4 days ago | macleans.ca | Katie Underwood

Back when Diana Matheson was a star midfielder for Canada’s national women’s soccer team, plays were analyzed using magnets on tactical boards. But in 2022, a year into her retirement, she found herself mapping out the country’s first pro women’s league on a bar napkin in Toronto’s west end with Thomas Gilbert, her partner at Project 8 Sports—the company they founded to bring the idea to life.
Nervous About Crossing the Border? You Should Be.

2 weeks ago | macleans.ca | Alex Cyr

The town of Blaine, Washington, is within eyesight of the Peace Arch border crossing—one of the busiest ports of entry along the Canada-U.S. frontier. From his office there, Len Saunders has spent the past few months watching border traffic plummet by nearly half, panic set in among travellers, and U.S. Border Patrol agents exercising their authority to the limit—and beyond.

It’s hard to keep up with Canada’s measles outbreak. Last month, the federal health database reported more than 1,500 cases across the country. More recent stats from Public Health Ontario counted more than 1,400 cases and 100 hospitalizations in Ontario alone.
“Don't Hate All of Us”: An American Farmer Speaks Out

4 weeks ago | macleans.ca | Katie Underwood

Farmers are probably the best equipped of us all to weather storms. Doug Sombke, a fourth-generation farmer and rancher from Groton, South Dakota, thinks Hurricane Donald might be the most devastating one he’s seen yet. Within weeks of taking office, Trump mounted a topsy-turvy global trade war, which has, so far, mostly served to devastate the working-class Americans he swore to enrich.

Daniel Debow Wants Canada To Get Rich Quicker

1 month ago | macleans.ca | Katie Underwood

February marked the launch of Build Canada, a mysterious website that loftily promised plans for a “bolder, richer, freer country.” Soon, more details emerged: it was a non-partisan forum for entrepreneurs of all stripes to publish their visionary, occasionally radical policy ideas for bettering Canada.
Boycotting U.S. Lettuce? Here's How.

1 month ago | macleans.ca | Ali Amad

Canada may be rich in canola, potash and oil, but when it comes to lettuce, we’re in a bit of a crunch. Despite our vast farmland, we rely heavily on the United States—especially California—for our salad supply. Roughly 90 per cent of our leafy greens are imported, leaving grocery chains vulnerable to fallout from Donald Trump’s on-and-off-and-on-again tariffs.
The War on Canadian Voters Is Online

1 month ago | macleans.ca | Ali Amad

Last week, Canada’s intelligence agencies flagged a disinformation campaign on WeChat aimed at Mark Carney, with posts reaching up to three million views. Originating from an account tied to the Chinese Communist Party, the posts cast Carney as a “rock-star economist” and lauded his toughness on Trump—praise that officials say masked a calculated attempt to sway Chinese-Canadian voters and stir political blowback.
How Indigenous-Led Efforts are Restoring Wildfire-Impacted Forests

1 month ago | macleans.ca | Jenna Mohammed

In recent years, B.C. has experienced some of the most destructive wildfire seasons in its history. Warming temperatures, drier conditions, invasive species such as pine beetles and a past ban on Indigenous fire stewardship practices, such as prescribed burns, which has only recently been loosened, have meant forests are less resistant to fires than they once were. So how do we recover from wildfires and reduce threats in the future?

Douglas Cowgill has spent the last decade helping Canadian-Americans renounce their U.S. citizenship. And in the new Trump era, as more Americans consider cutting ties, he’s become a hot commodity. “There’s no question, we’ve gotten a huge uptick in requests,” says Cowgill, although politics are just part of it (see also: paperwork). Here, he describes what’s involved in an official renunciation and why Trump-era border policies are changing the calculation.
