I’m one of those rare birds: a native Torontonian. I grew up in Moore Park in North Toronto, lived away for 10 years in Vancouver and Asia, then came back and have been here ever since. Through most of my career at The Globe, which I joined in 1991, I have been writing about foreign affairs, as an editorial writer, columnist and, most recently, Asia business reporter. Now I’m exploring my hometown as a columnist.
