I can't disagree more with your perception of Adrienne Arsenault. She is a remarkably intelligent reporter with a capacity to tell the news stories with immense clarity, detail and insight, without ever being pompous or unnatural. Of all
the CBC reporters (and there are many excellent ones, with depth of experience and
a touch of charisma) Adrienne is outstanding in her ability to seem to be spontaneous   but with great authority.  Her reports from the field are brilliant, and she can cover everything from the trivial to the geopolitically significant with equal
verve and panache.  Anchoring might be too boring for her - but I would feel in good hands if she is chosen for that role.
