Pamela Wallin OC SOM (born April 10, 1953) is a Canadian senator, former television journalist, and diplomat.

Wallin spent much of her formative years in Wadena but completed her high school in Moose Jaw.

However, as a result of Frum's death in March 1992, the CBC wanted to revamp and reposition its entire approach to news programming.

[5] Following her dismissal from CBC News, Wallin briefly returned to CTV as part of its coverage of the 1995 provincial election in Ontario,[6] but did not rejoin the company permanently.

[1] Airing on CBC Newsworld and, in some years, on the CBC's main network as well, Pamela Wallin Live was a highly successful series which featured Wallin interviewing newsmakers, celebrities and other interesting personalities in a manner similar to CNN's Larry King Live.

In 2001, Wallin, along with Foreign Affairs Minister John Manley, was one of the organizers of the "Canada Loves New York" rally for Canadians to show their support after the September 11 attacks (Manley ran in the New York City Marathon in 2001, a contributing factor in the organization of the rally).

On June 25, 2002, Wallin's television career came to an end when Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien advised Governor General Adrienne Clarkson to appoint Wallin to a four-year term as Canada's consul general in New York City,[1] her first diplomatic posting.

In 2003, Wallin and Senator Jerry Grafstein were honoured by the Canadian Society of New York for their ongoing commitment to strengthening the ties between Canada and the United States.

[20] On November 5, 2013, the Senate voted to suspend Wallin without pay for the duration of the 41st Canadian Parliament for alleged theft from the public purse.

[24] In 1994, her home town of Wadena, Saskatchewan named its major street Pamela Wallin Drive in her honour.
