You may remember Tarek Fatah from his frequent appearances on CFRB and if I'm not mistaken, I think he even had a weekend show on the station at one time. He also wrote a column for many years at the Toronto Sun and became controversial for his views on the problems of fundamentalist Islam, even though he himself was a Muslim. 

His daughter, Natasha, is an anchor/reporter with CBC. 

Tarek Fatah was just 73 when he succumbed to a battle with cancer.
