Letter from the editor: What to read as you get ready to vote

2 weeks ago | thelogic.co | David Skok

As The Logic’s reporters have fanned out across the country over the last few weeks, covering Canada’s federal election campaign from Newfoundland and Labrador to B.C. and as far north as Iqaluit and Ontario’s Ring of Fire, I’ve been struck in particular by the incredible photojournalism we’ve been able to publish.
Letter from the editor: A federal election at an existential moment

1 month ago | thelogic.co | David Skok

The federal election is underway. Over the next five weeks, party leaders will criss-cross the country, vying for a mandate to govern Canada’s 45th Parliament. What once appeared to be a clear path to a Conservative majority has tightened into a competitive race—one that will test the leaders’ ability to connect with voters and define their vision for the country. The top two contenders for the job of prime minister are unproven on this stage.
Letter from the editor: Looking back on a landmark year

Dec 17, 2024 | thelogic.co | David Skok

It has been a landmark year for The Logic. Our newsroom broke big news stories on big companies like Brookfield, Rogers and Cohere. We delivered scoops from inside Ottawa, and insightful analysis on artificial intelligence, open banking and the EV supply chain, to name just a few of the topics that mattered to Canadian business in 2024.
Letter from the editor: What to expect this month at The Logic Summit

Oct 17, 2024 | thelogic.co | David Skok

A month into the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenneth Whyte penned a column in The Logic that looked at how the 1929 stock market crash led to the Great Depression, and what that could portend for the decade ahead of us. We are now almost five years removed from the start of the pandemic, and it’s becoming clear that what looked at first like a V-shaped recovery has proven to be a period of slow growth and declining productivity.

Letter from the editor: A note to readers about the CBC and me

May 13, 2024 | thelogic.co | David Skok |Martin Patriquin |Catherine McIntyre |Anita Balakrishnan

Earlier this spring, the heritage minister’s office asked me to serve on a non-partisan expert panel that will advise the government on the future of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio-Canada. I was torn. The CBC is a public institution—the biggest player in Canada’s media sector, it gets $1.3 billion in taxpayer dollars each year—and this was a call to public service.
Letter from the editor: Announcing the launch of The Logic’s first-ever book

Feb 17, 2024 | thelogic.co | David Skok |Murad Hemmadi |Jesse Snyder |Catherine McIntyre

Last fall, we undertook the most ambitious project in our history: a newsroom-wide effort to give readers an understanding what is uniquely Canadian about this moment in artificial intelligence. The resulting 13-part series examined Canada’s first-mover advantage in AI, from academic research in Montreal to life sciences breakthroughs in Vancouver to innovation and defence policy in Ottawa.
Letter from the editor: Announcing The Logic’s most ambitious editorial project to date

When the Lumière brothers debuted the first motion picture film in 1895, it was an engineering marvel. Legend has it that the 50-second film showing a train steamrolling towards the camera felt so realistic to the audience that they jumped out of their seats. Despite that initial success, it would take another 26 years for Charlie Chaplin to direct The Kid, which popularized feature-length motion picture filmmaking.

Canada’s election got a lot more interesting over the past few months. A tight race. Two untested leaders. Big stakes for the economy. And, Trump. We’re cutting through the noise to bring you the real story: https://t.co/b2cDzrW7ux #cdnpoli #Election2025
