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

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
