I came to U Toronto from Chicago today 10 yrs ago on Canada Day. So a short thread on Canada from an US perspective. And yes, living in Toronto is like living in NYC and talking about the US overall, but I've also been from Tuk to Tofino to rural Newfoundland & Quebec. 1/23

I reported for @nytimes in China, but didn't know the full story of my father's time in Mao's army until I wrote a book. "At the Edge of Empire" is out 6/25: https://t.co/DFHMloZ6Mb. Here's my new NYT story on his epic journey and its link to China today: https://t.co/5cN1yPOray

@suilee I miss Carlos a ton. Every story he touched shone brighter. He not only lifted stories, Carlos lifted countless people like myself who wanted to write but didn’t know how. ❤️

[Owen Guo @BJ_Southerner]

Here you see an amusing, smart Carlos, whose devotion to journalistic craft was unparalleled. ❤️He wrote the lede.“Unilever brought its Rexona deodorant to China a decade ago, dreaming of a market with 2.6 billion armpits.”https://t.co/NgizugNAKA #EditedbyCRTejada
