More Events and Another Giveaway

A reminder that our first subscribers event in Ottawa is fast approaching. Three members of The Times’s Washington bureau will be at the National Gallery of Canada on Sept. 5 to discuss the 2018 midterm elections and their potential consequences for Canada and the rest of the world in the age of President Trump. I’m moderating. Everything you need to know about the event, including how to buy tickets, can be found here.

The previous evening, Sept. 4, we’re holding another screening of selections from our Opinion section’s Op-Docs video series at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema in Toronto. I hosted an earlier session and was amazed at how the videos were transformed when projected onto a full-sized theater screen.

The video screening will be hosted by Lindsay Crouse, coordinating producer for Op-Docs, and most of the six videos are about Canada or produced by Canadians. After the screening, Ms. Crouse will have a discussion with Charlie Tyrell from Toronto (director of the moving “My Dead Dad’s Porno Tapes”) and the director Matthieu Rytz of Montreal (“Sinking Islands, Floating Nation,” a video about an ambitious plan to deal with rising sea levels in the nation of Kiribati).
