As one of the region&#8217;s most popular news anchors, he brings you the News Hour, every weeknight at 6 PM on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globaltvedmonton.com\/\">Global Edmonton<\/a>.\u00a0 While Gord is best known as a veteran broadcast journalist, he&#8217;s also a best-selling Canadian author. He penned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lonepinepublishing.com\/cat\/1-894864-11-5\">Mobsters and Rumrunners of Canada<\/a>, which is sold at bookstores across Canada and the United States. It focuses on a little known part of Canadian history: the roaring 1920s and the connection between Canadian and American gangsters during prohibition.\u00a0 Gord is also an accomplished musician\/singer\/songwriter, with three albums under his belt.<\/p>\n<p>Although the photo above was shot in the green screen room just after he hosted the evening news, the car was on air during the

The appointment of Honouray Colonels goes back to the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Boer_Wars\">Boer War<\/a>. Gord says this, &#8220;What makes me and my family especially proud of this honorary title is that my Grandfather (who I was very close to) was Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Herbert Ford,&#8221; Steinke says, &#8220;He was a World War 1 Veteran who fought at <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Battle_of_Vimy_Ridge\">Vimy Ridge<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Battle_of_Passchendaele\">Passchendale<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/29th_Battalion,_(Vancouver),_CEF\">Tobin&#8217;s Tigers &#8211; 29th Vancouver Battalion<\/a>.
