Openly gay and right-of-center politically, Sue-Ann was one of the top read Toronto Sun columnists because of her outspoken opinions, take-no-prisoners writing style and the fearless way with which she tackled the elitists in government, other publicly funded institutions and in the media. She made it her crusade to expose waste and mismanagement, to promote an unpopular cost-cutting agenda and to probe issues no other journalists have dared to tackle. Her exposes included investigations into the largest social housing company in North America, the homeless and poverty industries, the Pan Am Games, and the unaffordable affordable housing business. In late August of 2016, Sue-Ann's first book - Underdog: Confessions of a Right-Wing, Gay Jewish Muckraker (https://www.amazon.com/Underdog-Confe...) - was released by Penguin Random House Canada to rave reviews and media coverage across Canada and in such international publications as the Times of Israel. Sue-Ann is a seasoned pundit and public speaker on a variety of political, gay, Jewish and topical issues and has been asked regularly to appear at conferences and on political panels. Since her retirement from full-time reporting in 2021, Sue-Ann has freelanced for the independent platform True North, focusing on range of op-ed topics including the education system and the rabid rise in anti-Semitism over the past 19 months. A seasoned runner, Sue-Ann achieved her dream of running the Jerusalem half-marathon in March of 2018, one of the top five most difficult courses in the world. She divides her time between Toronto, Canada and Delray Beach, Florida with her wife, Denise Alexander and their three politically incorrect dachshunds, Fritzy, Monty and pipsqueak Frida.
