He says 70 is the beginning of the end – but writer Ian Brown isn't lying down

from The Sunday Magazine

His hobby list is long. His social calendar’s full. And while his mind and body aren’t immune to the effects of aging, the veteran journalist sees fragility as a kind of “enhanced humanity”. Ian Brown reflects on joining the ranks of Canada's "super-aged" society while that society changes rapidly around us.Plus: Sanna Marin steered Finland through the pandemic and neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine as the country's prime minister. But her life outside work, having fun with friends, tended to catch the press's attention. She reflects on the double standard she sees for women in politics, and how to ensure they're not discouraged from getting involved.
