“Women in New Brunswick aren’t treated like women in the rest of Canada.” Read why in a new @thewalrus piece from me on the duel over preventing v providing abortions in NB. So grateful to see this out in the world (and the issue back in court soon 🤞🏻).

It’s flattering to see @nytimes rewrite my feature on two Canadian men switched at birth. You can read the original, exclusively reported @globeandmail story I took months to research and write as a former freelancer here

In 1955, a Manitoba hospital sent Richard Beauvais and Eddy Ambrose home with the wrong families. After DNA tests revealed the mix-up, both want an explanation and compensation

One of the most helpful things you can do for someone who is anxious is remind them that they have not let you down or disappointed you, that whatever they were able to bring was enough. The amount of time we spend doubting this very important truth is a lot.

If so many of us feel poisoned by our products, might there be something wrong with them? If the goal of journalism is to inform people, where is the evidence it is working? https://t.co/s0fDGAG5Uw via @washingtonpost

It is easy to assume that accessing abortion care is no longer a problem in Canada—the procedure was fully decriminalized in 1988. But, as @jessleeder reports, the battle to provide access in New Brunswick is still ongoing.

A good day to read @jessleeder’s story on the lack of abortion access in New Brunswick. It’s also just been nominated for a National Magazine Award for long-form feature writing. #NMA22
