Canadian news columnist formerly CBC.ca, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, author, feminist, bookish person, centre-left. Am considering a Substack while I re-read Infinite Jest about screens that became drugs.
As journalism thins out, newspapers trying to be boring as a matter of policy are like the Oscars not having a category for comedy. It's considered lowbrow to make yourself a must-read, a big draw.

It's a terrific story. What editor let it vanish? Editors forget that readers are interested in their fellow human beings. Will $510 million slip away? Maybe, maybe not. Call us interested.
