Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone was Oscar-worthy. Kilmer fully-committed in every way, down to his weight loss. I can’t picture anyone else as Doc Holliday.
Dear Canada, I felt compelled to make something. To stick up for, and to honour. To show our strength, beauty, genius, empathy, light & heart. It's made with deep gratitude for the people and places of this beautiful land. Vive le Canada 🇨🇦❤️✌️💪 vimeo.com/1056619122/f6ec47d…
Maestro David Briskin led the @nationalballet of Canada Orchestra and the audience in a rousing rendition of O Canada before the opening of Swan Lake. #ElbowsUp is not one of ballet’s traditional positions of the arms, but everyone in Canada is adapting.
This is such a huge honour, and it was such a lovely ceremony.
Thank you to @AthletesCAN and @TorontoStar for the award, and thank you to my dear friend, @bruce_arthur, for presenting it on stage (and for making sure I didn't drop the trophy because my hands were shaking).

Many smart, talented journalists have been laid off by The Athletic today.
And, also, me.
It was a wonderful adventure of almost seven years, from being one of the first dozen or so hires the founders made in 2016 all the way up to today.
Thank you for reading along.
"You’re surrounded by a really talented production crew, and analysts like Buck and Joe and Hazel (Mae) and Arden (Zwelling).
"You’re just doing the best job you can and understand, ultimately, it’s not about me"
