Jonathan Kay

A graduate of engineering and law, Mr. Kay has been writing for 16 years and is the Editor of The Walrus Magazine. His article "Why is Montreal’s Champlain Bridge, built within living memory, already on its last legs?" focuses on the engineering problems that have led to the bridge’s shortened lifespan, paying special attention to the components that are in the worst state of repair. It also highlights the public procurement process and how construction was a case of being too careful with small amounts of money but not careful enough with large amounts.
