She has also rebranded her shop, since operating a medical marijuana retail operation is officially illegal. But as of Friday, the provincial authorities had still not granted her license. She is determined to be part of the legal trade.

“I don’t look good in an orange jumpsuit,” she said, smiling.

This week’s Trans Canada and Around the Times highlights were compiled by the Canada audience growth editor, Lindsey Wiebe.

Trans Canada

—“My job is to encourage hesitant lovers to take the risk.” In this imagined fairy tale by the author Michael Cunningham, featured in the travel issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, a matchmaking sprite in Montreal remembers a now-iconic poet, a dancer, and the meeting that may or may not have inspired an unforgettable song.

—T’s travel issue also includes this guide to Montreal. On the agenda: vintage designer shopping, Cubist architecture, inspired cocktails and, of course, fresh bagels.

—There’s a lot of Calvin Klein underwear on display in the new music video by Carly Rae Jepsen, the B.C.-born pop star behind “Call Me Maybe.” But Calvin Klein says it had nothing to do with it.

—Every month, Netflix Canada introduces a new batch of programming. November’s highlights include the prescient sci-fi thriller “Children of Men,” as well as “Narcos: Mexico.” The crime drama’s third season leaves behind trafficking in Columbia and, with a new cast, follows the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel.

—In the latest edition of the Climate Fwd. newsletter, The Times’s energy and environment policy reporter Coral Davenport brings readers up to speed on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political battle over taxing carbon emissions.

Around the Times

—In the three years since Saudi Arabia unleashed a full-scale military campaign in Yemen, at least 10,000 civilians have been killed and 14 million face starvation. Robert F. Worth, the Times’s former bureau chief in Beirut, explores how the bloody war began, and why it will be so hard to end, for The New York Times Magazine.

—There’s an image of homelessness etched in the public consciousness, writes Nikita Stewart, a Times reporter who covers social services. That picture wouldn’t normally include baby Antonio, born homeless, and part of the largest single population in New York City’s shelter system: kids under the age of 6.

—A year ago, it was easy to be blissfully unaware of CBD, writes Alex Williams, reporter and feature writer for The Times. Now, judging by the hype, it’s as if everyone suddenly discovered yoga. Or penicillin. Or maybe oxygen.
