I spent 6 months obsessed with the piece – missing a friend's wedding rehearsal to hike to Fogarty's Cove; counting petition names by hand; wrangling environmental impact assessments; interviewing what felt like half of Canso. The most "Maritimer" story I've ever told, also probably the most Globe-y

I am at the Laraaji show. He performed four fake-out encores — and at the end of the last one, someone dropped their phone, then everyone burst out laughing, then Laraaji said “the sound tapestry is completed,” and then he got a standing ovation. Then he came back for a fifth encore

But I thought only Google sister companies had enough money to fund an eastern waterfront LRT
