He first studied at Queen's University but left there after three years without completing a degree.

After working with The Canadian Press he joined The Globe and Mail in 1970, later in the decade transferring to the Toronto Sun where he wrote a humorous gossip column. He later credited the Sun for allowing him to establish his comedic voice in print. Eventually, he joined the Toronto Star in 1979. He remained at the Star for almost 30 years, where his humour column (no longer a gossip column) was by-lined simply as by "Slinger". Other career highlights included terms as producer and occasional on-air host at CBC Radio. Slinger retired from the Toronto Star in April 2008. (en)
