Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on May 13, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Mary Walsh! May your day be filled with more laughs than a CODCO reunion and more surprises than Marg Delahunty ambushing politicians. Your fearless wit and comedic brilliance have kept Canada smiling—and politicians nervously checking behind bushes—for decades.

From your unforgettable satire on "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" to your powerful directorial debut with "Young Triffie," you've shown us that comedy can both entertain and inspire change. Your tireless activism reminds us all to speak up, stand tall, and never underestimate the power of humor in making the world a better place. Here's to another year of laughter, courage, and fabulous mischief!
