Eric Andrew-Gee
Eric Andrew-Gee covers Quebec politics through a historical lens, treating each story as part of a longer struggle over identity, power and the province’s place in Canada and the wider world. He reports for The Globe and Mail as a Quebec correspondent, writing about the politics and culture of the province with a consistent focus on how history shapes current events. His work stands out on the politics beat for the way it connects election campaigns, legal fights and cultural moments back to decades of constitutional debate, social change and scientific discovery.
Quebec elections and sovereigntist politics
Andrew-Gee’s core political coverage follows Quebec’s electoral cycles and the ongoing sovereigntist question, treating campaign stories as tests of the province’s constitutional future. He has reported on scenarios in which Quebec is on the cusp of electing a separatist government promising a referendum, tracking how party platforms and public sentiment converge around the prospect of independence. In coverage of Quebec’s premier warning about U.S. attempts to sow division ahead of an election, he examines allegations of foreign interference aimed at supporting sovereigntist forces and reshaping the relationship between Quebec and Canada. These pieces look beyond daily tactics to ask what new actors, including foreign think tanks and federal briefings, mean for the durability of Canadian federalism and Quebec’s political trajectory.
His reporting in this space balances close attention to the mechanics of campaigns with clear explanations of the stakes for national unity and economic alignment.
Indigenous rights and resource battles
Alongside elections, he reports on Indigenous communities’ efforts to assert rights and shape provincial policy, particularly where land use and resource extraction are at stake.
In coverage of an Indigenous group launching a lawsuit to block forestry permits over a large territory, Andrew-Gee follows the legal strategy as well as the political response, framing the case as a test of how Quebec balances economic priorities with treaty obligations and environmental stewardship. The piece focuses on permits, court filings and government positions rather than abstract debate, giving a concrete view of how policy plays out on the ground.
This strand of his work highlights Indigenous political agency within Quebec’s system and shows how these conflicts intersect with broader questions of provincial autonomy and federal responsibility.
Quebec identity, culture and history
Andrew-Gee’s political reporting is closely tied to Quebec’s cultural life, and he often uses stories from sport, science and local institutions to illuminate the province’s sense of itself. His feature on Montreal Canadiens defenceman Lane Hutson during a playoff run takes a hockey story and situates it in the wider culture of Quebec’s flagship team, showing how sport can become a site of aspiration and regional pride.
Beyond day-to-day reporting, he is the author of “The Mind Mappers,” a history of the Montreal Neurological Institute and two pioneering neurosurgeons whose collaboration and falling-out helped chart the human brain. That book reflects the same interest seen in his political work: how institutions, personalities and scientific breakthroughs shape the present and the stories a society tells about itself.
His professional bios describe a special interest in how history shapes current events, and this theme runs through his coverage of Quebec’s politics and culture.
Long-form reporting and national reach
Andrew-Gee’s style is grounded in long-form reporting that combines political detail with narrative structure, making complex issues accessible without losing nuance. He has won National Newspaper Awards for his journalism, reflecting recognition for both depth of reporting and craft of storytelling across his portfolio.
His work has appeared not only in The Globe and Mail but also in magazines such as The Walrus, Toronto Life and The New Republic, extending his reach beyond daily news into essayistic and feature formats.
Across these outlets, he applies the same approach seen in his Quebec coverage: close reporting, careful historical context and an interest in how institutions and ideas shape people’s lives. For political stories involving Quebec, sovereignty, Indigenous rights or historically rooted conflicts, his work offers a combination of clear explanation and textured narrative that distinguishes it from more narrowly procedural coverage.
