Hi! I'm Tod 🇨🇦
I'm a Canadian culture and political commentator, I run a social media moderation agency, and I'm a national business journalist covering the digital marketing industry.
➡︎ Links to all my social media are here ⬅︎
🇨🇦 CANADIAN COMMENTATOR
I make videos and essays about Canadian politics and culture. I write the weekly newsletter From Far and Wide, post content daily on YouTube (become a member!), write essays for my Patreon, provide analysis on Bluesky, and doomscroll on other social media.
📝 NATIONAL BUSINESS JOURNALIST
Every weekday, I write Today in Digital Marketing – the marketing industry's leading email newsletter about the digital ad and social media space, followed by thousands of executives. I also host and produce its twice-weekly companion podcast.
💼 DIGITAL AGENCY OWNER
I own and manage engageQ — a social media engagement and moderation firm, helping brands turn online engagement into action in their social channels. We work with only a few clients at a time.
👾 GAMING LIVESTREAMER (just for fun)
I also play video games poorly, live on the Internet. You can watch and make fun of me on my Twitch channel (“LowEffortDad”). Follow my gaming social media channels.
And in my past lives…
I’ve been a national CBC Radio host and producer
I founded a dot com company that I took public
I spent 20 years as a marketing keynote speaker
….and wrote a couple of books
