Hey! Today is my first day as Alberta correspondent for @the_logic. I'm still based in Calgary and still covering energy, especially pipelines and the majors, but also tech, data centres and the AI energy race. The Logic punches above its weight for business/tech coverage in Toronto & Ottawa. We're growing in Alberta too — and maybe bringing more Alberta to our Laurentian friends? Drop me a line. Introduce yourself. Story ideas, tips and regional grievances welcome [email protected]
This is the next step in building out our Calgary bureau and deepening our coverage of Western Canada. Welcome @mpotkins!
The Logic has hired @mpotkins as Alberta reporter. Read more in this note to staff from deputy managing editor Charlie Gillis.

At its best, journalism facilitates hard conversations through great reporting. Proud of @muradhem and @the_logic team for breaking and then staying on this story.
New from me: Y Combinator said it will resume investing in Canadian-incorporated firms, walking back a recent change after feedback from Canadian founders

The era of branch plant foreign policy is over. Welcome to the era of the bidding war.
My latest column in @the_logic looks at what Canada could learn from… El Salvador?
Yes, you read that right.

At a moment when truth is contested, AI-generated noise is everywhere, and governments dodge accountability, we’ve tried to hold the line on journalism’s first principles: be honest, fair, and brave.
My year-end note: thelogic.co/commentary/lette…
The scourge of single-source anonymous spin is the media’s self-inflicted wound. We can’t complain about trust while enabling PR leaks.
The distinction: Tips/whistleblowers are protected. PR officials seeking anonymity are rejected.

The internet is being rewritten.
Google’s AI Overviews now answer questions without sending users to original sources. News traffic is collapsing. Attribution is vanishing.

New @abacusdataca/@the_logic poll: Canadians evenly split on whether retaliation is best way to fight Trump, says poll thelogic.co/news/canadians-e…
Canada’s election got a lot more interesting over the past few months. A tight race. Two untested leaders. Big stakes for the economy. And, Trump.
We’re cutting through the noise to bring you the real story: thelogic.co/comment/letter-f…

This discussion between @dskok and @TheHerleBurly wins my vote for the most interesting and important podcast of 2025 so far. The sudden and extraordinary reach of tech leaders into all places - business, politics, government operations, geopolitics and more - is astonishing
Had a tough, honest conversation about making sense of this moment. Don’t miss it—thanks for having me on, @TheHerleBurly!

Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. We have a great show teed up for you today. It’s not an American topic, because it’s broader than that (which we’ll get to in a minute) but if you watched Trump’s inauguration, you couldn’t help but notice all the “tech-bro billionaires” seated on the dais, in their places of honour, flanking the incoming President. @elonmusk, @finkd, @JeffBezos, @tim_cook.
So, we're going to have a conversation about this growing influence of big tech and business... on our government, our politics ... and how they view journalism and media today.
I couldn’t have a better guest to do that with: @dskok! David is the founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of the very excellent @the_logic, Canada’s Business and Tech Newsroom.
And, there’s a Canadian context for all of this is: @tobi, founder of Shopify, is part of a group of tech entrepreneurs who have just launched a new platform called “Build Canada”, an effort to influence government policy on issues like immigration, healthcare and so on.
