Mike Drolet

Global National Toronto Correspondent

Mike Drolet is a Toronto correspondent for Global National. 

A veteran reporter, he has worked in newsrooms across southern Ontario and Quebec while also covering international stories from around the world that matter to Canadians.    

Mike did two tours reporting in Afghanistan and was one of the first Canadian reporters on the ground after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, which earned him a Gemini nomination for Best International Reportage.  

He has documented the fallout from natural disasters and conflicts across the U.S. and Canada, as well as the changing political landscape that led to the trucker convoy and subsequent occupation of Ottawa.  

Most recently he’s taken an interest in how tech and the growth of Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the Canadian economy and the ways Canadians interact with the world.  

In his spare time, he enjoys snowboarding, hockey, reading and travelling which all take a backseat to his daughter’s aspirations to pursue ballet (while maintaining an A+ average in school!).
