Tony Keller: About Tony Keller

I'm a columnist with The Globe and Mail. You can read my columns here.

I'm also the author of Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong.

You can buy the book here, here and here. And in the U.S., here.

I'm the 2025 McGill Max Bell Lecturer.

In more than 30 years in journalism, I've been an editorial writer, editorial board chair and columnist for The Globe and Mail; columnist for the Toronto Star, Report on Business Magazine and Toronto Life; managing editor of Maclean's; editor of The Financial Post Magazine; and a TV news anchor on BNN Bloomberg.

I began my career at The Globe and Mail in 1991, as a member of the paper's editorial board.

I won a National Newspaper Award in 2014, and was nominated on two other occasions.

A bilingual Montrealer who has lived in Toronto for three decades, I hold a B.A. (history and political science) from Duke and a Master of Studies in Law from Yale.

I have also been a teaching fellow with the Cambodia Genocide Project (1995), a visiting fellow at the Faculty of Law of the University of Toronto (2004-05), an executive fellow at The Mowat Centre at U of T (2010-11), and a visiting senior fellow at the Wilson Center (2018).

I ran track at Duke, but not long after graduation, it dawned on me that running is a sport with a poor risk/return profile, and a terrible pain/pleasure ratio. I decided to switch to a pass time that offers nothing but joy, and where every moment is upside.

All things considered, I'd rather be playing hockey right now.
