    Enzo DiMatteo

    Enzo was born in Belgium and emigrated with his family to Canada in the heat of Trudeaumania. He grew up in Toronto’s west end and cut his teeth in journalism in the 90s covering cop stories and whatever madness skinheads in the neo-Nazi movement were up to. He is a winner of numerous writing awards and the only (alleged) Commie banned from entering Cuba. It’s complicated. Claims to fame: champion wood-chopper and hammer-thrower.
