Educated at Queen's University, in Kingston, Ontario, Banfield began her career in 1988 at CJBN in Kenora, Ontario, and at CKY-TV in Winnipeg.
On September 11, 2001, Banfield was reporting from the streets of Manhattan, where she was nearly suffocated from the debris cloud from the collapsing World Trade Center.
Banfield continued reporting, even as she rescued a NYPD officer, and with him, fled to safety into a streetside shop.
Banfield's extraordinary mind was embedded in a character that combined tough criticism of loose thought with exceptional generosity and the delights of humor, long meals, and friendly company.
Banfield was in every useful way an individual with a strong and distinctive character that impressed itself on all who met him.
Banfield took up the progressive reforms that in one way or another were the central domestic issue in American politics during the last century, and sought to understand why they failed and yet continued to be attempted.
