Kangaroo on loose in Oshawa for 3 days has been captured.
Kangaroos don’t belong in Canada. Returning them to zoo captivity is not a “happy ending.” Why do you think they escape?? This isn’t the first time. My take, from 2021:

Long, very well-reported read on the human price paid in trying to start a union at Starbucks in Buffalo. Devastating for this young woman; tactics employed by the corporation are significant for union drives across the U. S. - and Canada.

To understand why the Starbucks organizing drive is so important to the shrinking labor movement, it helps to understand the story of Lexi Rizzo. A short thread: https://t.co/8WAajLfK48

Read our daughter’s lovely feature on blind theatre artist Alex Bulmer’s new play for Crow’s Theatre. Looks like a must see. Way to go @AletheaMB !

[@aletheamb.bsky.social @AletheaMB]

both my parents (@Bakogeorge and @CNMushka) are journalists and I am not, but I was so happy to be asked to sit down with Alex Bulmer! I took a crack at my family business to discuss interdependence and Alex’s new show Perceptual Archaeology @crowstheatre:

The stunning Koh-i-Noor 💎 — the most controversial jewel in the royal collection — was nowhere to be seen at King Charles III’s blingy #Coronation.

The decision to leave it locked away avoided a major blow-up with India as trade talks continue.

NEW profile of the most powerful civil servant in Britain

“I hate that man — he’s a worm,” spat one official who has worked in numerous government departments. The sentiment is not uncommon.

Spanish, Danish and other NATO soldiers sing a Ukrainian Christmas carol in the forests of Latvia, right next to the border with Russia.

Hopefully, NATO will make sure to send some special Christmas present to Ukraine.

United we stand!

@thetimes should make this story free to all readers. More people need to know how Russia uses the arts.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February, a complex web of links between the arts world and the Russian state emerged. Has Putin been using culture to wield soft power beyond Russia’s borders? @spencemads reports https://t.co/wwjioNjfbH

Thirty years ago I was in the audience when @BobRae48 had the courage to welcome Salman Rushdie onstage at PEN Canada's benefit -- the first political leader to do so. Rushdie had been in hiding. Everyone was terrified for his safety. And now this https://t.co/fvFPuUNv5K

Bayraktar, name of Turkish-made drones. Would Erdogan dance to this?

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Bayraktar is a word that every Ukrainian knows and loves 💛💙

Serhii Shvets was in the kitchen, his six-year-old eating breakfast and his wife was in the bathroom. Then, he saw a rocket outside. As he grabbed his son, covering him with his body, the glass windows in their home exploded.

Heartening story from @janicedickson in Moldova.

[Janice Dickson @janicedickson]

In Rusanda Alexandru Curca’s village in Moldova, there are about 100 abondoned homes. She showed me a few that she’s fixing up for Ukrainian refugees: https://t.co/ZB71GH9XZi #Moldova #Ukraine

Can you spot the modern weeds vs. bulrushes grown from century-old seeds? Our team got a great surprise when plants sprouted from a historical seedbank in the Port Lands. Read more:
