About the author
Jason Kirby is a reporter for The Globe and Mail, where he writes for the Report on Business. His recent work focuses on the economy, trade, business, and policy, and he has also appeared on the paper's podcasts to explain stories ranging from tourism and tariffs to labour and internal trade.
A recurring thread in his journalism is making complicated numbers feel concrete. Through reported features and chart-driven explainers, he helps readers see how policy and economic change show up in everyday life.
The Globe and Mail has also highlighted his connection to Norfolk County, Ontario, noting that he grew up in that agricultural region. That background adds a grounded perspective to some of his reporting on farming, workers, and regional economies.
