Jason Kirby

He is a Canadian journalist and commentator who focuses on business, economics and public policy. His personal site presents him as an independent writer, and it also highlights work published by outlets including Maclean's, the Financial Times, The Globe and Mail and MoneySense.

At Maclean's, he has written on a wide range of subjects, from the stock market and inflation to immigration, housing and the broader Canadian economy. His articles stand out for translating big, sometimes abstract economic questions into stories that feel concrete and relevant to ordinary readers.

Across his work, the emphasis is practical and clear: what policy shifts, market swings and business trends actually mean for people living through them. That makes him a strong guide for readers who want smart analysis without unnecessary jargon.
