You Tell Us

Past and present

After flipping through our May/June 2022 issue, one reader wrote in to tell us what she liked—and to share a memento from Chatelaine ’ s past. Last month’ s issue is so well done. Not that I don ’t look forward to every issue, but I feel like the issue had the perfect combination of topics and enough great recipes—from homemade bagels to Vietnamese coffee—to keep me cooking all summer long. I especially loved the article featuring female solo van lifers who embrace their independence. And, as always, the humour column at the end lets me finish my evening reading Chatelaine curled up in bed with a smile.

To finish off my note, I’ll share an illustration I just framed from an archival Chatelaine booklet my mom had saved. At 37 and single, I’ ve finally bought my first home—a townhouse in Whitehorse, Yukon—and I’ m planning a massive wall of framed photos and artwork We love hearing your feedback on the magazine—please keep it coming. Send your thoughts to letters@chatelaine.com.

that represents women in all our various historical moments and iterations. — Emily Sheff, Whitehorse, Yukon

The personal is political

On Twitter, our profile of Michelle Rempel Garner (“Michelle Rempel Garner Doesn ’t Care If You Like Her ”) sparked conversations about Canadian women in politics. This is a good read. Rempel Garner has come to the realization words have consequences. She ’ s changing. @3rdtimewalter

I’ ve known @MichelleRempel on and off for over 20 years. We disagree on a few things, but I think she plays an important role in shaping a positive future for Canada. Worth a read. @daveshorr

What will be really great is if, one day soon, all Canadian political parties begin to give female candidates genuine support and place them in ridings that are winnable. Sadly, this has not been the case. @howardruns

We need to clarify something from our last issue . . .

Our profile of Michelle Rempel Garner incorrectly stated that a Muslim family from London, Ont., was killed in 2020; the attack occurred in 2021. Chatelaine apologizes for the error.
