What to eat when your cultural staples aren't in Canada? I present "Fresh off the Shelf," a six-part The Tyee series on the consuming work that diasporas put in to source ingredients, machinery and knowledge to put food products back on the table. Part1: thetyee.ca/News/2023/04/2…

Thx for reading "Fresh off the Shelf"! My The Tyee series was long in the making, and a thrill to meet the transformative trailblazers who put cultural staples back on the table for diasporas in Canada. All six parts here: thetyee.ca/Series/2023/04… s/o editor Jackie Wong

Like many Chinatown seniors, Ms. Liang raised her grandkids, moved out on her own, got a job (washing dishes), then started binning to help with the bills. Because of their age and marginality, they're often the target of abuse. My The Tyee story: thetyee.ca/News/2023/05/1…
