I’m not much of a “personal news” announcement person, formal or otherwise (heck, my last insta post was in 2018 and Facebook nearly non-existent)

My calling to public service and commitment to facts, good storytelling and journalism isn't going anywhere. But ultimately, this new role will allow me to spend more time with my family. And that is something that takes priority for me in this phase of life. 5/

As the VP of the CAJ, I'm tired of politicians (and their teams) tweeting their disdain for online hate. Take a firm stance. Do something. Stop enabling the crowd that just won't stop harassing and threatening journalists. Show them why journalists are important to our society.
While we appreciate the words of support, journalists continue to receive threatening online messages. We need all political leaders, particularly those currently in government, to come together and take online hate seriously through legislation and enforcement. Actions > words

Did you know Ontario is warming at 2x the global average? How does that impact municipalities? Has climate change taken a backseat to pandemic? @AMOPolicy the Premier didn’t mention climate change in keynote. What does that indicate? @TheAgenda #AMO2022 thenarwhal.ca/ontario-cities…
What affect is climate change having on municipalities? At 8/11pm with Summer Stevenson (@CityThunderBay), David Pearson (@laurentianu), Sara MacRae (@DufferinCounty), Peter Weltman (@InfoFAO), and @namshine, with @AMOPolicy | Producers: @ColinEllis81 & @Mariasarrouh #onpoli

#Canada: Online violence against women journalists of colour continues unabated. @sabaeitizaz was among multiple women journalists targeted with vile and racially charged online abuse amid #CanadaDay celebrations. #CFWIJ condemns the attacks & demands action against perpetrators!
“Happy Canada Day”. TW: Graphic hate speech

Guess who is churning out the most coverage of the Canadian trucker protests? If you guessed #Russia's state media outlet RT, you're correct.

"The federal gov't has given no indication that it intends to drop the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers...[which] would make little difference for unvaccinated Cdn truckers, who would still be barred from crossing the border bc of U.S. regulations washingtonpost.com/world/202…

Quick thread: 

You’ve probably seen a Facebook group about American “trucker convoys” who want to block traffic in LA or DC. Guess what? Some of those groups were created by fake people in Romania.
 But some of them are now very real, and they’re really planning something.
