About

I’m Abby McLaughlin, a freelance journalist based in Montréal.

I report across Canada and the UK on politics, policy, and the decisions that shape everyday life.

My work focuses on how power is experienced from elections and public services to questions of identity, inequality, and democratic accountability.

I’m particularly interested in how political decisions are felt beyond institutions: in communities, public spaces, and the rhythms of daily life.
