She has also worked for the Ottawa Citizen and the National Post. She has covered Parliament Hill since 1986, working as a parliamentary reporter and columnist for the Ottawa Citizen, the National Post, and finally for the Globe.

On June 26, 2011, Taber relinquished her role as co-host of Question Period to be replaced for the 2011-12 season by Kevin Newman. However, she continued to take part in the program as a regular guest journalist, and also acted as a stand-in host for Don Martin on CTV News Channel's Power Play right up to her departure for Halifax.

In 2005 she was listed as the second most influential Ottawan by Ottawa Life magazine.
