Last night I couldn’t sleep (what’s new), so naturally I spent 3 hours going down the Twitter rabbit hole of white women in the suburbs who love Harris but are married to a male Trump supporter. It’s this whole other world of women of all ages sharing their plans and fears. 🧵

There is one brutal through-line uniting the crises @RevueCinema, Hot Docs, Ontario Place, Ontario Science Centre, and Toronto's sponsor-wracked arts festivals: an active distaste and fundamental ignorance of what the arts can do. My @globeandmail column: theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/arti…
