Not quite a year after the initial momentum of #MeToo, a number of men who disappeared from the public arena are now trying to stage comebacks with high-profile apologies. Lauren McKeon writes about the perils of these apologies. We look into the flawed gifted program in Canada’s schools, in an era where education is all about choices. Bob Rae writes that Doug Ford used the notwithstanding clause as “a weapon,” putting the rule of law to the test.

Plus: Tanya Tagaq’s Split Tooth and Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black are both on the Giller Prize longlist. Read an excerpt of Split Tooth and a review of Washington Black.
