Biography
Dale was born to Ronald Dale and Jennifer Dale, a Jewish family [6]. His siblings are Andrew, Brittany and Ryan. He was raised in Thornhill, Ontario. He earned a B.B.A. from York University's Schulich School of Business.[1] After graduating, he worked for the Toronto Star as their Toronto City Hall reporter and bureau chief covering the administration of Mayor Rob Ford.[1]
In 2013, then Toronto Mayor Rob Ford made disparaging remarks about Dale as part of "meddling media", and accused Dale of taking pictures on Ford's property. Ford later retracted the accusations, "there was absolutely no basis for the statement I made about Mr. Dale taking pictures", in response to Dale launching a lawsuit against him. After a lengthy apology from Mayor Ford, Dale cancelled the lawsuit.[7] After four years, Dale moved to the United States where he is focusing on the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.[1] Dale arrived in Washington, DC, to serve as the Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star in 2015.[8][9][10]

Dale's fact-checking of Donald Trump
Dale has written about his fact-checking of Donald Trump's statements in the Washington Post on November 16, 2018, in the Toronto Star, in Politico Magazine in October 2016 [11], and in an interview by Toronto Life [12]
Other journalists quote a list of questionable and untrue statements and tweets from President Trump that Dale has been maintaining. On October 23, 2018, Dale told Judy Woodruff, of the PBS Newshour, that he had found that Trump's rate of dishonesty was increasing.[9][13][14][15][16][1][17][18][19][20][21]
Maggie Seroza, writing in Spin magazine extensively quoted from Dale, in an article that repeated Dale's notes when Trump showed he didn't know the name of Democratic Party, suggesting that the Democrats should rename their party the Democratic Party, when that is, in fact, the party's name.[22]
Daniel W. Drezner, writing in the Washington Post extensively quoted from Dale in an article on Trump's claims on Medicare [23] He quoted from one of Dale's tweets. He then quoted four consecutive paragraphs from one of Dale's most recent articles.
