He has since written a variety of news stories for magazines ranging from Canadian Business to Saturday Night. He spent several years writing news and city columns for the Montreal Mirror where his articles shed light on often sensational yet little-known stories about Montreal, including the reputed Montreal demises of Veronica Lake and Maurice Duplessis,[1] the trial of three women accused of beating rock star Serge Fiori[2] and the ongoing tragedy of the Duplessis Orphans.[3]
