While Coyne was the head of the editorial board, the decision to endorse the Conservatives was made by the newspaper's publisher Paul Godfrey. On election day, Coyne announced that as a result of the paper refusing to run his election column, he was resigning as the Post's editorial page and comment editor but would remain as a columnist. Coyne has also been published in "The Wall Street Journal", "National Review", "Saturday Night", the now-defunct Canadian edition of "Time", and other publications. Coyne has also written for the conservative magazine "The Next City." Coyne has been a longtime member of the "At Issue" panel on CBC's "The National". Coyne has said that he considers the political labels "left" and "right" to be "tribes" of "self-quarantine." He has endorsed a strong federal government, more market based economic solutions, and a stronger role for Canada in the War on Terror. Coyne is also a proponent of proportional representation in the House of Commons of Canada and believes Canada should remain a constitutional monarchy rather than become a republic. He advocated for forgiveness to move on from previous mistakes when politicians get into their news for their misdeeds.
