✊ Solidarity with @CMGLaGuilde members fighting for fair wages.

In a time of growing misinformation, reliable news depends on trusted reporting.

Canadian media workers deserve respect, security, and a fair deal.

We have been bargaining with our employer for nearly six months, looking for a general wage increase that keeps up with inflation, as well as protection against AI. We’re hoping CP management makes an offer our members can accept when we’re next at the table. #onpoli #canlab

Canadian arts festivals get tens of millions in the federal budget, but not everyone is happy.

Hot Docs was left out despite cries of an "urgent need for financial support."

Eclipses have historically been more difficult to experience for those living with blindness or low vision.

But some are hoping to change that with tools designed to make Monday's event more accessible, including through sound: https://t.co/sDkbccHzyC @CdnPressNews

One box of unsorted returns had six or seven category romance novels — a reader after my own heart.

Going behind the scenes at the library was unlike anything I’d experienced. In a store, you see what booksellers think customers will read. The hundreds of thousands of books at the Scarborough distribution hub are ones that individual readers sought out.

Staffers are racing to get hundreds of thousands of books out of storage and back on shelves following a cyberattack on the @torontolibrary's computer systems in October https://t.co/WbEpX7UIk3 — by @ColeyT

CALLOUT: I'm looking to chat with TIFF diehards about how the news of the actors' strike might affect your plans this year. Were you looking forward to the star-studded sightings? Will you still attend if A-listers don't? DM or reach me at [email protected]

"The visibility is complicated. No doubt we need to see ourselves and our joy reflected...But of course, that can also lead to backlash, and does lead to the most vulnerable members of our community being affected the most in that way."
