Its paths are strewn with lumps of quartz, its rivers and rain poisoned and its jacarandas overwhelmingly beautiful in October. read more

Canada botched its response to COVID. But, when it came to vaccines, Alan Freeman writes, we did it right. Consider the difference between Canada and Australia: Australia has long been hailed as a haven in the midst of the pandemic.
