Happy to have helped with this beautiful photo essay in @theglobeandmail.com about a Chinatown restaurant in Toronto that's equal parts home and 好味: www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: A wok to remember: Saving our parents’ legendary restaurant in Toronto’s Chinatown is about more than just food
By picking up the torch from their parents and taking over Yueh Tung, the family restaurant, Jeanette Liu and her sister are working to preserve culture, memory, and identity – before it disappears

It took more than a decade, but it happened for me: I wrote in @theglobeandmail.com about whisky, thus definitely validating my years of collecting. (Specifically, about a big opportunity for Canadian whisky that it has spent years preparing for): www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b355f60...
Canadian whisky is good, actually
If Canadian whisky is having a moment, the best offerings of our diverse national spirit – in its way, a kind of patriotism in a glass – are ready for their close-up

“Don’t just do something; sit there.” This weekend’s @globeandmail editorial on the many consequences of our fear of boredom (including in world politics, cc @frankfukuyama.bsky.social ), and why we need to act with intention in the face of distraction: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b355f60...
Just (don’t) do it: The power of being bored
In a world determined to distract, just being alone with your thoughts is an act of defiance

I wrote about my trip to Hakone in Japan, where I learned that the contrast between hot-spring serenity and city stresses is very much the point, and each is integral to the other: @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b355f60...

Opinion: Donald Trump is making America a monarchy again
It took 249 years, but the U.S. has apparently rejected its founding fathers’ democratic experiment – and made King George look like a winner

This @theglobeandmail.com column is about why A-lister endorsements for Kamala Harris didn't move the needle in the election, yes, but it's also about a celebrity vibe shift that has been happening for years now: www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article...
Celebrity endorsements might have hurt Kamala Harris more than they helped
The support for Democrats from A-listers such as Taylor Swift backfired, or at least failed to move the needle. That’s what happens when celebs are seen as unrelatable elites
