Roughly eight months ago, I became the editor of Maclean’s, Canada’s storied national magazine, with a mission to publish the most ambitious longform feature journalism in the country, on the most important subjects, in the most irresistible way. I’m proud of the work we’ve already done, including Michelle Cyca’s blockbuster cover story on the “pretendian” scandals at Canadian universities, Alan Drummond’s excruciating account of running an emergency department under stressful conditions, Stephen Maher’s clear-eyed report of the young man who drove his truck into the Afzaal family in London, Ontario, and Omar Mouallem's chilling investigation into the case of an abusive Calgary high school teacher. 

I’m crazy excited about the stories we have planned for 2023.
But I need your help. Please subscribe. That’s the best way to support the work we’re doing at Maclean’s and avoid missing out on the biggest, buzziest stories in the country.

There’s an incredible Black Friday sale on right now: six issues for just $11.94. That’s practically free! (A year-long subscription is just $39.99, which, frankly, is also insanely cheap. Buy one for you and one as a gift?)

You can click here to access the sale, which lasts until November 30.

Sincerely,

Sarah Fulford
Editor, Maclean’s

Inside Canada's urgent-care crisis

Also in this issue:

• Uncovering a Calgary schoolteacher's legacy of abuse 
• The Interview: Gabor Mate on the mind-body connection 
• The Leonard Cohen you didn't know
