Ya girl travelled to Thailand and back to Canada during a pandemic. Two contrasting quarantines allowed me to witness a HUGE gap in both countries' COVID-19 response.

Disappearing a man for protesting state violence is fascism.

New from me in @readthemaple

Our news media is in a crisis - this we know. How bad is it?

I argue the canary in the proverbial coal mine is a case study look at CTV News and Bell’s “streamlining” drive in light of (continual) “unprecedented” times.

Our analysis found that in at least 44 Ottawa schools, more than half of all water tests conducted between 2019 and 2023 exceeded the federal safety limit for lead.

[Jan Ska 🇨🇦 @JanMoleski]

Surprised this isn't bigger news. Lead tainted drinking water in Ottawa schools?
OCDSB says test results and actions are shared with the ON govt, OPH, and posted to website. Parents need to be directly informed to prevent exposure.

“I have concepts of a plan” is what I tell editors when I have zero words on the page.

I am mostly resigned to the fact, after 20 years of writing about it, that most readers just don't care about prisoners in Canada. Even still, I'm surprised there isn't more public outrage about @jpags reporting on strip searches in Ontario's youth jails. https://t.co/ObytbF8CfP

CBC paid $18.4 million in bonuses after hundreds of jobs at the public broadcaster were eliminated. More than $3.3 million of that was paid to 45 executives, who got an average bonus of over $73,000, more than the median family income after taxes in 2022. https://t.co/QyLKz4uN1e

I tried to take two weeks off to get married and go on a honeymoon. In that time someone tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump, there was a global IT outage, and President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. I’m back this week.

This story feels big - so big - and yet the attention level continues to be less than lukewarm. I look at the numbers and I scratch my head as to why the levels of concern and action are not far greater.

[Nick Hune-Brown @nickhunebrown]

This heat wave feels like a good time to talk about RBC, the biggest fossil fuel financier of the big five banks according to a recent report, and how they're responding to criticism

[Robert Cribb @thecribby]

Fallout from the @UofT_ijb analysis of lead in Ontario school and daycare drinking water: major media, politicians and parents asking why dangerous levels of a neurotoxin with long-term health impacts continue without response or accountability.
