Mallick attended the University of Toronto where she received a bachelor's and Master of Arts degrees in English Literature. She also earned a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Ryerson University. After graduation, she was employed at the Canadian financial daily newspaper ''Financial Post'' where she first worked as a copy editor and later became a news editor.

It didn't take long. It’s raining Hitlers and somehow one knew it would." She remarked that Stephen Harper, John Baird, Jason Kenney and Hillary Clinton had likened Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler.〔(thestar.com: "Go easy on the Hitler mentions: Mallick" 10 Mar 2014 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heather Mallick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
