Kevin O'Leary is leaving the Lang&O'Leary Exchange, CBC announced Tuesday.
The Toronto Star reported the blunt billionaire (who may not be a billionaire), right-wing commentator and reality TV star will begin sharing his views with various CTV programs as of Sept. 1.
From his public broadcaster pulpit, O'Leary bullied against GMO food and in favour of things like increasing inequality and the power of the market. From O'Leary, we learned government doesn't create jobs, even though it created a number of them for him, including a starring spot on the reality show Dragon's Den, which led to a similar role on a similar show in the U.S. called Shark Tank.
The above video chronicles his famous quote that 3.5 billion people living in poverty is 'fantastic news.'
Below are some of his other high or low-lights.
