Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on November 20, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Ryan Cleary! From fearless journalism to navigating the unpredictable waters of Canadian politics, you've always managed to keep things interesting. Your tenure as editor-in-chief at The Independent was nothing short of legendary—proving that ink and wit can indeed change the world (or at least Newfoundland and Labrador).

Whether you're grilling politicians or championing local causes, your passion remains unmatched. Here's hoping this year brings you even more headline-worthy moments—minus any political scandals, unless they're particularly entertaining.

Cheers to another year of sharp insights, hearty laughs, and stories worth telling. Keep making waves; we’re all enjoying the ride!
