On the day we hit a new tragic milestone with over 1000 deaths from COVID-19, the Sask. Party hit a new low.

My message to the people of Saskatchewan.

As one of your constituents, I'm deeply disappointed. While I understand that it is an MP's job to listen to the people you represent, the people at this protest have made themselves very clear - they are opposed to the measures that are in place to keep our most vulnerable safe.

A few of our SK Caucus members went to show our appreciation for the hardworking, patriotic truckers who have kept our supply chains healthy & grocery shelves stocked for the past two years. It’s great to see Canadians championing freedom on Parliament Hill. #freedomconvoy22

Humboldt Broncos’ Ryan Straschnitzki had a 7-hour back surgery but is paralyzed chest down and will likely never walk again.

He is not letting this deter him however.

“He just looked at me and his mother and he goes, ‘well, I’m gonna get onto the Olympic sledge hockey team.’”

I'm far from my home in SK but #Humboldt is still in my thoughts and prayers. To all the families and friends touched by this tragic accident, stay strong! Remember that the entire country stands with you. 💚💛 #HumboldtStrong #SaskatchewanStrong

2/2 Another problem has surfaced because of this; that of individual sovereignty over one's digital identity and personal data. This is where the concept of "self-sovereignty" comes in. #UOTM18

1/2 The Internet can be compared to the "High Seas" in the sense that there are no set jurisdictional spaces and there have been many new legal formulations needed to resolve different issues regarding justice and legitimacy. (https://t.co/AdhA23Ng3q) #UOTM18

This article explains very well the concept of self-sovereign identity and how it could be used to store claims, proofs and attestations in a safe and effective way: https://t.co/42x6emnok7 #UOTM18 #Blockchain

Self-sovereign identity: a decentralized identity system; all accounts would be linked to a single identity you provide and control (https://t.co/MjhbUBWuur) #UOTM18

[Marissa St. Amand @MarissaStAmand]

Identity providers on the Internet: provide you with an identifier, a means of recording attributes important to that provider, and some method of proving it's you (https://t.co/MjhbUBWuur) #UOTM18

Personal Learning Environment (ou Network): On choisit des sources d'information; on se situe dans les réseaux sociaux et les institutions qui nous permettent d'apprendre sur ce qui nous intéresse; bref, une base de données qu'on construit nous-mêmes #UOTM18

"…it is [computational thinking] — not coding, or spreadsheets, or visualisation — that I believe distinguishes the next wave of journalists." - @paulbradshaw (https://t.co/pAMEig6BmA) #ComputationalThinking #DataJournalism #Journalism #UOTM18

This article explains the (somewhat confusing) cryptocurrency-based journalism marketplace, Civil, and why this is so important to journalists (https://t.co/LR2y2m954E) #blockchain #journalism #UOTM18

Data journalism is changing and evolving: on the technical side, an increase in automation; on the political side, a retreat from open data and transparency. (https://t.co/RczVJdicXl) #UOTM18 #DataJournalism

L'invention de l'écriture: pour la première fois, les symboles linguistiques sont figées et capables de se conserver par elles-mêmes #UOTM18

Le premier médium de communication = la parole #UOTM18

[Marissa St. Amand @MarissaStAmand]

Les individus s'informent de plus en plus à partir des médias sociaux, et de moins en moins des médias classiques. Ceci fait en sorte que les journalistes se trouvent à devoir se réinventer. #UOTM18
