Anyways, I’m not gonna sit here & say he was a good person. I don’t feel like I can make that call. I CAN say that he was a broken person & the system broke him even more. And now he’s dead. And his mom is listening to his prison old voicemails on repeat

THIS is what will make it hard to break up with Twitter.
Offering kids the choice of candy or a potato this year because I saw a meme about it. And honestly it’s super funny to see their reactions.

Your jaw will drop when you learn how the bases for the current disaster were built decades ago. Fantastic read.

i picked up both of @ethanjsacks’s releases today and both were FANTASTIC. we’ve all seen my reactions to bh but as someone who is notoriously bad at keeping up with marvel releases midnight suns was perfect and i loved it. congratulations on a great release day!!!

In August 2019, my former employer @EmilyCarrU hired Gina Adams, an “Ojibwe-Lakota” artist, as part of a restricted search for Indigenous faculty. Then people started asking questions about her identity— including me. My first feature for @macleans: macleans.ca/longforms/the-cu…

It’s like fate we would meet again. I’m honoured to have the chance opportunity to speak to Sipihko again at Lac Ste Anne today to thank her, and give her my copy of The Globe and Mail I was saving. The photo of her from yesterday is by far more her story than mine. Thank you.

I just read the first chapter of this book and now I have to stay up past my bedtime. The story is gripping. The writing is the kind of writing that makes you stop and reread perfect sentences. Buy it.

🧵If you, like me, got COVID after the deadline to apply to vote by mail, you can still vote in #OntarioElection2022! Here's how things went from "sorry you can't vote" to "we're showing up at your apartment in an hour with a ballot box" for me:

I'm not looking to re do the trial on twitter, but I'm trying to get you guys (whatever you think about what happened today) to just pause and think for a second about what the situation today means for any abused woman who is even thinking of speaking out

All this.
CN’s franco folly deserves condemnation—but it’s the exception, not the rule. buff.ly/370JtbN
This answer to a reporter's "gotcha" question was also a great demonstration of holding your ground when a reporter tries to repeatedly interrupt your answer. He also throws in some data at the end to demonstrate he knows his stuff but refuses to play the game. #mediatraining
Great answer. Most important lesson I leaned in politics was to talk about real things to real people - like how you will raise people out of poverty, how you will improve lives, how you will ensure a sustainable planet. People are smart. They deserve ideas, solutions, vision.

The most powerful feature that Twitter has: Advanced search Until recently I hadn't even heard of it, but now I use it all the time. Here are 6 twitter advanced search features that will revolutionise the way you search for what to read: 🧵👇

11 months after it was announced, Canada Infrastructure Bank’s board still has not approved its $655M investment in the Lake Erie Connector, and no money has flowed to the project. Paul Wells looks at why in his @the_logic debut: thelogic.co/news/the-big-rea…

If you are wondering why so many people have left journalism for PR or other consulting roles, do the math. $450 = $150/day here. Consultants with any sort of experience charge at least that for an HOUR. If we want people to pay for journalism, start paying for good people.
Because I genuinely don’t give a fuck: someone from the WaPo reached out to me on Monday to do a quick turnaround piece about politics. They offered me $450 to file within three days. And when I countered with a rate that made sense ($1K+) they said “sorry that won’t work.” I…😵‍💫

For a long time now I've thought that a deep problem we have—in Ottawa, in Ontario, in Canada, in the West—is that we've collectively forgotten that stuff is hard. Science is hard. Democracy is hard. Justice is hard. Defending ourselves is hard.
