About us
The Northern Office is a small operation with a large cast. Some of them are real. We tell the truth about cross-border life in two voices at once: a warm sense of humour about what makes us Canadian, and genuinely useful tools for the snowbirds, expats, and dual citizens caught between two tax systems. Here is the team.
The team
Agent Zed
Special Liaison, Southern Operations
Agent Zed rode up from somewhere south of the 49th and never fully explained why. Six feet of leather and opinions, he has spent the last twenty years judging baby pageants, a fact he volunteers more often than you would expect. He handles our American operations, our intimidation needs, and the office chili cook-off, which he has never lost. Gruff. Tough. Surprisingly good with a glue gun.
Two-Four Timmy
Field Correspondent, The Canadian Outpost
Two-Four Timmy files dispatches from the field, wherever the field happens to have cell service and a Tim Hortons. Named for the case of twenty-four he considers standard travel kit, Timmy covers the stories the big desks miss: the closing of a beloved arena snack bar, the great butter-tart schism of his hometown, a moose with strong opinions about a roundabout. If it is happening at the edge of the map, Timmy is already there, slightly cold.
Canada Man
Founder
Canada Man is a dual citizen who got tired of guessing at cross-border tax rules and built the thing he wished existed. By day, mild-mannered founder of The Northern Office. The cape is mostly for morale. He answers to Alex, holds two passports and one complicated relationship with the word home, and started this so the next snowbird would not have to figure it out alone.
