I wrote an intimate, warts-and-all obituary for a strange and intoxicating fellow, whom I spent more time interviewing than any other person over more than 25 years: Canada's most prolific police informant, Marvin "The Weasel" Elkind. “It’s an awful thing when the only thing you’re good at is being a fink,” Marvin once told me. That wasn’t the only thing he was good at, of course. He was the cooperative subject of one my books, called The Weasel: A Double Life in the Mob. It is an incredible story, thanks to Marvin and the raw, vivid, dangerous, very real life he led, as a kid, as a boxer, as a gangster, and as a prolific fink. Marvin "The Weasel" Elkind collapsed in the night on Sunday. He could not be resuscitated. He was two months shy of his 90th birthday. It was sad Wednesday, helping to spade earth over his casket at his grave. It really crystallizes a sense of eternal loss. Please take a moment to read my story about this unique life. I suspect you’ll never read another like it: https://lnkd.in/g_yCjVxV

Former National Post reporter Tom Blackwell spent more than 10 years covering health care, often reporting on medicine’s failings. Now he writes about his own family’s ordeal — the months of waiting for a MRI and misdiagnosis of a life-threatening cancerous tumour on his wife’s spine. At their own expense, Tom and his wife Zena fled to the U.S. to be properly diagnosed. His story is a dramatic and authoritative account of what can and often does go wrong in Canada’s health-care system.

“It turns out succession is really hard.” Heather Reisman’s retirement didn’t unfold quite as planned. In early June, the founder and executive chair of Indigo Books & Music Inc., the country’s largest book retailer, announced she would be officially stepping down on Aug. 22, just six days before her 75th birthday. Three weeks into her supposed “retirement,” Indigo issued a press release stating she was returning to the helm as CEO. She suggested her return was intended to mark a course correction for a company that, in her words, “took a journey off brand.” Now, books are back at Indigo as the founder has returned to turnaround the troubled retailer.
