Breaks my heart to hear veteran ABC News correspondent Barrie Dunsmore has died. At one point he worked TV in Cornwall On before moving on to Ottawa & Montreal. He followed fellow Canadian ABC News anchor Peter Jennings(RIP) to USA https://t.co/u8nMcWNrz4— Doug Petepiece (@TheUnrealDougP) August 28, 2018
