I will miss the newsroom and many of my colleagues. I’d like to thank my small, dedicated batch of readers.
And I’d like to congratulate the business leaders of Canada who will no longer see their names under my byline in The Globe.
After more than 15 years of writing for The Globe and Mail as a freelancer and staff member, I left the company in late April.
Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic
Canada’s oldest retailer, Hudson’s Bay, has been granted protection from its creditors and is evaluating “potential solutions” for the future of the business.

This is outrageous
This shows that "doxxing" has become a meaningless, catch-all phrase for anything these guys do not like reported. @klong.bsky.social is an impressive reporter, who simply connected the anonymous postings of a self-declared racist to the public identity of someone directly altering government.

Football sucks. The best part about this particular Sunday is that baseball starts this week!
The Globe made a number of additions and changes to Board Games for 2025. Please click through to see a summary of adjustments, followed by the full methodology.
The Globe’s data partner, Global Governance Advisors, will examine the boards of directors of companies and trusts in the S&P/TSX Composite Index to assess the quality of their governance practices and disclosure. The Globe will publish the Board Games report later this year.
The Globe has committed to publishing the Board Games marking criteria at the beginning of the annual corporate “proxy season.” That’s when most Canadian companies issue their proxy circular that contains the vast majority of the material on which Board Games is based.
For the 24th year in a row, Report on Business’s Board Games project will rate the work of Canada’s corporate boards using a rigorous set of governance criteria designed to go far beyond minimum mandatory rules imposed by regulators.

It’s a sad day for the good guys, and the public markets have gotten a little less safe.
Yolanda Holtzee, the champion whistleblower who policed the stock markets, has died.
For 25 years, she emailed regulators and journalists – usually in the same message – about sketchy companies and potential penny-stock scams.

“People of all strips”?
What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.
