ON THE COVER: For this celebration of Judy Blume, we wanted to channel the era she began writing in without get- ting too heavy-handed — her work, after all, is as relevant today as it was in the 1970s. CORRECTION: Our profile of Melissa Lantsman (Winter 2025) described her as “sharply critical of how the federal Liberals handled the outbreak with preventative measures such as the closure of elementary schools.” While it is true that Lantsmans remain critical of both the federal Liberals and elementary school closures, it was provincial governments that were responsible for the latter.
