Books

Hi! I'm Margaret Evans and I have been a writer/ journalist and author for over 50 years. I have written five non-fiction books and have several other book projects in the works.  

Journalism

My experience as a journalist began in the early 1970s. Since then I've written hundreds of articles, opinion editorials and columns for newspapers and magazines on a wide variety of topics.
Talks
The publication of my book Heart of a Hoofbeat  led to a multimedia talk on horses. That led to the production of more talks on wildlife, marine life, domestic animals and the challenges of climate change. 

Courses

In 2013, I began offering writing courses. Many writers face both excitement and challenges when starting a project. I wanted to share all I have learned to help them successfully publish their work.   


I'm happy to announce that my blog website woofswhiskersandwhinnies.com is up and running. Please visit it! I'll be uploading more blog stories regularly, sharing stories of my dogs, cats and horses and insights into their wisdom and understanding of the world as they see it and sense it. Also included in my blog stories  are scientific discoveries and developments that benefit pets and, in some instances, wildlife.


Given President Trump’s tariff activities that have threatened global economics and put economic force on Canada, it has never been more urgent for Canada to expand and diversify its global trade and alliance opportunities. Enter the EU. The European Union is Canada’s second largest trading partner and one with which we already have a free trade agreement under CETA. In 2023 Canada and the EU traded $157.3 billion in goods and services. 


While at first glance it sounds odd for Canada to consider being an EU member (Canada being far from the geographical region of Europe), 19,062,115 (52 per cent) Canadians identify as having a European heritage according to the 2021 Canadian census. The idea apparently has already pinged interest among a few politically connected European folks. We have desirable natural resources to offer Europe and Europe has a large and diversified skilled labour market that could benefit Canada. Becoming an EU member may or may not materialize but at the very least strengthening and expanding our European alliance would benefit both Canada and the EU in a critical step to distance ourselves from Trump tariffs.
