Change is constant in media. Some of it is invigorating, and other times, heart-breaking.
The closure of @HuffPostCanada @HuffPostQuebec hurts on so many levels. I’m so proud of its people and its legacy. It was a privilege to have been part of it.
Today, as a former HuffPoster, I am beyond sad.
We see our beloved site @HuffPostCanada go dark.
But we are sad most of all for our talented colleagues.
For those of you in the industry, they are fellow journalists.
For us, it’s family.

And then, THE PEOPLE. The alums, you know I love you. But the people right now, who have kept on pursuing and writing and investigating and publishing stories that bring people across this country information and joy throughout this pandemic, and well before it:

The LIFE team: @MaijaKappler @NatStechyson @WriterValHowes @gollydrat @nicholasmizera @mmmbutters. You seek out the stories no one else is telling in this space and you bring them to life (heh). You champion the voices that aren't heard nearly enough. HIRE THESE PEOPLE.

So happy have @alau2 back at @CBCNews as Managing Editor of Digital News. I'm also so proud of her leadership and work at @HuffPostCanada. Welcome home.
I have been blessed, privileged, and honoured to have been part of @HuffPostCanada for 8 years. I've learned to be a better journalist, manager, leader thanks to every single person there, past & present. So I have many 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 as I say goodbye to them ...

So true. Wonderful piece that digs into why those of us who had old passions for cooking have returned to it in these days.
