Adrian Morrow
Adrian Morrow covers U.S. politics, policy and the Canada–U.S. relationship for The Globe and Mail, with a focus on explaining how decisions in Washington and across the United States translate into concrete consequences for people and institutions. His reporting leans on ground-level reporting and narrative detail, tying local stories and voter sentiment to the broader structures of governance and cross-border ties. He has built this approach over more than a decade on the politics beat, combining work on U.S. national issues with earlier accountability reporting on provincial politics and government dealings.
U.S. politics and elections
Morrow’s core focus is U.S. politics, covering elections, governance and the policy fights that shape the country. In recent coverage of the midterm campaign, he reported on how large data centres have become flashpoints for voters worried about land use, energy consumption and local control, using a township dispute to illustrate how national political debates play out in specific communities. His daily beat includes closely tracking battles in Congress, campaign dynamics and the partisan strategies that drive lawmaking, which he then translates for readers who follow U.S. developments from abroad.
He regularly writes about how political actors respond to institutional pressure, including coverage of a U.S. decision to freeze a joint defence board over concerns about Canada’s military spending, framing it as part of a wider pattern of strain in bilateral defence co-operation.
Canada–U.S. trade and defence disputes
A distinct strand of Morrow’s work looks at trade tensions and security issues between Canada and the United States, treating cross-border disputes as political stories as much as economic ones.
His reporting on Ottawa’s rejection of a U.S. trade deal and the ensuing public sparring emphasized the stakes for both countries’ industries and workers, while detailing how negotiators and politicians manoeuvre as tariff deadlines approach. In a story on looming tariffs as Canadian negotiators tried to strike a deal, he followed the clock on impending measures, explaining the leverage each side held and the domestic pressures shaping their positions. Across this coverage, he consistently connects technical trade rules, defence boards and diplomatic exchanges to the broader political narratives that resonate with voters and lawmakers on both sides of the border.
Policy reporting on health care, abortion and social issues
Morrow also writes deeply reported features on social policy, using individual stories to illuminate contentious debates over health care, abortion and broader questions of rights and equity. In his work on the Medicare for All debate, he reported from a rural pop-up clinic providing free medical care, showing how gaps in the health system shape the lives of patients while situating their experiences inside the national argument over universal coverage. He has examined the coronavirus pandemic as a failure decades in the making, treating it as the product of long-term policy choices and institutional weaknesses rather than a standalone crisis. His coverage of Alabama’s abortion law looked at how the legislation divides a place central to the history of the civil-rights movement, linking present-day legal battles to the region’s legacy and the lived reality of residents.
Other work has explored gun violence, migration, climate policy and campaign finance through reporting trips across numerous states, with stories on health care in Virginia, trade in Missouri, gun violence in Chicago and Memphis, migration in Texas, climate in Michigan and Mississippi, abortion in Alabama and campaign finance in Florida.
Investigations into political fundraising and labour deals
Before focusing on U.S. politics, Morrow reported on provincial politics and government accountability, building a track record of investigative work on money, influence and labour arrangements. As a politics reporter at the Ontario legislature, he uncovered a cash-for-access fundraising system, detailing how political donors gained access and the implications for governance and public trust. He also broke stories on secret government payments to public sector unions, explaining the terms of the deals and how they intersected with labour peace and education policy. In addition to politics, his earlier general assignment work included coverage of news, crime and sports, which broadened his reporting range and helped shape his ability to move between daily news and long-form explanatory pieces. His recognition with a National Newspaper Award for politics reporting reflects this combination of investigative rigour and accessible storytelling on complex political subjects.
