I’m a little late with my end-of-summer wrap….Summer 2026, you were a good one ❤️. Family, friends, graduations, adventures near and far, spectacular Canadian nature, inspiring art, far too much good food and a little work and commentary along the way.
A few highlights:
✈️ On the road: from the UK, France, Denmark and Norway to Mexico, Chicago and NYC. Wandering, hiking, discovering, seeing travels through a 15-year-old’s eyes, and celebrating graduations with some very proud aunty moments! 🎓❤️ Along the way, I enjoyed art I love at the Art Institute of Chicago, MoMA and MUNCH in Oslo.
🇨🇦 Canadian summer: Sonora Resort, BC; Muskoka, Ontario; and the Outaouais, Quebec. Time on the water and in nature, appreciating how spectacular our country is—and fishing for the first time and catching my first salmon! 🎣
🇫🇷 Lyon, France: food, food, food. A culinary delight! I ate, drank, wandered through food markets, and discovered wonderful restaurants over long meals with friends. Perhaps I’ll return for cooking lessons—en français! 👩🍳
🇺🇸 Washington, D.C.: a memorable visit with Ambassador John Negroponte, hearing stories from his work with Henry Kissinger to serving as President Reagan’s Deputy National Security Advisor. We bonded over Hong Kong, his first diplomatic posting and my birthplace.
❤️ Community: celebrating Chinese Canadian culture with @fetechinoise and stories from @plumleafpress; joining Agnes Lan and @davidkwokk for a lively conversation on @yspaceyu’s “At the Root” podcast; and cheering on IndyCar as it came to Markham!
🌎 Global trade: sharing my perspective on the changing global trading landscape, including Canada–U.S. trade and CUSMA, and spending time with leading voices on geopolitics, trade and the global economy.
🌍 @milkeninstitute: connecting with global investors and business leaders in the UK and making the case for Canada’s investability 🇨🇦, building on dialogues in Singapore, California, Washington and Mexico. Next up: Milken’s first Global Dialogue in Toronto on September 14, connecting Canadian opportunities and businesses with global capital.
Fall is gonna be busy…let’s go!
