you! I'm not Canadian, but as a lifelong lover of Canada and its wonderful people, I loved listening to Mr Murphy on CBC programmes such as Cross-Country Checkup, over which he presided for many years. In my mind, he always represented the very best in journalism at the CBC, back when the broadcaster was still a cross-cultural, unifying force in Canada. Of course, these days, along with the BBC in Britain and NPR in the States, it is no longer. Regardless, once upon a time there were journalists like Rex Murphy, who cared about people, community, and truth as foundations for common discourse. And I hope that someday, people will look back at giants like him and realise it's not too late to return to those principles. RIP, Rex Murphy.

[@isaacgriffin5690]

RIP Rex When my brother recently passed away, it was only our Newfoundlander friends who came over to support and brought food. No one else. There truly is something special about their culture that the rest of us are lacking.

[@lorellgingrich6603]

To be fair, when my husband passed away some yrs ago, people from the church brought lots of food, cards and listening ears, and when my daughter's best friend for 36 yrs suddenly passed away this past Jan. the entire community where she, her husband and 2 little daughters had recently moved to, across the country in Dartmouth, brought mountains of food both to their house as well as to the Celebration of Life ceremony. And I met my daughter at the Halifax airport having flown from the West coast to the East coast to be with my friends, the devastated parents. There are decent people

[@obefemimartins3846]

[@derekbryce2632]

I spent most of my teens and twenties in Canada and became aware of Rex Murphy’s work then. My father’s employer transferred us there in the early 80s first to Newfoundland in fact and then to Alberta. After moving home to Scotland in 97, I lost touch with much of Canadian media and Mr Murphy’s singular presence in it. It was Jordan Peterson’s and Rex Murphy’s conversations online, offering excoriating condemnation of the excesses of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government and Covid overreach in particular that brought me back to Rex. What a gift for language and its use he had. I’m very sorry to hear of his passing. This was a lovely tribute to a great man and a truly unique part of the world.

My heart is too full for easy words. When we got the news that Rex had passed away, I kept thinking how sorrowful I was that I had not got the chance to meet him in person. And I felt so sorrowful that there would never be another conversation with Dr. Peterson. And so this documentary is such an unspeakably precious gift. To remember how desperately ill Dr. Peterson was when he first talked to Rex and to compare that fragile pain-wracked man with the rosy-cheeked bright-eyed man talking with Rex in this documentary- it’s such a gift. And that Rex had the chance to give all that he had to give while he was alive. I have had strong ties to Newfoundland through childhood friends for many years and this brought me so close to them, and to Rex and Dr. Peterson. This is a tribute to a life very well lived indeed.

For many years Rex Murphy's 'Point of View', on CBC television, was one of the highlights of my weekly viewing experience. That of course is but a small part of his remarkable career. A great Canadian and a great person, Mr. Rex Murphy you were loved by millions and will be truly missed. RIP sir.

A beautiful tribute to Rex! His voice of reason and his presence in Canada will be missed. Thankfully we have you Dr. Peterson, to carry forth the torch of truth and light. How lovely that you both had this time together. RIP Rex Murphy 🙏🏻🇨🇦❤️

Watching this almost makes me believe in Canada again, except that Rex is gone, and much of what I loved about Canada seems to have slipped away with him. Rest in peace, Rex. Rest in peace the Canada we knew and loved.

What a wonderful way to not only pay tribute to a great Canadian, but to ground and center oneself on a Sunday morning with proper perspective. It's a good reminder of the difficulties of life in their purest essence, and how gratefulness for the simplicities of life is the truest reward. Onward and upward.

I agree. I am a day late to watch this, but I'm still the richer on this holiday Monday morning. Such a beautiful and deserving tribute to a man of acute insight, the courage of his convictions and an unforgettable way with words. He will be sorely missed.

RIP Mr Murphy, you are missed From a fellow Newfoundlander Jordan, I don’t think I have seen you so delighted in any of your other videos. Our beautiful province has smitten you I think Keep smiling, you deserve it Thank you

The 911 story about the people of Newfoundland taking in all those stranded people always brings a tear to my eyes. That said I feel the majority of Canadians are that giving. RIP Rex

Just seeing Dr. Peterson in jeans and blue button down shirt, out of doors....boy, what a handsome devil he really is. I didn't know Rex Murphy until a few years ago through interviews done here. What a wonderful guy. God's speed Rex Murphy.

His integrity and honesty is unmatched. Every article is a lecture. Thank you.

Rex was a wordsmith who could forge an experience from an idea, capture imagination with a tale and show the plain truth and beauty of life in the simplest terms to anyone who heard him. Like most Newfoundlanders I've known, he had that ability to welcome you in as an old friend and bring you alone for the ride, even if you just met. He will be missed.

That was a wonderful gift and sincerely appreciated Mr. Peterson. What an amazing opportunity to spend time with Mr. Murphy in such a magical place. I can't help but wonder what Rex would tell us now that he's crossed over. By his own example and the life he truly 'lived' I would like to think that our youth who feel to get into journalism receive the kind of courses inspired by Rex Murphy's example. Real journalism and sincere appreciation for the nuances of this beautiful country. God bless him 💜✝️💌
